VendSmart Connect

Telemetry-led replenishment

Traditional vending routes often rely on fixed replenishment schedules. Connected VendSmart machines can provide our teams with live information about stock levels and machine performance. This allows us to plan visits around what machines actually need. This can allow our Customer Care Team to receive machine alerts and arrange support without relying solely on somebody onsite noticing and reporting the problem. Connected servicing can help with:

  • Faster fault identification

    Monitor machine faults and machine status in real time

  • Remote diagnostics

    Reduced downtime and emergency engineer call-outs

  • Better engineer preparation

    Access accurate data that improves decision-making

  • Reduced downtime

    Faults can be updated and checked remotely

  • More efficient engineer visits

    Fewer unnecessary call-outs, reducing our environmental impact.
