The needs of vending machine operators have changed over time.

Once it was necessary just to know if a machine was profitable or not. Then came cost reductions through bulk purchasing of products. Now the emphasis has shifted to also include maximization of income through smart product placement.

‘Smart’ operators base their product placement analysis on ‘gut feeling’, but ’smarter’ operators let Vendomation analyze how the lanes have been performing and let it make the recommendations.

The Vendomation Remote Monitoring system is the ultimate way of managing your vending machines, but if you are unable to take advantage of these facilities we can also proudly offer you the Vendomation Handheld Solution.

Both data transmission systems can of course be used in conjunction with each other.

With accurate sales figures by Sku (stock keeping units) and by lane, you can optimize product placement within the machine and also decide on a daily basis when to visit each machine. You might find that having the same product in 3 lanes means you need to visit the machine only once a week instead of twice – the savings can be considerable!

Need to know if the driver was playing golf instead of working? We can’t tell you that (or his handicap) but we can tell you when each machine was serviced – and lots of other data that Business Analysts dream of.
