Streamline Asset Distribution with Smart Vending

In busy environments where tools, devices, or consumables are in constant use, manual distribution processes can become a challenge. Tracking who took what, when, and where it went is time-consuming, and when stock runs low, it often goes unnoticed until it's too late.

That’s where LapSafe®’s smart vending machines and automated replenishment service come in. Designed to take the pressure off your teams, they ensure the right equipment is always in the right place at the right time, without the admin headache.

Smart Vending Machine

Automating the Distribution of Tools and Equipment

Our smart vending machines offer secure, self-service access to a wide range of peripherals such as mice, keyboards, headsets, cables, and more. Users authenticate themselves, collect what they need, and get on with their day.

This approach removes the need for manual check-out systems or staffed distribution desks, reducing queues and freeing up team resources. The machine logs every transaction, giving managers full visibility and traceability over usage, inventory levels, and user behaviour.

Smart Replenishment: Never Run Out Again

The true power of our vending solution lies in the automated replenishment service.

As items are collected from the machine, our system tracks stock levels in real-time. When quantities fall below a set threshold, the system can automatically trigger replenishment alerts or even notify your supply chain partners directly, depending on your setup.

This proactive approach ensures your teams are never caught short.

Key Benefits of Smart Replenishment:

  • Minimised Downtime: Avoid delays caused by missing or depleted stock.
  • Full Visibility: View stock levels and usage data 24/7 through ONARKEN®.
  • Automated Alerts: Customisable notifications for low stock, item returns, or failed collections.
  • Vendor Integration: Optional integration with your suppliers for direct reordering.
  • Cost Control: Prevent over-ordering by replenishing only what’s needed.
  • Reduced Admin Burden: Say goodbye to spreadsheets and manual stock counts.

Designed for Your Environment

Our smart vending solutions are ideal for a wide range of sectors—from education and healthcare to manufacturing, retail, and emergency services. LapSafe®'s vending machines offer a scalable solution.

Each machine is powered by our in-house developed ONARKEN® platform, which provides:

  • Intelligent workflows tailored to your processes.
  • Real-time analytics and reporting.
  • Full audit trails and compliance data.
  • Integration with your existing systems.

Secure, Sustainable, and Scalable

As with all LapSafe® solutions, our vending machines are built with security, sustainability, and scalability in mind. Automated replenishment supports your sustainability goals by reducing unnecessary stockpiling and minimising waste. And because each system is modular and customisable, it grows with your organisation.
