Vianet Group PLC, a U.K.-based provider of real time monitoring systems, contactless payment solutions and data management services in the unattended retail and hospitality sectors, has introduced its SmartVend vending management system offering a cloud-based solution that eliminates the need for on-premise servers, according to a press release.

The service dashboard provides a live view of performance across machines to ensure the service levels are maintained.

The cash management tool compares the data captured in the field by the machine to that counted in the office, highlighting any discrepancies and removing the possibility of revenue loss at every step.

Proactive pick lists based on current and predicted stock levels ensure operators have the stock they need before they leave the depot — by machine and product.

A red route line on the map identifies routes with insufficient stock to complete the route.

"SmartVend, alongside our award-winning payment and telemetry hardware, provides our partners with the technology needed to continually adapt their business to the fast paced and ever-changing world we live in today," Mark Parry, commercial director, said in the press release.
