Tools walk away, consumables run out at the worst moment, and nobody knows which job used what. ShopXpert turns your existing cabinets into a connected industrial vending system with badge access, job-level tracking, real-time stock levels, and automatic reordering.

Tooling and consumables are small items with a big effect on cost, uptime, and job margins.
The problemNew vending machines are expensive, and the cabinets on your floor already hold your inventory.
ShopXpert converts existing industrial cabinets, vending systems, and tool storage into one connected vending solution. A touchscreen kiosk gives employees a simple way to search, select a product, and open the right cabinet.
It works with leading cabinet brands, including Lista, Vidmar, Rousseau, US General, and Sonic. Have a different cabinet? Talk to us about a conversion.
The problemA key on a hook decides who opens the cabinet, which means anyone can.
XpertLock replaces the original key-operated cam lock with an electronic lock at the same location, so there is no drilling or cabinet redesign. It connects the cabinet to ShopXpert and controls access to every drawer.
Users and permissions are managed in ShopXpert, employees open the cabinet with their RFID badge, and every opening is logged. The XpertLock Relay connects existing vending systems to ShopXpert, too.
The problemTool costs land in overhead because nobody records which job they were used on.
At the kiosk, operators scan their RFID badge, then scan the job badge or select the job serial. Every product they take is linked to the employee and the job, and returnable tools are checked out and back in.
Because vending lives inside ShopXpert, those costs flow straight into job costing instead of a separate system.
The problemStock counts live in someone’s head, or on a clipboard that is two weeks old.
Load your catalog with images, SKUs, categories, and suppliers. Assign every product to a location, drawer, and bin, and set minimum and maximum quantities.
Every transaction updates stock in real time, and the movement history shows each change with the quantity before and after.
The problemReordering waits until someone notices the drawer is empty.
ShopXpert flags every product that reaches its minimum. With one click, or on a schedule you set, it creates purchase orders for everything below minimum, ordering enough to reach the maximum, and sends them to each product’s assigned supplier.
Choose daily, weekly, or monthly runs, the days and time, who is notified, and a minimum PO amount.
From the moment a product leaves the drawer, ShopXpert keeps the cabinet stocked.
Product DispensedAn employee takes a product with their badge and job.
Inventory UpdatedStock quantity drops in real time.
Reorder Level ReachedThe product is flagged as ready to order.
Purchase Order GeneratedOne click or a schedule creates the PO.
RestockedThe supplier delivers and the cabinet is full again.
The problemAt month end, tooling is one large invoice and nobody can say where it went.
The vending report shows every product dispensed, by location, employee, and job. Filter it, save your favorite views, and export formatted reports.
Inventory and expense reports show stock value and spend across every location, and an open API connects vending data to your other systems.
Stock your customers’ existing cabinets with your products, from cutting tools and inserts to abrasives, PPE, and MRO supplies, and let ShopXpert handle visibility and replenishment. It works like vendor-managed inventory with live consumption data.
Every dispense creates a future replenishment order.
Your products sit where your customer works every day.
See what customers use, where, and how often.
Purchase orders are created from real usage and inventory levels.
Vending data is most useful when it feeds jobs, quality, and purchasing.
An industrial vending system controls access to tools and consumables, records who took each item, and keeps stock replenished. ShopXpert does this with your existing cabinets, an XpertLock, a touchscreen kiosk, and software that tracks every transaction.
Usually not. XpertLock replaces the original cam lock at the same location, and conversion kits work with cabinet brands such as Lista, Vidmar, Rousseau, US General, and Sonic.
Employees scan their RFID badge at the kiosk and scan a job badge or select the job serial. Every product they take is linked to them and to that job.
Yes. Products below their minimum are flagged, and purchase orders can be created with one click or on a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule, ordering enough to reach the maximum quantity.
Yes. Vending is part of ShopXpert, so consumption feeds inventory, purchasing, job costing, and quality traceability without a separate integration.
