2026-01-01

Our vending machine is not only about hardware—it comes with a powerful remote operation software system that gives operators full control anytime, anywhere. With this system, you can check data in real time, manage your machines, and set flexible business strategies to maximize profit.

Remote Checking

Real-time sales data

Operators can see how many items are sold instantly. For example, if your cupcake vending machine sells 50 cupcakes by noon, you can track this number on your phone without visiting the site.

Sales report

Daily or monthly reports are automatically generated, helping you analyze which products are most popular and adjust your stock strategy.

Real-time inventory data

No need to guess when to refill. If drinks in slot A drop below 5, you’ll get an email alert so you can schedule replenishment.

Replenish record

Every refill is logged in the system, ensuring clear stock management and preventing mistakes or losses.

Electricity bill

Track energy consumption remotely to estimate operating costs and improve energy efficiency.

Click energy management to operate your machines

Expiration date management

The system highlights products nearing expiry—for example, if sandwiches will expire in 2 days, you can set an automatic discount to encourage quick sales, and block sales of expired goods automatically.

Click shelf life to check if any goods are expired and set discounts for near-expiring goods.

Operation record

Every action—whether price adjustment, discount setting, or restocking—is recorded for easy review.

Machine error alarm

If the machine encounters issues (like a jammed product channel or cooling failure), the system immediately sends an alert to your phone.

Remote Setting

Price adjustment

Change product prices anytime. For example, raise the price of bottled water during summer from $1.5 to $2.0 with just one click.

Discount settings

You can run promotions easily. For instance, “Buy 2 cupcakes, get 10% off” or “20% off drinks close to expiration.”

Product management

Add or update product details remotely, such as changing the picture, description, or stock arrangement.

Member management

If you have a membership system, you can manage customer accounts, track their purchase history, and even offer personalized discounts.

Upload advertisement

The vending machine screen can display ads. For example, you can upload a seasonal promotion banner for Valentine’s cupcakes.

Adjust temperature

Control cooling or heating remotely. If fresh flowers or dairy products are inside, you can ensure the right storage temperature anytime.

Business hours

Decide whether your machine runs 24/7 or only during specific times. For example, you can set it to operate only from 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM.

On/off light and screen

Save energy by remotely turning off lights and screens during low-traffic hours, like midnight.

Sub account management

Create multiple operator accounts with different access levels. For example, staff responsible only for refilling will not see financial reports.

✅ With these remote checking and setting functions, operators can easily monitor performance, cut costs, and increase sales without needing to be physically present. This software system makes vending machines smarter, more efficient, and more profitable.
