TOOL INVENTORY & VENDOR MANAGEMENT
CONTROL YOUR TOOLING.
CONTROL YOUR COSTS.
E.M. Precise Tool's Vendor Management solutions give manufacturers greater control over tooling inventory, usage and purchasing — putting the right tools where they're needed while providing the data to understand where they're going.

TAKE CONTROL OF
YOUR TOOLING INVENTORY
Tooling shouldn't disappear into a crib, sit overstocked on a shelf or bring production to a stop when inventory runs out.
E.M. Precise Tool combines MATRIX tool management technology, inventory control and local support to help manufacturers manage cutting tools and shop supplies at the point of use.
Automated tracking and reporting provide visibility into consumption, inventory levels and tooling costs—helping purchasing, production and management make better decisions with real usage data.

levels and improve availability
for frequently used cutting tools, inserts, holders and shop supplies.
TRACK TOOL USAGE
Gain visibility into who is using
tooling, what is being consumed
and where inventory is going.
STREAMLINE PURCHASING
Reduce manual inventory checks
and simplify replenishment with
accurate usage and stock-level
information.
UNDERSTAND TOOLING COSTS
Use reporting and job-costing data
to indenitify consumption trends,
control tooling spend and support
better purchasing decisions.

MATRIX TOOL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
From compact point-of-use storage to high-capacity tool management, MATRIX systems provide flexible options for controlling cutting tools and industrial supplies across the shop floor.
MATRIX software manages cabinet operation, user access, inventory and reporting. Systems can operate independently or be connected to create a larger tooling management network as your requirements grow.



FLEXIBLE STORAGE
FOR BIGGER TOOLING.
An economical, flexible drawer system with eight electronically controlled drawers and configurable partitions for tooling that doesn't fit conventional vending compartments.
Ideal for: cutters, drills, holders, solid carbide tools, long and large-diameter tooling, gauges, measuring equipment, fixtures, accessories and industrial supplies.
HIGH CAPACITY.
CONTROLLED ACCESS.
A high-capacity automated tool management system with a compact footprint. Electronically controlled drawers and bins provide secure storage and controlled access for a wide range of tooling and shop supplies.
Ideal for: cutters, drills, inserts, holders, blades, solid carbide tools, gauges, measuring equipment and industrial consumables.
COMPACT CONTROL
AT THE POINT OF USE.
A compact automated tool dispenser designed for workbenches, MATRIX trolleys and other point-of-use applications where floor space is limited.
Electronically controlled drawers and bins keep frequently used tooling secure, organized and accessible where it's needed.
Ideal for: cutters, drills, holders, inserts, solid carbide tools and gauges.
WHAT CAN YOU MANAGE?
BUILT AROUND YOUR SHOP
There isn't one inventory setup that works for every machine shop.
E.M. Precise Tool works with your team to understand what you're using, where you're using it and how your tooling moves through the operation. From there, we can help configure a Vendor Management solution around your inventory, production requirements and workflow.
Whether you need controlled access to high-volume cutting tools, better visibility into tooling consumption or a more efficient way to manage shop-floor inventory, the objective stays the same:
Right tool. Right place. Right when production needs it.
THE DATA BEHIND
THE TOOLING
Tool management isn't just about storing tools. It's about understanding how they're being used.
MATRIX reporting provides visibility into inventory movement and tooling consumption, helping manufacturers identify usage patterns, manage stock levels, support job costing and make more informed purchasing decisions.
