Abstract

The present invention relates to a goods/services requisition and supply system for providing goods/services items on site. A vending device is connected to a user's computer system, for example their local area network. Ordering software is also resident on the computer system and accessible by a user to order items available at the vending device. Orders are also transmitted via a network connection to a remote supplier. The vending device may employ the computer power of the local area network for control.
