Route Management for Service Coverage

Challenge

Cantaloupe Systems hired Archer Software to develop Seed Pro – a powerful data analytics tool that could aggregate the data from the vending machines and provide operators with instructions for: which machines to visit and which products to replenish, which planogram should be implemented and which machines need to be repaired.

The solution had to include two components: 1) the sensors installed in the vending machines to track parameters and wirelessly transfer the data to the manager; 2) the BI app that can be accessed from a laptop or any mobile device.
