A dispensing system includes a container, a holder, and a signal processing module. The container includes a body configured to store a liquid and a conductive strip coupled to an outer surface of the body. The holder is configured to receive the container. The holder includes an electrical contact configured to contact the conductive strip when the container is received in the holder. The signal processing module is in electrical communication with the electrical contact. The signal processing module is configured to receive signals from the electrical contact to determine a level of liquid within the container body based on the signals when the container is received in the holder.

A commodity dispenser system includes a terminal dispenser device with a container configured to contain a commodity. The terminal dispenser device includes a user-controlled dispenser for selectively dispensing the commodity from the container. The terminal dispenser device includes a sensor and a communication device, and the sensor is configured to detect an inventory condition of the commodity within the container. The system further includes a server configured to communicate with the communication device of the terminal dispenser device, receive a communication corresponding to the inventory condition detected, and initiate an order for a replenishing shipment of the commodity to the dispenser device based, at least partly, on the communication corresponding to the inventory condition detected.
