Planning your routes by pure luck can make you lose up to 120 EUR per visit
Unnecessary vending and coffee machine visits significantly increase the costs of logistics operations.
Operators can save up to 40% on routing costs by planning trips beforehand and visiting only those machines that require filling or repair.

Main features of the route planning and pre-kitting solution
Accountability
Since all completed actions for each vending or coffee machine must be registered, our solution allows operators to track progress in the system.
Scheduled picklist update
Update the stock values just before picking, thus minimizing the difference between products picked and products missing in the machine.
Tasklist
Add additional miscellaneous tasks to each machine, such as washing the window, disinfecting the buttons, replacing products, writing down the counters, or anything else that is needed, to ensure that each machine is fully serviced in one trip and doesn't require any additional visits.
Pre-kitting
For simpler warehouse navigation we’ve made pack lists that also include the location of each stock item in the warehouse, defined by the operator. This speeds up the picking process and eliminates situations where employees don’t know the way around the warehouse and spend a lot of time locating items that are on the pack list.
Service routes
Make standalone routes to plan maintenance visits easily. Be it a quarterly checkup, clean-up before the holiday season closures, or an emergency visit — every task can be mapped to machines independently of the refills or cash collections. This ensures no tasks are forgotten, and all information is stored electronically.
Location sequence change
Change the sequence of location visits using the drag-and-drop functionality to create an ordered list of locations that match the situation. All changes are synced with the mobile app in real time, so the employees doing the rounds always have access to the latest information.
Inventory changes
Make any product adjustments and provide the reason for changes — whenever a product quantity is updated outside of a regular refill (by automatic or picklist values), any user can see the reason for the change. This information can be used to analyze the most frequent culprits, and improve business processes.
Mobile app support
Vendon Mobile offers full route management support — from picklists and coin changer refill values to additional tasks and navigation. All actions can be confirmed on the app, which is instantly synchronized with the Cloud solution. That way, the need for paper printouts and manual system updates is kept at a minimum, and route accuracy is improved.
