Talk to an ExpertManage Inventory Across Unlimited Locations Add every employee, contractor, and shift to the system without a user cap, so the record covers everyone who touches your PPE.
Improve Equipment Accountability Manage employee access to safety equipment and PPE based on what they need to get the job done.
Reduce Waste from Expired Inventory Dated stock such as respirator cartridges, filters, and first aid supplies is flagged before expiration so expired PPE gets rotated out instead of being caught during an audit.
Transaction Logs with Alerts Every issue and return is logged with the item, the employee, and the timestamp so the right people are notified when action is needed.
Vehicle Management and Checklists Assign stock to service trucks and field vehicles and verify it against a checklist, so a crew leaves stocked and comes back with all equipment accounted for.
Unlimited Backroom Management Track as many storerooms, cages, staging areas, and satellite locations as your operation runs. The backstock behind your machines becomes part of the same count rather than a separate spreadsheet.
Unlimited Asset Management Durable equipment gets tracked alongside consumables so decisions can be made from one unified system.

Use one connected inventory management system wherever your PPE, safety equipment, and assets live.
Our iQ technology is what makes an IDS machine intelligent, and Virtual Tracker puts that same intelligence to work across the rest of your inventory.
It is the iQ Technology inventory management software that runs IDS dispensing hardware, packaged with barcode scanners so it can track inventory that isn't inside a machine. Employees scan items as they take and return them, and stock counts, usage history, and reorder points update in the same system your dispensers report into.
Virtual Tracker helps track inventory that doesn't fit inside a vending machine or locker, extending inventory control beyond hardware to areas such as:
They run on the same platform. A machine records the transactions it dispenses while Virtual Tracker records the transactions that happen at a shelf, a pallet, a cage, or a truck. Both land in one iQ Technology record, so a usage report covers the whole facility instead of one cabinet, and reordering reflects total consumption across your organization.
The software is equipped to track any equipment you can label, including gloves, safety glasses, earplugs, respirators, face shields, hard hats, blades, batteries, fasteners, hand tools, gas detectors, calibrated instruments, and consumables of nearly every description. Scanners read 1D and 2D codes, printed or displayed on a screen, so you aren't limited to one label format.
iQ Technology is cloud-based and interfaces with existing purchasing platforms and badge infrastructure, and IDS customizes the software to fit specific requirements. An IDS expert can help you explore the best way to create a comprehensive system across your floor.
Most implementations are quick and cause minimal disruption to your operations. After an initial consultation to scope your inventory, locations, and labeling, IDS handles setup, configuration, and employee training. If you already run IDS machines, your product catalog and employee records are already in the system. Timelines vary depending on your specific solution, but your rep will provide a clear schedule to keep you informed.
