Questions from industrial suppliers

Can I manage stock held on my customers' sites?

Yes. Remote stock lists cover central stores and cabinets per customer site, with consumption logging, replenishment picking lists and transfers between cabinets. Desktop or handheld terminals at the customer site let them draw stock by scan or search.

Can TABS read vending machine feeds?

Yes, as an optional module. Quantity snapshot files are collected from the customer's SFTP or FTP server on a schedule and applied to the cabinets, with every change logged and alerts on unknown items or connection failures.

Can trade customers order online at their own prices?

Yes. B2B web logins give account customers their contract pricing, pushed from TABS automatically, with credit ordering, a free-shipping flag where agreed and two-factor login.

Which workwear and PPE suppliers are connected?

Castle Clothing, including TuffStuff, Makita Workwear, Fort Workwear and Fort Footwear, plus Toolbank, Draper and Sealey for the wider range.
