A dispensing system includes a collapsible container for liquid material, such as soap, with an outlet for withdrawal of liquid material during collapse thereof. The dispensing system includes a support structure configured for wall attachment of the dispensing system. The support structure further includes at least one movable follower biased towards a collapsing part of the collapsible container, and a detector for reading the position of the movable follower. Detectable substance can be added to the movable follower or the collapsible container. The detector can actuate an alert indicator for indicating a low level of liquid in the collapsible container.
