Inventor-e has seen a recent surge in volumes which has resulted in an exciting new contract that could be a game-changer for this innovative business – Inventor-e.
This would not have been possible without a strategic manufacturing partner in place to support the ramp-up – PP Control & Automation (PP C&A).
Inventor-e’s unique selling point is our ability to innovate industrial vending systems. After significant discussions, our team decided to identify a strategic manufacturing partner to aid in these efforts. We put our focus on a partnership that could manage the build of the systems and, most importantly, give it the ability to scale up quickly.
The initial meeting with PP C&A originally took place back in 2013. However, it wasn’t until 2019 that the timing was ‘perfect’ to explore working with them as a strategic manufacturing partner. Our partnership led to the innovation of our industrial vending machines: SmartStores Secure. SmartStores Secure is an access-controlled cabinet that uses the SmartStores app to access, issue, return, and restock products. It functions as a digitally smart inventory management system.
The operational teams at both companies, a manufacturing cell was created at PP C&A’s facility to build the initial. The build process allowed engineers from both companies to work together to explore areas for potential design improvements. All built to current design and with new supply chain opportunities that could be created through a collaborative supplier network and shipped at the end of last year.
