I love capitalism.
I just did a quote for a massive construction company.
As I walked through their offices, I found a huge room of blue Fastenal vending machines. They were filled with tools, drill bits, blades, hardhats, etc.
Each one had a price on the window. Intrigued, I asked the owner what is the story on these.
He mentioned to me that Fastenal comes in and stocks up all the different types of tools and PPE this specific construction company needs.
Everything is priced way above Home Depot or Lowe’s prices.
The construction company only pays for the tools or items whenever somebody actually “buys” them vs stocking 200 hard hats at once or keeping inventory of miscellaneous tools.
This saves the company countless hours of labor since the employee doesn’t have to go to Home Depot or Lowe’s aka travel time, walking around the store, and scrolling on Instagram in the parking lot.
Less time shopping for tools = more time working and charging the customer.
Owner said no matter how much they spend on the parts in these machines, they save ten fold on labor.
Of course the machine also automatically tracks when inventory is low and a guy comes out to fill it back up.
Fucking genius.
Only in America!
