Vendwest are now able to offer a complete Remote Monitoring System (RMS) for most brands of vending machine.
The exciting RMS is transforming the way Vending Operators run their businesses.
Just imagine the benefits that would accrue to your vending operation if you knew exactly how many stock items each and every one of your machines was holding at any point in time by simply logging onto a website in the comfort of your home or office.
This also means that you will know instantly if any of your machines have run out of any particular product or have not been used for a period of time which most likely indicates a coin jam.
The RMS will also tell you the current status of your coin mechanism which means that running out of change is now something that only happens to other operators.
Instead of guessing which products you require for your daily vending run you can now take exactly the right number of each product with you every day and return with an empty van.
The RMS will print a pick slip for every machine on demand and all you have to do is load each item into a bin and then load the bin for each machine into your vehicle.
When you arrive at site you simply unload the contents of each stock bin into the machine and return the empty bin to the van.
The RMS also boasts a sophisticated "back end" software system that collects and reports on every aspect of your business.
It will provide a sales history for every product in every machine allowing the operator to easily fine tune machine stock to suit a particular site.
Log on and watch your daily sales climb across all of your machines or just monitor and individual machine at the touch of a button.
The RMS will also tell you what your profit margin is at any pint in time for any machine .
Any cost benefit analysis conducted on the Vendwest RMS will prove beyond doubt that the relatively small cost of buying an RMS board for a machine will be recouped several times over during the year in fuel savings, time savings and out of stock costs.
It will also allow you to operate more machines given that you can now time your machine visits exactly to match the sales of each machine.
The RMS consists of a "plug and play" electronic signal board that is simply plugged into the coin mech/note reader system in about 15 minutes. It also comes with an antennae that is positioned on the roof of the machine which will constantly send information over the mobile phone network.
Fitment of the boards can be done by someone with almost no training and it can be done quickly and easily in the field.
