Why should you keep your vending machines from going empty?

Once you install Planet Antares vending machines, make sure that your vending machines never go empty. An empty vending machine can cost you the following:

• An empty vending machine will not make you much money. People will not just walk upto your machine and put money in it if there is nothing in it.
• Businesses are more likely to kick you out of an account if they think that you are doing a bad job of servicing the vending machines.
• An empty vending machine reflects bad reputation
• If it is a busy location, your competitors will take it as a permission to place their machines.
• Potential customers who see an empty machine are more likely to assume that the vending machine has not been serviced for long
• Empty vending machines are more susceptible to vandalism and theft. Thieves assume that empty vending machines has lots of cash in them

Make a proper schedule of refilling the vending machines. Planet Antares Windows Vending Software automatically calculates inventory levels and notifies you when its time to purchase additional inventory. Tracking the complete purchase history for each product in addition to specific products in certain machines on specific locations can also be done easily through vending software.

Always stock your vending machine with branded products and offer what the consumers want from your machine. In a multi selection machine if one of your selections sells faster than others, you can place more stock by putting in it two of the slots. Losing sales implies business failure. Planet Antares support staff guides you how to keep the machines filled all the time and which factors to be considered while stocking your vending machine. After all, a successful vending business is what you want after investing your hard earned money into it.
