Travelers

An employee arrives at an office that is not their home office and is in need of IT peripherals to accomplish their work. Examples might be a laptop power supply or security dongle. An on-demand traveling employee vending machine would allow the user to procure the item quickly.

"Our vending machines are great and perform like they’re brand new. IDS is the perfect solution and working with them is a very positive experience. We evaluated other suppliers, and IDS had the best technological solution. The machines are embraced by the team and popular in the office."
Daniel Bolens, Desktop Services Specialist – JAMF Software
Onslow county EMS
"The report tells me what I need to know, how many are expiring, where they are located and the name of the medication. I really like that I can run the report for 90 or more days because I order replacement medications 3-4 months in advance, plus my regular stock… so I know I won’t run out. Now instead of having to do a count by hand at the end of the month or so I check them in when I receive them and simply run the reports I need."
Capt Beth Hines - Onslow County EMS
Pasco County Schools
"The integration of IDS’ iQ Technology software with our existing point-of-sale (POS) system drives the success of our 300 machine healthy vending program. Plus, the software’s real-time reporting and alerts allows us to manage the program efficiently and effectively. In the 2016-17 school year alone over $1.2M of revenue was generated by the machines."
Julie Hedine, Pasco County School District
Kyle Williams
"IDS vending machines have truly transformed our organization. I used to be inundated with requests for IT peripherals and other office supplies, but since implementing the vending machines these requests have dropped to almost none. Plus, employees love that they can access all the supplies they need 24/7 without waiting for assistance from the IT staff and now the IT team spends much less time setting up things. Our breakeven occurred after only five months - the ROI is amazing!"

"The cost reduction we realized once we had implemented IDS’ UCapIt solution is a big benefit to us. We spend less time doing the manual count and the paperwork to keep track of the physical inventory. Plus, we receive notifications from the web service that allow us to track all of our equipment, certifications and product in real-time. With IDS’ UCapIt, we were able to reduce inventory time and save money. IDS’ UCapIt system is extremely easy to use and manage. I would recommend the system to other agencies that are looking to reduce costs and efficiently increase their inventory tracking capabilities."
