We are delighted to announce that we have been honoured with the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise in the category of Innovation.
This national accolade recognises the company’s sustained commitment to innovation through its development of TwinBin Live, a cutting-edge inventory management system.
Learn how our simple yet effective TwinBins revolutionise inventory management with real-time stock visibility, reducing stock-outs and boosting productivity.
This is a “two-bin” system that works by storing reserve stock above active stock.
- Once the active stock is used you simply pull the slider to release the reserve batch into the lower bin.
- A flag is automatically released to indicate the upper chamber should now be restocked.
- When scanned the flag can be set to indicate stock has been re-ordered.

Martin’s Point Health Care, USA
Why we reached out to TwinBin.
As the Manager of Supply Chain for a mid-sized primary care practice I was responsible for the restocking of medical supplies and medications across multiple clinics. Our supply rooms initially held between 200 and 300 SKU’s. We had two major buckets of issues: Labour inefficiencies & supply room layouts. Our disparate locations of clinics and a manual re-ordering process caused significant wasted time performing inventories, re-ordering and re-stocking products.
Limited supply room size, high SKU counts and non-standard product locations resulted in over/under stocking & frequent product relocation.
Find out how TwinBin supported Martin’s Point Health Care and helped them find inventive, practical solutions.
Airbus Case Study
We supplied the TwinBin system to Airbus at Broughton, in North Wales, for the A380 wing production.
The cost was £10,000 but resulted in savings of £60,000 after only 5 months.
Lean tools such as 5C, KanBan, “Plan Do Check Act” (PDCA) and problem solving were used in order to ensure that a methodical, structured approach was used and that improvements were sustainable. Racking systems, which contain all the bolts, required for a particular operation, are now in place, right where they are needed, close by the working areas bringing tremendous benefits to the business, saving thousands of pounds in wasted AGS and making jobs overall more efficient.
