Management of Information & Reports
We have invested heavily in a management information system that enables us to report machine-by-machine at a very detailed level. This has helped our business to increase productivity, further cut delivery costs, cut paperwork, and reduce losses, improve operations, and increase customer satisfaction.
Our management information system gives us the ability to make sure our route fillers only visit those sites that require a fill. It uses sales data and graphical reporting to create targeted merchandising based on the best-selling products, locations and price points.
Route Planning
Accurate route planning is an essential ingredient needed in any distribution company, as it:
- Ensures that all products are on sale at all times
- Ensures customer satisfaction by building confidence and reliability
- Optimises delivery times, call frequencies and quantity of calls, size of deliveries and overall volume
- Allows maximum profits from our use of resources.
- Ensures accurate regular information on individual product sales, which in turn allows for accurate planogram.
Some accounts require daily deliveries and others weekly and monthly. Weather conditions also play a part in sales i.e. in hot weather we sell more drinks.
Hygiene
We believe that hygiene and a clean appearance play a vital role in the performance of our machines and our reputation in the market.
At each visit, the route filler will wipe down any dirt that may have accumulated on the machines since the last visit. Before leaving your site the route filler will collect all packaging created (generated from filling the machine) and return all waste to our depot for recycling.
In addition to that on public sites and areas where the machines are likely to accumulate a lot of dirt the machines will be cleaned and refurbished by a service engineer on a monthly basis.
Accountability & Clarity
BDS Vending Solutions have invested heavily in a management information system that enables us to report machine by machine in real time at a very detailed level. This has helped our business to increase productivity, cut delivery costs, cut paperwork, reduce losses, improve operations and drive efficiency to reduce any down time due to low stock.
All our Vending sales information is processed through remote handheld computers, which enables us to give 100% real time accurate information on our vending base.
Commission and Sales by product sold through your machine is provided on a bi -annual basis to insure accurate commission payments.
At any stage if you require a sales summary on how your machine is operating just e-mail your request to info@vending.ie and a report will be mailed back to you.
