Frequently asked questions

Vending management software, clearly explained.

Understand where VendFront fits in your technology stack before choosing a platform.

What type of vending management software is VendFront?

VendFront is customer ordering and ecommerce management software for vending operators. It manages the online catalogue, customer ordering, business checkout, customer records, orders and fulfilment workflow.

Does VendFront monitor vending machines?

No. VendFront does not provide vending-machine telemetry, machine-health monitoring or live sales data from physical machines. It is the commerce and customer-ordering layer for the vending business.

Does VendFront include route optimisation?

No. VendFront does not calculate service routes or dispatch technicians. Delivery and collection information can remain attached to customer orders, and a separate route platform may be assessed as an integration requirement.

Can VendFront manage products, prices and availability?

Yes. Administrators can manage products, SKUs, categories, descriptions, images, standard prices, sale prices, quantity discounts, availability and stock status.

Can staff process and update customer orders?

Yes. Authorised users can review structured order details and move orders through statuses such as pending, packing, ready, delivered or cancelled.

Does VendFront support New Zealand business ordering?

Yes. VendFront supports NZD, GST settings, four-digit postcodes, purchase-order references, account-ordering context, saved locations, delivery and collection.

Can VendFront replace accounting or inventory software?

VendFront manages customer-facing commerce and its associated order workflow. It should not be assumed to replace a full accounting, warehouse, telemetry or enterprise inventory platform; specific system connections are assessed separately.
