Managed inventory

Woodstock Smart Bin™

Scan the bin. Replenishment starts instantly. Reorder parts in 10 seconds using any phone camera — no software, no logins, no IT hassle.

How it works

Three steps, no purchase order

STEP 1

Bin runs low

Someone in stores spots that a bin is getting low or empty.

STEP 2

Scan the QR code

They scan the label with their phone camera. A page opens showing the part and quantity. One tap to confirm.

STEP 3

Stock delivered

The reorder reaches us instantly and stock is dispatched through your normal Woodstock delivery.

Why customers love it

Less admin, no stock-outs, zero cost

10-second ordering

Scan, confirm, done. Multiple bins in a single walk around the stores — reorder 30 bins in under 3 minutes.

Zero IT involvement

No apps to install, no accounts, no software on your side. Works with any phone camera your team already carries.

No stock-outs

The two-bin approach means a backup bin is always in use while the empty one is being replenished. Critical fasteners stay available.

Less admin

Orders arrive with us consolidated and ready to process. No purchase orders for routine replenishment.

Completely free

Included at no extra cost. We supply the labels, set everything up and manage the system for you.

Proven method

Two-bin Kanban is standard practice across manufacturing — we've just made the reordering part effortless.

The method

How the two-bin system works

Each part has two bins. Your team draws stock from the front bin. When it empties, they scan the label, slide the rear bin forward and carry on working — we replenish the empty bin on the next delivery. It's the proven Kanban approach used across manufacturing; we've just made the reordering part effortless.

Kitting

Fastener kits, picked to your works order

Beyond replenishment, we build fastener kits to your works order or build stage — every fixing for the job picked, bagged and labelled as one line item. Fewer picks at your bench, fewer miscounts on the line, one part number to schedule.

Kitted to works order

Send the bill of materials and we pick the complete fastener content for each works order as a single kit.

Bagged and labelled per build stage

Kits split and labelled the way your build actually progresses, so the right fixings arrive at the right station.

Scheduled call-off against your production plan

Kits delivered against your production schedule, so stock arrives when the build needs it rather than sitting in stores.

Getting started
