Chard Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 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.

Southeast Treats Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walta Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 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. Walta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacanteen Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I don't rely on the USAT report data for financials, but do use the twice daily DEX stamps for prekit telemetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
