What You Might Not Know about Bernick’s Vending

Vending machines are a quick, easy way to get a snack or beverage that will relieve hunger pains and quench your thirst. Because of their convenience and easy use, they are found in most major businesses or restaurants and even appear near the doors of many small stores. Although using a vending machine is quite simple, maintaining and stocking it is an intricate and detailed task. When you partner with a distributor that specializes in vending machines and has experts on staff, however, this task becomes seamless.

The Process of Vending

stockingYou've seen a lot of vending machines in your life, and you know from experience one of the main advantages of a vending machine is that it provides a large variety of products in a single dispenser. This does come at a cost. Namely, someone has to stock all of those products, which is a multi-step process.

First, vending machine suppliers need to obtain all the various products from each of the unique companies that sell them. And once all of these diverse products have been purchased, they need to be organized and sorted.

The next step of the process involves a Bernick’s Vending Account Rep (VAR) taking physical inventory of the items in the machine and determining; top sellers, slow sellers, and new item options for the machine. After an order is collected, it is submitted to the central warehouse in Waite Park where it is picked and packed to be delivered the next time the MA visits the account (within the next week or two).
