Data Analytics in Bolstering Your Vending Business in Pakistan

The world was already headed in the direction of automation before the COVID-19 pandemic. Human interactions were already becoming increasingly less important – but Covid-19 only propelled us further into the world of automation. In the wake of Covid-19, the new normal’ involves using technology instead of humans wherever possible, and so it is only natural to expect that smart applications like vending machines have come to be largely relied upon.

Coca-Cola spent 193 million U.S. dollars in 2021 on advertising its flagship beverage, while PepsiCo invested some 114 million in promoting Pepsi that year.

We live up to this widely adopted notion that data can not only inform business decisions but also bolster the sales. Keeping it in view, the portal connectivity provides data analytics to gain important insights. The cloud-based dashboard and visualization tool developed by Vending Central comes up with the purchase of vending machine/s and shows how many sales are being made on each machine and the products that are needed the most. Based on the sales data, the manager can observe the sales patterns, inform his business decisions, and refill the slots with the products in maximum demand. This way, the sales can increase exponentially resulting in the overall company’s growth.

Using desktop-based software, we turn ordinary vending machines into state-of-the-art data collection points, recording a wealth of crucial information about the machines and the consumer. This data-analytics technology provides vendors with unique opportunities in the domain of smart vending and shifting the traditional methods of manual operation. Vending Central has brought the concept of fully “smart vending machines” in Pakistan with much adoptability, friendliness and customization.
