Do smart coolers report restock visits?
It depends on the make: HAHA restock records come over along with your sales history and current inventory. Qingo does not report restock visits, so VENDBase spots one from the stock counts and asks you to confirm it.
Either way, every machine lands on one route and restocks are measured the same way whichever cooler it is.
What comes over from a HAHA cooler?
HAHA sales history is loaded back as far as HAHA still holds it, along with your current inventory and your restock records. Connect your HAHA app key and secret once, and sales, machine status and stock sync automatically from that point forward.
How does VENDBase handle a Qingo restock?
Qingo sales come in as far back as Qingo returns them, along with current stock and the prices and costs from your Qingo product library.
The two makes don't report exactly the same things, and VENDBase tells you where they differ rather than filling the gap with a guess. Qingo doesn't report restock visits, so VENDBase spots one from the stock counts and asks you to confirm it.
Which habits keep a Qingo machine's numbers right?
Two habits keep a Qingo machine's numbers right: record your restocks in the Qingo app, and when a machine moves, rename it there. VENDBase sees the new name and asks you for the new address.
Why does a restock visit matter?
Restocks are part of what each machine earns. The profit picture sharpens toward the true per-machine number as you log restocks and enter product costs, so real numbers replace guesses one restock at a time.
Sales, restock, regulars and what each machine has paid back are measured the same way whichever cooler it is, and a weak location shows up no matter which brand is sitting in it.
What do I need to connect?
Your HAHA app key, your Qingo API key and secret, or both. That's the only thing you have to go and find. Your Qingo API key and API secret are in your Qingo operator account, under Developer configuration.
Who do you talk to when something breaks? I'm Benjamin, I run a route in western Oklahoma, and we built this because nothing else existed.
$19 a month flat covers your whole route, so the price is the same whether you run three coolers or thirty. No per-machine fees and no tiers.
