KBC Tools & Machinery releases mobile app

KBC Tools & Machinery has introduced the KBC app, available for download for both Apple and Android mobile devices.

The app was designed to help manufacturers standardize product purchases by allowing them to create templates of commonly bought products for fast ordering. The company also can create a template specific to a client’s needs for simplified reordering.

A mobile device can be used to scan RFID codes as well as KBC and manufacturer barcodes to order by scanning the product and adding the quantity. This eliminates the need to enter part numbers or manually search for the correct product.

Also, the company can create barcode labels for clients’ toolroom locations, bins, and tool carts for ease of identification; specified storage locations; and quick replenishment of critical MRO supplies.

“This was the natural progression from a mobile-enhanced website. With so many machinists, tool and die makers, and MRO professionals needing quick turnaround for their tooling needs, putting the power of the internet at their immediate disposal where they work with a KBC Tools’ app improves the speed of keeping North America working one tool at a time,” said Charlie Yankee, senior manager, marketing.
