The first tool that most people are drawn to is the Melitta Margin Calculator. This is a comprehensive tool which allows you to consider every conceivable variable in order to calculate the profitability of your coffee offering. Variables can be updated to help with decision making and stored for future reference.

The second tool that you might find useful is the Melitta Machine Configurator. This allows you to specify any Melitta machine to meet your exact requirements, as well as providing CAD details where required for shop-fitting.

Due to the file-type of these two tools there is a possibility that certain search engines can mistake them for virus files!!! We have therefore decided not to host the files directly on our site in order to avoid confusion with the search engines.

If you would like a copy of either of these tools please Contact Us via email. For more information about Melitta coffee and Melitta coffee machines please visit the Hospitality section of our website.

Ratio has recently installed Vendman. The system is already proving popular with staff and customer alike!

What is Vendman?

                Vendman is a smartphone-based vending management system which controls and connects our operations and accounts systems. Vendman allows us to collect and analyse key information about our business and how we meet our customers’ needs.

 How does Ratio use Vendman?

                Every customer enquiry, service call and machine visit is processed on Vendman in real time. This means that every action is instantly recorded against the relevant machine and customer account.

                Every member of our team works from a “whiteboard” which organises their tasks for the day. We monitor our managed vending service to ensure that each machine is being cleaned and replenished on schedule, and we can instantly identify and act upon any exceptions in the system. 

How does this benefit our customers?

                Vendman helps us to tailor our services to meet each customer’s needs. The structured system ensures that every individual account is being handled to the best of our ability, as agreed with our customers.

                We can then take this agreement, compare it against our performance and provide comprehensive reports for our customers. We are more efficient and our customers are better-informed and completely confident in our quality of service. 

How can you make the most of Vendman on your account?

                It is easy to get started! Whether you’d like to update a selection in a machine, or discuss a completely new vending service, just get in touch. We pride ourselves on understanding each customer’s ongoing requirements and adapting our service to meet them.

                We will provide detailed information on machine throughputs and operator visits. We will also analyse sales information in order to optimise the layout of your machine. Better decisions on stock lead to more satisfied customers.

                We will take what we’ve learnt from every dialogue and adjust the Vendman system. Your improved service will then come as standard, and can be reviewed in detail at any time
