Dynamic Routing
Dynamic 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
Operators often spend too much time on repetitive tasks like route planning. Televend’s AI planning tool analyzes factors such as machine stock, traffic, and working hours to create optimal routes in seconds.
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.
