Cantaloupe will be at Vendex to showcase how Vendmanager functions as the central hub that connects vending machines, Smart Stores, micro markets and card readers into one intelligent system.
Paul Shattock, EMEA Sales Director at Cantaloupe explains: ‘Vending operators are surrounded by data — transactions, inventory levels, machine performance – but data alone doesn’t drive results. Vendmanager takes that information and turns it into clear, actionable insights that help operators work smarter, reduce guesswork and run more efficient operations.
‘Vendmanager is the brain behind Cantaloupe’s self-service ecosystem. It allows operators to monitor performance, inventory and sales data in one place and that improved visibility facilitates faster, more confident decisions.’
To meet the demands of their customers, many operators have added micro markets and Smart Stores to their traditional vending offer. Managing a diverse estate can potentially be a logistical headache, but the beauty of Vendmanager is that it supports each of these services.
‘With Vendmanager as the ‘command centre’ of the business, customers have a centralised platform for managing machines, payments and inventory’, Paul said. ‘With one view that encompasses vending machines, micro markets and Smart Stores, the spectre of over-complicating the management of an estate is eliminated and the task of turning data into action points is simplified. For instance, it’s so much easier to spot underperforming machines; to optimise the product mix on offer and to eliminate unnecessary site visits. Where previously they were required to trawl through numerous reports to understand the nuances of their operations, which is a time-consuming endeavour, our customers can now use that time to concentrate on the important business of improving profitability.’
On the Cantaloupe stands at Vendex – 58, 59 and 60 – delegates will have the opportunity to see ‘real world’ examples of the advantages Vendmanager deliver. ‘We’ll be demonstrating the benefits incumbent in having card reader data flowing directly into Vendmanager, Paul said. ‘Also, visitors will be invited to see the data-driven inventory and sales tracking capabilities of Smart Stores; our exceptional Micro Market set ups and our P66 and P100 card readers. To sum up, what’s on offer from Cantaloupe at Vendex is a hands-on insight into how a single platform provides powerful controls for different trading formats.’
Time is tight at Vendex, but learning how real-time data can help you work smarter, streamline your operations and make more confident business decisions, will be time well spent…
‘We’ll have a team of industry experts ready and waiting to share their knowledge and experience and as always, I’m personally looking forward to meeting our customers and to introducing our exciting products and services to operators who are dedicated to embracing the diverse opportunities presented by a fast-moving, fluid marketplace’, Paul said ‘That’s why I’d urge delegates to make visiting Cantaloupe, on Stands 58, 59 and 60, their Number One priority at Vendex!
