As the leading provider of self-serve automation solutions, Apex Supply Chain Technologies helps some of the biggest brands in the world increase productivity while reducing costs.
Since 2006, our technology has helped companies disrupt their operations, finding significant productivity increases and cost savings in basic, well-established processes. The impact of automated dispensing solutions has been so well-received, retail and food companies are now using this technology in the front of house to meet the consumers’ ever-changing needs.
In addition to retail and food applications, Apex devices are deployed in a variety of applications, including corporate office environments, handheld asset management, automated replenishment and industrial vending.
Our devices track billions of transactions and, thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), communicate this data in real-time to our cloud-based data platform, the Apex Trajectory Cloud. This makes it easier for Apex to quickly integrate with a company’s legacy systems and make its solutions a seamless part of its operations.
With world headquarters in Mason, Ohio, Apex has offices in Australia, Germany, Poland, the UK and Latin America.
Our founder and CEO, Kent Savage, is widely viewed as the founder of the industrial vending industry. In fact, April 27, 1993, the day United States patent 5,205,436 was granted to Savage for his “Machine Tool Dispensing Device and System,” is considered the industry’s inception. Savage applied for this, the first related patent, in 1991.
