The advantages of data audit in the Vending market

The Vending market is increasingly interested in the audit of vending machine accounting data. The modern legislative requirements in terms of accounting are combined with the interest in knowing the amount collected and the cash movements entering and leaving the vending machine. One of the aspect that most increase vending machine’s commercial capacities is in fact a deep knowledge of their current performance because it’s from here that all the margin for improvement can be identified and exploited and, in this way, it’s also possible to approach the most consolidated experience in the retail sector.

Starting from this topic, Coges has developed payment systems able to store all the accounting data. If the payment system is set as master in the vending machine configuration, it will also be able to store the data of all the connected payment peripherals such as banknotes readers, coins recognition devices and change-giver coin mechanism connected in MDB. All of these payment systems are completed with a wide range of accessories aimed at detecting and analyzing their data. Download the accounting data and integrate them in your ERP is easier and more efficient thanks to tools such as USB pendrive, BT Data-Key and the Nebular remote connectivity solution, which is able to increase the technological level of your location and to fully satisfy all your vending needs.

The collected data not only meets your accounting needs, but they provides important information on the most sold products, on the economic performance of various vending machine, on the best sales time and on many other details that will allow you to act exactly where you feel more appropriate to improve your sales opportunities and customer service: for example by reinforcing sales at times in which there’s more request or by changing shipper’s routine to always ensure a full stock in the most popular locations.

The management of your location will also be supported by a control able to detect any malfunctions. This will guarantee an effective and rapid intervention in case of need contribuiting, at the same time, to the reduction of lost sales. The costant check of your vending machines can translate itself into a potential increase of sales and allows you to have an accurate account of your stock products.
