Remote Price Control
Term from the vending glossary
Feature of vending management systems to change product prices remotely without physical technician visits. Enables real-time price adjustment based on raw material costs, time of day (Dynamic Pricing), or location groups.
Remote price control means changing prices from head office instead of visiting each machine. With a fleet across multiple locations, that's the difference between making a price adjustment in one afternoon and conducting a service route over two weeks.
Three prerequisites must come together: a machine that can hold multiple prices, a control system that accepts remote pricing commands, and a network connection. If any one is missing, the price list remains on the machine. And regardless of the technology, what is displayed on the machine must match what is charged.
