Tool Vend combines intelligent point-of-use hardware, real-time tracking software and automated alerts to help MROs improve accountability, compliance and efficiency at scale.
Tell us about your operation, no commitment required.
Tool Vend units are engineered and deployed in line with EASA aviation maintenance tool control requirements, so your hangar stays audit-ready and compliant from day one.
Secure access, real-time tracking and complete operational visibility, from a single platform.
RFID and PIN authentication ensures only authorised personnel can access specific tools, enhancing security and accountability on every shift.
Sensor tracking with foam shadowing delivers a full transaction history: who checked out what, when, and whether it was returned.
Instant notifications when tools are not returned on time, reducing misplacement risk and supporting timely task sign-off.
Intuitive web dashboard with usage data, real-time alerts and monitoring across single or multiple service zones, accessible from any device.
Manage tool control across multiple global sites and service lines from one central platform. Scale operations without adding complexity.
Full audit trails of tool issue and return give line managers, client reps and auditors the confidence they need when signing off completed tasks.
Tool Vend units are already operational in aviation maintenance facilities, designed to withstand the demands of a working MRO environment.
Every tool is tracked from issue to return. Know instantly if something is missing before an aircraft goes back into service.
No more queuing at a central crib or searching for shared tools. Point-of-use access puts the right tool where the work happens.
Complete digital records of who used what, when and on which task. Ready for internal audits, client reviews or regulatory checks.
Designed to be affordable enough that every service line can have its own unit, not just one locked room for the entire facility.
Manage and assign tools and equipment across multiple service zones from the Tool Vend web app. Real-time insights and mission-critical automated data, when and where you need it.
Beyond tool control, Tool Vend Materials brings the same accountability to consumables and parts: fasteners, seals, adhesives, lubricants and more, dispensed securely at the point of use.
Technicians take out one item or several in a single transaction, with full visibility of names, codes, quantities and locations before confirming. Fewer transactions, more accuracy, complete confidence.
Every item is dispensed via spirals, securely held and smoothly delivered, and the machine stays available 24/7 so your materials are always within reach.
Take out one or several items under a single login. Add to cart and check out once: fast, easy and efficient.
A clear on-screen summary of every item taken, so technicians know exactly what they selected before confirming.
Easy to browse, select and check out in just a few taps, keeping every shift moving.
Controlled access ensures the right people get the right materials, with a record of every withdrawal.
24/7 availability means the consumables your team relies on are ready whenever the work happens.
All items are securely held and smoothly delivered, so parts arrive intact every time.
Group materials into categories such as fixings, lubricants and adhesives. They appear on the machine interface with image, name and description so users shortlist to just what they need.
Every top-up is logged by date, time, item and quantity. Enter the stock held in your materials room and get a real-time view of available stock that adjusts as items go into the machines.
When an item runs low, the person responsible is alerted automatically so it can be replenished before it runs out.
Just like tool control, assign each machine to a service line or area, keeping materials organised across the whole operation.
Enter your credentials at the machine.
