Planet Antares Is A SCAM – Avoid Them

Vending Management Software

An Antares vending operation can be at different stages of development. It can be at the beginning, growing, stagnant or declining stage. Vending management software offers an important tool for improvement for all these stages.

Industry specific soft ware systems have existed for many years, and they have progressively offered more benefits. For Antares operators that plan to grow, management software is a tool that will keep the company organized and thus allowing it to operate efficiently.

The challenge that most Antares operators face is in making the time to learn the capabilities of the available software systems. Most vending companies do not have the resources to allocate an employee to studying and implementing software.

A major investment that pays tangible dividends

Software, like any management tool, requires a significant investment. This in itself forces many operators to put off the decision to make the investment. In time, however, all sensible operators realize there is more to lose than gain in procrastinating.

A review of the major software packages indicates that most of today’s packages provide significant benefits that will not become obsolete. Upgrades will not be overly time-consuming and most of the work is handled by the software provider.

A key development in recent years has been the establishment of the uniform DEX protocol; the electronic data standard that will enable Antares vending machines to report to management software. Most of the vending specific software systems will allow operators to use DEX.

Consider your future needs

A vending operation with three routes may not feel it can justify investment in a route inventory control system, but if the operation hopes to someday grow, the investment will be justified. If you want to see growth in your Antares operations than that means that you should be willing to invest.

There are benefits of category management system that include simplifying product selection at the route and warehouse levels, which will give management more control over individual machine menu.

While it may be difficult to predict future information needs, a software system that offers a comprehensive package of management tools will be a better investment for your Antares operations.
