May 28, 2018 Efficient inventory management is one of a vending machine operator’s top concerns, especially if you have a large fleet of machines. Nayax is not just a provider of cashless payment devices, but an all-round solution provider, and has developed technology that makes vending machine inventory management easy.
Every vending machine company can benefit from using a vending management system (VMS), whether it’s for a big operation or a little one. A good VMS makes it easy to manage your routes, vending equipment, cash, and more. But with so many options, it can be difficult to choose. Here is a list of some of the more popular software systems available to help you manage your vending machine business more efficiently.
1. Parlevel
When it comes to vending management systems, Parlevel’s platform offers operators an all-in-one solution to help them better serve accounts and maximize profits. It covers everything from inventory management to cash accountability to route management. And best of all, it’s on a single, cloud-based platform.
2. Supply Wizards
The modern workplace is far different from what it used to be. The current job market is highly competitive, and employers have gotten creative (and generous) with how to attract top talent. Case in point: offering free snacks for employees. The problem, however, is the time it takes for companies to go shopping for these treats.
The solution? An online platform like Supply Wizards that connects customer orders with operators.
This platform works in two ways: it allows operators to receive orders, manage inventory, and set pricing for OCS and office provisions, and it provides an online ordering system for the customer. It’s a vending operator’s dream. No more messy email chains or handwritten orders from customers!
