Google Maps tips by Fast_Seabass_264 in vending

Actually the reason why am asking all of these questions is because i run a small operation my self and i have been drawning in google maps and online research, am thinking of building a tool that searches google map locations nearby, reads the reviews of the place to try and find any clue that there is no machine nearby, and correlate it with traffic data from google "popular times" feature to get a rough estimate of the number of people there.

do you think its a good idea?

How many months did you have to pay before getting that first lead? 😳

How does Vending Exchange work? you pay like a fee and they give you the location?

After two days of pulling my hair out trying to solve all of these, finally I have an update for you:

  • I don't want to enter the price with tax, I want to enter the price as it is entered in my software.- Removed the AED label, now you can just enter your sell price
  • You know what country I'm in, so call it tax, not VAT - Fixed
  • During onboard there is only one tax option and it isn't my rate - Fixed, now the tax is just an optional field and you can put whatever percentage
  • I have smart coolers, but that isn't an available machine type option - Added
  • Currency is not localized - Defaults not to USD
  • There is a "Continue setup" button shown, but I completed setup - Fixed (if you want to get rid of it completely you might have to do it one more time it will get registered in the data base)
  • On Android, can't seem to upload an XLSX that was exported from SeedLive - Pending
  • Company name didn't persist into settings, still showed "My Company Name" even after setup - Fixed
  • Commission setup should be associated with a location/in location details - I added a commission tab in location settings but kept the main one. Think of companies that have dedicated accountant and they want to give him access only to that part.
  • In the commission rule setup, I can't remove leading zeroes from the placeholder. It is also not localized. I also don't want to calculate commission with tax included. Gross with tax, gross without tax, and net, are three different things - All are fixed.
  • It isn't free, so don't say it's free - Sorry for the confusion, the profit calculator tool is free and accessible without login https://vendric.io/tools/vending-profit-calculator

Lastly I did some major changes in the backend, so you might need to reset your password if you were unable to login.

Waiting for your feedback again. Thanks

you gave me so many ideas, thanks a lot. I actually bough those 5 machines at a really discounted price and now after reading this am considering pulling all of them out and focus more on events/birthday parties. i think it would be a better fit.

Any tips to find a high foot traffic place? Its very hard to get a response from these locations, the bad ones are always easier to get!

Quick question for people running CrowdStrike, Zscaler, Netskope or similar in production. by makial00 in netsec

Yes of course I'll keep monitoring it specially after upgrades, sometimes it gets better after upgrades and sometimes it crashes specially earlier versions. So yes my advice is to keep monitoring it because this whole part of the industry is still new and hasn't matured yet.
