The Vendometer allows commercial coffee machine operators to remotely manage their fleet of equipment from machine ingredient levels to machine repairs and malfunctions.
The Story
The client managed an office coffee service company and found major inefficiencies dealing with coffee machine inventory levels and repairs without remote access to machine data.
The challenge was to create a hardware device to plug into existing commercial coffee machines and provide an accurate display via a webapp in order to give users intel on their fleet of coffee machines.
After reverse engineering the coffee machine electronics, different methods of integration and functionality were tested. The final design incorporates a web app that helps operators access machine level data remotely. The product is now in testing across a variety of locations.
Services Provided
