czarredd Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I've noticed that many people use spreadsheets for their bulk vending business and others use software. It appears that VendSoft and VendTrak are the most popular software and their price point is about the same. Could someone highlight why they like one software over the other....or a spreadsheet over software? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I ask is if you don't have many locations right now you really don't need route management software. Now if you have been doing this for a while and have a larger route maybe it would be a reasonable investment. I have never used anything but rudimentary spreadsheets and have had no problems keeping track of things but others apparently like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Povrtsux Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 LOL... FREE is always good. We're not large enough and we already have our own spreadsheet but was looking for another innovative ideas that we can implement. Will be willing to pay for it but not too much :-)....

NYCandyMaN Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I use soft essentials, I got it for free when I bought my first routes, and just never used anything else, just bought it to the upgraded computer, they did scam me on the price, but its worth it, all I do is input all the info, and it tells me when to go do a clean out, it has a lot of stuff in it, but I only use it for cashout dates and vehicle expensed, really don't need anything more than that, its been great. it literally tells me when to clean out a particular location, and the best part is my route is never the same twice which means I get to cover new areas every time, no loss on that one.
