Optimizing Food and Beverage Vending Operations with VMS

Problems

A2B, a leading sweets and snacks brand, struggled with frequent stockouts in their vending machines due to high sales volumes.

The team relied on manual checks for refilling, which took significant time and increased costs.

Stock shortages between inspections caused up to 20% revenue loss from empty machines and dissatisfied customers.

Struggles

Products sold out faster than the team could replenish them due to fixed inspection schedules.

On average, machines were empty for 10-12 hours per week, directly affecting sales.

Manual checks across all machines increased operational costs by 25%, consuming valuable resources.

Solutions

The Vending Machine Management Solution addressed these challenges by providing:

Real-Time Stock Alerts: Notifications when stock was low or products sold out, ensuring timely refills.

Remote Monitoring: Teams could track product availability across all machines in real-time via a centralized dashboard.

Data Insights: Automated reports helped optimize refilling schedules and reduce unnecessary visits.

Approach

The solution was implemented across all machines, integrating seamlessly with A2B’s operations.

Staff were trained to use the dashboard for real-time stock monitoring and setting up alerts.

Customized refill schedules were created based on demand data, minimizing stockouts and downtime.
