The whole operating loop
Most route problems do not stay in one category. A product request changes purchasing. A failed vend creates service work and a refund. A restock changes inventory and profit. VendPatch keeps that context together.

A branded QR gives customers a fast way to report a problem, request a product, and track the response.

Clear answers
Explore the software first. The demo uses sample records and does not require an account.
VendPatch is designed for independent vending machine operators and growing route teams that need more structure than spreadsheets but do not want their whole operation tied to one hardware provider.
No. You can begin with manual records and supported CSV imports. VendPatch is designed to organize mixed fleets, including machines without live telemetry. Direct telemetry integrations are planned after the early-access release.
Yes. Each machine can have a customer-facing QR page for service issues, refund requests, product requests, and feedback. The request stays connected to that machine and includes a private status link for the customer.
Yes. The inventory workflow distinguishes purchased cases from sellable individual units, records receiving, and connects products to machine stock and restocking work.
Yes. You can create a private workspace and start a 14-day trial, or explore the working demo first without an account. VendPatch remains in early access while direct hardware integrations and some delivery automations are finalized.
