Telemetry Sales Reporting


Chard

Recommended Posts

Has anyone compared Telemetry reporting of cash sales to actual cash pulled from machines over time?  Are they quite accurate?  Is it a good way to track what has been pulled.   I just started looking at the data and noticed that cash sales appear to be over represented, but I haven't been in the habit of hitting the refill button when refilling machines.  Just as a side note, theft is not an issue with these counts.  I'm just wondering what sort of variation to expect with coin mechanism retention, etc.

What are your experiences.  As I monitor this to begin to develop checks and balances what should I take note of?

I'm curious to know as well. I don't par the machines or dex. The software have any effect on this? I'm really curious to know if in a irs audit situation if the cash sales reported from USAT would be looked at versus our handwritten tickets.

I have found that if I hit the service button on the telemeter each time at the same time as I pull the cash, and keep track of refunds and test vends well, that the number is usually spot on.  I sometimes vary by a coin or two (dropped or found and added) but the systems are pretty accurate if you are.

I think the telemetry should very accurate.  I have reports of $75,000 in cash sales difference between bank deposits and telemetry reports are often less than 1 dollar.

If you have errors I would look closely at every Coinco coin mech. They have a common fail mode where they intermittently put credit on the machine and return the coin.
