ROUTE SCHEDULING AND FIELD SERVICE PLANNING SOLUTION

Smart Route Optimization

Optimizing machine routes means optimizing your vending business

Televend smart routing utilizes AI algorithms to reduce unnecessary costs and enhance your Service Level Agreement (SLA). Visit machines based on demand forecast or as soon as a technical issue appears. Prioritize based on urgency and skills needed, and never miss an ETA with Televend.

Forecast demand & cut unnecessary trips to save costs

Visiting vending machines on a fixed schedule significantly increases the costs of logistics operations. By planning visits ahead of time to only those machines that need filling or repair, operators can reduce their routing costs by up to 40%.

Improve performance and save time with a help of AI

Often, operators spend too much time on repetitive tasks, such as route planning. Televend’s AI planning tool considers various factors, including machine stock, traffic, and working hours, to plan routes in a way that no human can – in a split second.

Manage technical dispatching and speed up error resolution

Planning technical visits in real-time reduces machine downtime and prevents revenue loss on vending machines. It is impossible to know when the machine will break down, so proactivity is a crucial part of vending management.
