 InterpreterThe frequency of restocking vending machines can vary depending on various factors, such as the location of the machine, the demand for its products, and the size of the machine. However, most vending machines need to be restocked at least once a week or more frequently if they are in high-traffic areas. The machine's inventory level and the number of products sold per day will determine when it needs to be restocked. Vending machine operators typically monitor the machine's inventory levels and refill them when they are running low to avoid running out of popular products. Some vending machines are equipped with sensors that track the inventory level and automatically alert the operator when it is time to restock. Additionally, some vending machine operators use data analytics to track sales and adjust their restocking schedules accordingly. Ultimately, the frequency of restocking vending machines will depend on several factors, and it is up to the vending machine operator to determine the optimal restocking schedule for each machine.

Reliling of a smart vending machine depends on the frequency of sales, the distance of the vending machine from the warehouse, the location and the business strategy.
For higher footfall locations, you might refill the vending machine more frequently, since the usage is more. Since it is different for every business, it is important to plan the restocking trip to avoid higher logistic costs.
For this, smart vending solutions like vNerta by Vendekin provide alerts and analytical data as to when restocking is required in which location so you can plan out the task in the most efficient way.
