What SupplyPro does
SupplyPro, Inc. is a privately held industrial inventory management company founded in 1993 and headquartered in San Diego, California, with an additional sales and training facility in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company designs and sells point-of-use inventory management hardware — including the SmartDrawer, SupplyScale (patented SecureBin weight-based sensing), SupplyBay, SupplyLocker, SupplyVend, SBD II/IV single-box dispensers, and the newly launched Smart Cabinet family (SupplyCabinet, SupplyBin, SmartBin) — combined with the cloud-hosted SupplyPro Intelligent Software (SupplySystem IS) that integrates with customers' ERP and purchasing systems. The company holds an extensive patent portfolio spanning the U.S., Canada, and 30+ European jurisdictions, and operates the UStockit shelf-tag platform for tracking inventory outside physical devices.
SupplyPro sells exclusively through a consultative, direct enterprise sales motion featuring dedicated Territory Managers, Project Managers, Solutions Delivery Specialists, Field Engineers, and Customer Support Engineers. Pricing is quote-based under multi-year contracts, with revenue derived from hardware sales (industrial-grade devices) and recurring cloud software subscriptions. The customer base spans seven verticals — industrial manufacturing (primary), aerospace, energy/utilities, government, mining/metals, rail/transit, and food/beverage — with 16,000+ installations across 40+ countries managing over 60 million SKUs. Named customers include Mercedes-Benz, Mosaic, and Northern Safety & Industrial, and the company claims up to 30% savings on indirect material spending and 20–30% (often >50%) reductions in indirect material consumption. The wholly owned subsidiary uStockit, LLC houses the shelf-tag product line.
SupplyPro is a bootstrapped, closely held California corporation with no disclosed external private equity or venture capital backing and no recent large funding rounds; the last disclosed financing was approximately $2.5M in March 2019, following a $28M round in 2000 led by JP Morgan Chase. The company maintains GDPR compliance and CSA Star Level 1 certification through the U.S. Data Privacy Framework, supporting enterprise and multinational customers. Leadership comprises CEO Floyd Miller, CTO Mike Reynolds, and CRO Stan Sigman, with Justin Dass appointed VP of Business Development in April 2017.

SupplyPro competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Grainger: Grainger is the largest U.S. broad-line MRO distributor with its own KeepStock vending and on-site inventory management programs; it overlaps with SupplyPro's industrial customer base and competes for the same indirect material budget.
- MSC Industrial: MSC Industrial Direct is one of the largest U.S. metalworking and MRO distributors with growing vending and on-site inventory solutions; it competes with SupplyPro both as a distributor of supplies and as a provider of point-of-use inventory automation.
- Fastenal: Fastenal operates the largest industrial vending footprint in North America as part of its broader fastener and MRO supplies business; its FMI (Fastenal Managed Inventory) and vending systems target the same indirect material spend pool as SupplyPro.
Direct peers
- AutoCrib: AutoCrib is the closest direct competitor in North American industrial vending and point-of-use inventory management, offering weight-based bins, lockers, and asset management solutions to the same industrial manufacturer and aerospace customer base.
- Apex Industrial Solutions: Apex Industrial Solutions provides automated inventory management and vending systems for industrial and manufacturing customers, competing head-to-head with SupplyPro on tool crib and MRO dispensing.
- SupplyPoint: SupplyPoint is an international peer offering automated point-of-use storage and inventory management systems for MRO and indirect materials, directly overlapping with SupplyPro's core industrial vending use case across Europe and beyond.
- CribMaster (DXP Enterprises): CribMaster, now part of DXP Enterprises, sells industrial vending machines, RFID cabinets, and cloud inventory software directly comparable to SupplyPro's SupplySystem, SmartDrawer, and SupplyVend product lines.
- Industrial Vending Specialists (IVS): IVS provides industrial vending machines and inventory management solutions for MRO, tool, and consumable control, addressing the same pain points (consumption visibility, stockouts, accountability) that SupplyPro targets.
- Kanban Supply Chain Solutions: Kanban focuses on industrial vending, weight-based dispensing, and RFID-enabled cabinets for tool crib and MRO management, directly comparable to SupplyPro's SecureBin-based cabinets and SBD dispensers.
Emerging players
- Ivanti: Ivanti (via Wavelink) offers mobile supply chain and inventory workflow software used in warehouses, hospitals, and industrial environments; it competes with the software side of SupplyPro's Intelligent Software stack, especially for mobile and RFID-driven workflows.
