Vending Business And Location Based Data Transmission

In spite of being equipped with a data capture device, the decision about the method of transmission for your Planet Antares vending machines is based on the characteristics and needs of the location.

Online data delivery can definitely help in increasing the profitability of transient locations with fluctuating sales and locations that involve long travel times. Handheld data delivery can work well for business and industry locations with stable and predictable work forces. However, if these locations work occassional second shifts or weekends, with a fluctuating work force, the wireless transmisison may be indicated.

Basically, data transmission aims to capture and report the quantity of sales, by individual brands, in each Planet Antares vending machine, without the route operator having to manually count the product placements by brand.

If you are equipped with this brand preference data for your Planet Antares operations, you can perform the same function that a merchandiser manager performs at a supermarket. This implies removal of low performing products and placing high quality, fast selling products in their place. Space to sales analysis techniques are used to determine the product mix.

To enable the products to sell at uniform rates, you need to allocate double or triple columns in your Planet Antares vending machines for the top selling brands. As a result, you will ensure higher sales and longer intervals between servicing of the accounts.

As the system knows the brands and the sales level in every vending machine, it can estimate what the route operator should get from his truck. Unneccessary double trips to each machine would then be eliminated.
