Manual checks feel responsible. Across a large fleet, they become expensive.⛔

Every unnecessary call, dashboard check or site visit takes time away from machines that actually need attention.

Operators should organise work by exception:

❗ Which machines stopped selling?
❗Which are close to running out?
❗Which reported a fault?
❗Which require cash collection?
❗Which are operating normally and need no action?

The objective is not to check every machine more often.
It is to know which machines do not need checking at all.

The cash is short. Can you prove where the difference happened?

In vending, a discrepancy is rarely solved by looking at the final total alone.

Operators need a clear record of:

❓ what the machine reported before collection;
❓ when the cash was removed;
❓ who collected it;
❓ which collection bag was used;
❓ how much was counted at the depot;
❓ and whether any change was added or removed during service.

This does not eliminate every manual step. Someone still has to collect and count the money.
But it turns one unexplained monthly difference into a specific machine, collection and handover that can be checked.

Cash handling may remain physical. The audit trail should not depend on memory, notes or guesswork.

Bring cash data and machine connectivity into one system. See how Coges supports it https://bit.ly/4ct2B0B

Have you ever saved money on a card reader, then lost it on the first callout?

✅ It works during testing.
⛔ Then it goes into a basement, factory or remote site, payments slow down, and nobody notices until sales drop.

Before choosing a reader, ask:

Will we know when it goes offline?
Can it recover without a visit?
Can failed payments be checked remotely?
Does it work in the real location?

The invoice price matters.
So do every kilometre driven and every customer who could not pay.

The machine did not sell today. Why? And is your team aware?

A zero-sales day is not a diagnosis.
The machine may be empty, offline or unable to accept payments. A fault may be blocking purchases. The location may be closed. Or demand may genuinely be lower.

In a basic sales report, every one of these situations looks the same: nothing sold.

A daily check in Vendon Cloud can help separate them:
✅ Identify machines with no sales
✅ Check connectivity and technical status
✅ Review recent faults and alerts
✅ Confirm whether payments are available
✅ Check stock information
✅ Decide whether someone needs to act

Vendon Cloud will not explain every quiet day. But it will rule out operational problems before low demand becomes the default conclusion.

Telemetry is often used to manage today’s fleet. Its greater value may be helping decide what the fleet should look like tomorrow.

Machine data can show:
✔️ which locations justify a larger or better-equipped machine;
✔️ where cashless demand supports a payment upgrade;
✔️ which machines cost too much to maintain;
✔️ where repeated stockouts indicate unmet demand;
✔️ which locations should be relocated rather than serviced more often.

If you have invested, make sure to use data to decide where to replace, upgrade, expand—or stop investing.

For Managing Director Michael Geile, the decision comes down to how the cooperation works in practice: "Coges is a company that listens and delivers."

Following a one-year test phase, the operator from Westerkappeln – Geile Warenautomaten GmbH – is now installing Q-Pay public-cashless terminals in the four-digit range across its network.

The rollout goes hand in hand with the Vendon Cloud: connected to Vendon telemetry, all machine and payment data flows together in one platform – from sales monitoring to route management.

At the same time, Geile has moved its entire closed-loop business to Coges My-Key and will field-test the new Hexis LP coin changer at larger scale – a product developed with direct input from the Geile team for the German market.

Our thanks go to the whole Geile Warenautomaten GmbH team, to Günter Maas and Thomas Rydval on the Vendon/Coges side, and to ENGELTEC GmbH & Co. KG for supporting the rollout from the start.

Products that sit too long tie up cash, increase expiry risk and take space from items that sell faster.

At the same time, filling every machine equally ignores how demand changes by location, weekday and season.

Operators should base refill quantities on:
👌 actual sales by product and machine;
👌stock remaining at the time of the visit;
👌expected demand until the next refill;
👌shelf life and expiry risk;
👌the minimum quantity worth carrying.

The goal is not to leave every spiral full.
It is to carry enough stock to meet demand – without paying for products to wait inside the machine.

Some locations don't need flashy readers. They need a payment system that blends in, works every time, and reports back quietly. 😉

A machine with weak connectivity, slow authorisation or repeated reader errors may look like a poor location. In reality, customers are trying to buy and being stopped at the last step.

Operators should track:

📢 failed attempts by machine and location;
📢 repeated errors within the same time period;
📢 reader uptime and recovery time;
📢 sales before, during and after payment incidents.

One failed tap may be random. A recurring pattern is lost revenue. And it should be treated with the same urgency as an empty machine.

Do not blame the location until you have ruled out the payment system.
