Televend
After visiting the major international vending shows and searching for an easy-to-use competitively priced real-time telemetry device for the local vending industry, we were most impressed by Televend and all they had to offer.
The Televend device takes the guesswork out of many of the issues that plague the old manually-driven vending operation still being used in our industry today. The most notable features of this stand-out device are:
Downtime monitoring and machine error detection
Real-time sales monitoring with predictions based on past sales to ensure route profitability
Better insight on top and bottom performing products, especially as the seasons change to ensure you’re stocking products that are in demand by your users, for example Cup Of Soup in the chilly winter months
Dynamic and cost-effective routing gives your staff insight into what stock they require before they step foot onto the site, effectively turning your vehicle into a moving warehouse with real-time insight into the stock levels in the machines
Not only that, fitted with an access card reader, Televend has the functionality of a closed loop system. This means that staff can be extended a monthly budget to make purchases from the vending machine. Their access cards are swiped on the machine to facilitate the purchases, and the total amount spent is deducted by the payroll department monthly. There’s a loyalty feature that is customizable, and a bonus purchase can be awarded to celebrate birthdays, as an example.
