Individual Vending

The system works on a purse (float) based business model, and means that there is no physical stock reserved for the terminal. As a vendor you no longer require to keep records of existing stock, sold stock, or what stock to order. You also do not land up stocking difficult to sell vouchers! YOU BASICALLY SELL WHAT EVER YOU WANT, WHENEVER YOU WANT ALL DAY EVERY DAY (24/7)*! We provide a stock pool from which you draw from at the time of sale. Your only concern is that there is sufficient money in your purse to do the required sale. This means that with a small amount of money in your float you can be in business. Simply deposit a minimum of R500.00 in to our bank account, and with in a few minutes (Monday to Friday banking hours), your machine is updated and ready to sell pre-paid services. At the end of each day/shift, the terminal can be made to print the sales that were made, with the actual profit that was made for the vending period. With a daily print out, a full control of your business is possible.

Multiple Vending Machines

If your business requires more than one machine, then you can subscribe to our Manager Model. This means that you will have access to your personal web page, have an improved discount structure, and monitor the terminals registered to you. You can do full reporting and print outs as required for each terminal, set each terminal’s discount structure, and even make a commission on every voucher sold. You can control each terminal individually, and even update the purse as required. In this case you would make a lump sum deposit into our account, and then disperse the float as required by each terminal. The minimum requirement is an internet subscription and connection from your local service provider. This allows for access from any where in the country, in fact world, provided you have an internet connection.

Simple Business Model

If you sell an average of R500.00 a day, and you make a Nett Profit of 7% average on your sales, means that you make a total of R35 a day using your terminal. Whilst this does not sound much, the cost of running the business is negligible when compared to a standard scratch card type of business. Firstly you have to physically collect the stock from your supplier, incurring transportation costs, both to and from the supplier. Secondly you have to purchase stock for at least one weeks trading, to make re-stocking viable, which means that you have to invest a minimum of R3500 worth of stock, but you now have to predict your sales when you purchase your R3500 of stock, because that is all that you have. Quite difficult. Thirdly you have to carry this large amount of cash on you when purchasing your stock, easy prey for thieves. Fourthly your physical stock is money, so any voucher lost or stolen means LOST money!

With our system, your stock is as close as the nearest bank, and means that you can deposit daily a smaller sum of money, making the risk lower, but with all the added benefits, SELL WHAT EVER YOU WANT, WHENEVER YOU WANT. This means that you give your customer better service. Experience has shown that our vendors turnovers increase by up to 40% when changing to our terminal, simply because they have stock all the time.

Low Running Costs

Every system has a running cost, however the running costs are low when compared to other systems, especially when it comes to the better service that our system provides. Using an MTN ‘ Pay-As-U-Go’ SIM card for example, a minimum monthly charge for GPRS usage will be R10.00 for a 10Mbyte bundle. This must be loaded every month, and we recommend that the subscription option be selected to ensure a continuous operation, the only requirement is that you maintain a minimum of R10 airtime on your SIM card to ensure the subscription can take place. Topping up of airtime is simply to sell yourself a voucher, and loading it on the terminal just as you would do with a normal cell phone. There is a transaction a R0.13c charge VAT included levied for all successful transactions processed by our Server, at the time the transaction takes place. However the running fee is negligible when compared to the amount of time spent doing standard stock checks and rechecks.

Voice Calls

The terminal has the facility to receive and make voice calls, however this is not intended as a public telephone, but is there for the user convenience. This option is also used for topping up airtime, and purchasing GPRS bundles.

• Provided that the required voucher is a valid request and available at the time of sale. Whilst every effort is made to ensure continuous stock, circumstances beyond our control may cause some items to be temporarily out of stock.
