The Vending Corporation can guide you through the wide choice of coin mechanisms, banknote acceptors, credit or debit card readers and the multiplicity of cashless payment systems for your vending machines.

We can advise you on the best way to audit and control your vending from the simplest PIN entry method to the very latest telemetry systems.

Telemetry

What is Telemetry? Telemetry is the name given to the technology, which transfers data from an activity point to a control point. Data can be transferred by wire such as a telephone line, or by wireless systems such as a mobile phone network. For instance, the total performance of one or a fleet of vending machines (the activity point/s) can be remotely monitored by a single P.C. in an Operations Department (the control point).

Vending Telemetry Systems

The Vending Corporation, is one of the founders of success of the British Telecom telemetry system, Vendmanager and Vend On Line. We have worked closely with Vianet to provide a telemetry solution for operators of Polyvend and Dixie Narco machines.

We recognise the benefits that telemetry can bring to many of our clients. These clients include such names as, Home Style Food Courts, Image Time, Procter & Gamble and Unilever. We have worked alongside B.T. to develop and further enhance the competitive advantages that telemetry can bring to the vending industry.

The benefits of telemetry are geared to Improve Profitability & Service through Increased Control.

This improvement comes in five main areas:

	Operational Efficiency
	Service
	Accountability
	Market Trend Information
	Competitive Edge

	Filling machines only when they demand it, eliminating waste and out of stock situations, increases sales and contributes to Operational Efficiency.
	Rapid machine fault diagnosis means minimum down time, more selling time fewer complaints and an increase in the perceived quality of Service.
	Accountability is supported by a reduction in cash and stock variances, accurate auditing, increased security and the identification of all non-profitable sites.
	Market Trend Information is captured by the sales analysis of brands, location, time, site, region and machine, thus contributing to a profitable product mix at every location.

When these four points are added together we create a synergy which leads towards a Competitive Edge. Customer retention, expansion of a customer base, customer satisfaction and most of all, machines placed only in the most profitable locations.
