If that existed in Europe that would be perfect for us.

Thanks again for all the replies. The RFID-system for the vending machine goes a bit over my head also we're kind of looking for a solution that is already established in similar industries. We ourselves are only a small company that is contracted by a bigger company, but I don't think we would use their ERP.

Thank you for the info. Do you know the name of the company in UK?

It took me a bit too long to realize the problem with having porcelain in a vending machine

I think developing an Amazon-grade solution might be a bit out of budget, but great suggestions so far, thank you everyone. One of the challenges would also be to find human resources for refilling on location, so if there is an established industry doing this for airports (notoriously high security facilities) we could avoid having to hire people ourselves.

That's interesting. I'll try to find more info on the airport company through Google. Do you remember the airport you were at?

Hi All, I work for an IT solutions provider in Europe and we were asked to come up with a concept of providing employees with IT supplies (anything from mouse to laptop) without having to go through a complete order process with sending every order in separate packages, which could all in all take up to multiple weeks (including internal approval processes). What the company would like, is for the employee to go to a computer screen, choose what equipment they want, pay with their company "credit card" and leave with a new headset. So the challenge for us is to hold a stock of inventory on location at the companies offices (all over Europe) without having our own employees there, that could control the inventory or the transactions. We found online that some institutions have laptop vending machines, which sounds interesting. We also thought of cages that can only be unlocked after paying or maybe security cameras for safety. Has anyone of the LTT-community ever heard of such a solution? Have you personally worked with a company providing such services (maybe even with a complete payment system and maybe even within Europe)? Or do you have a different completely outlandish idea (or joke to keep our morale up o(^▽^)o)? Thank you to anyone for taking the time to read this. Have a nice day.
