Limit The Usage of Coffee Vending Machine

Star Link has achieved many milestones in customizing every kind of solutions running any corporate offices; may be access control, canteen management, visitor management or time office software. But this time I am going to let you know about the customization done in "Beverage Vending Machines" or  "Coffee Vending Machines".

There are many companies where certain rules are made for use Coffee Vending machines. These rules vary from level to level, like different for HR, Employees or other staffs. So looking at the same condition, Star Link has customized the solution by authorizing the number of times it can be used. This permission can be given to the employees based on their department, profile or may be individual type. The Admin of the solution is required to allow, the permission though the software.

Each employee is issued a card, which includes his details. Whenever he goes to use the coffee vending machine he have to show the card for identity verification. Like wise the same process can be repeated whenever anyone goes to get the coffee, the number of times he/she is allowed.

The major problem was related to the workers or employees who are employed on contract basis in the companies; for them the companies pay for every service. Though some company faces the problem related to the unauthorized usage of canteen facility or coffee vending machine. Keeping in mind this prevailing problem, Star Link provided a solution which solved it easily.

As we recharge the Metro Smart card with a certain amount which allows us to use the service uninterrupted till there is balance, likewise the smart cards which are issued to casual workers or employees on contract basis, will be recharged with a certain amount for using coffee vending machine or canteen services, paid by employees themselves. After recharging they can use the vending machine; which will automatically reduce the fixed amount of coffee every time it is used.

 

                       

The above solution helped a lot to restrict the over-usage of services. The recharge of the card can be done by the Admin who is responsible to control all these solutions. This will help to maintain the balance record as well.

So if you are also looking to synchronize your canteen services or coffee vending machine, employee wise or department wise; you hit the nut shell. Just browse Star Link India and ask for this solution. It is going to reduce all your additional costs and other extra human efforts.
