Smart vending machines have now been sought after by traditional retailers, intelligent vending machines not only effectively shorten the distance between the product and the consumer, but also improve the timeliness and convenience of the product service, then, want to transform the traditional retailers or want to station in the unmanned vending machine investors and how to operate the vending machine? Don’t worry, the following in the small to explain to you the intelligent vending machine operation skills!

The following factors should be considered when choosing the location of an unmanned vending machine.

(1) Scene factors

Choose places that are closed and lack retail services, such as office buildings, schools, factories, airports, stations and other public places that are heavily trafficked and relatively closed. However, it should be noted here that high traffic is not the only consideration, and if we can choose, we prefer closed places that are closed for a longer period of time, as the transaction rate in such places will be higher than in general public places.

(2) Logistical factors

In addition to staff costs, logistics costs are the largest part of the smart vending machine operation process. Logistics costs are an important factor when calculating the operating costs of a smart vending machine, and even if the point is found to be cost effective, the logistics of the product will not be worth the benefits gained if it is not guaranteed or if logistics costs exceed the budget, so operators should be careful when placing smart vending machines consideration.

(3) Density factors

When considering the location of smart vending machines, it is important to note that each location has different density criteria. For example, the total number of students and faculty at a university is approximately 14,000, and the operator has calculated, after several deployments, that when the number of devices is 1:300, the replenishment demand for some products will be relatively high and the operating costs will increase proportionally, and when the ratio of devices to personnel is higher than 1:200, the product replenishment cycle will be relatively long and the overall gross margin will drop. Therefore, operators of smart vending machines are controlling their campus placement at around 47-70 units in order to maintain a good density.

Among the factors influencing the selection of smart vending machine locations, the competition factor is the most intuitive influence. Operators of vending machines need to consider the density of competing products in the chosen location and try to avoid locations with too high a density of competing products. During the location setting process, you can choose to retail other products next to other unmanned vending machines. Combined retailing can help smart vending machines to achieve synergy and increase the degree of sales. The above is the smart vending machine operation skills to share, I hope it will help you!
