Monday morning: you insert the exact amount of change into the coffee machine and wait for your cup of black coffee. The cup shows up, but it is empty because the machine is out of coffee. Last week it was out of sugar. This week you are out of luck. The average vending machine is out of order for more than seven days a year. This can add up to a substantial loss in revenue and a lot of unhappy customers.
This scenario can be avoided, says wireless technology company, Wavecom. The company has the answer that will allow vending machine operators to forget all their common hassles - depleted stocks, maintenance problems, juggling stocking schedules and vandalism. Wavecom offers wireless solutions for vending that help make sure one's machines work at their most efficient levels.
With Wavecom wireless modules, vendors can always be in touch with their machines. For example: one will know the precise moment a machine breaks down or is out of stock; be able to get statistics on what customers buy and when they buy it; and machines can be protected from vandalism with a wireless remote alarm system.
While integrating all the above functions, Wavecom says that its solutions still remain easy-to-use and integration is a simple process.
Wavecom's unique machine-to-machine platforms allow customers wireless access solutions for vending machines that are tailored to the clients' needs, integration skills and capability. A full range of support services is also available from Wavecom that guides users every step of the way. Once wireless-enabled machines are up and running, users can benefit from quality service to end customers, thanks to SMS, data and even Web access solutions through the chosen network connection.
Whether the chosen solution is a compact WISMO Quick, Integra or Fastrack modem to empower machines with wireless capability, innovative ideas such as mobile payment and interactive screens for ease of interface can be implemented.
