⚠ This workspace is suspended — its records are readable but nothing can be written.
👁 You are looking at a customer workspace as vendor staff. This is recorded. Read-only.
⚠ Early build. The money model is real; most modules are still seams. Machines, routes and collections wait on VENDAI-6 — where sales data actually comes from.

Team

Everyone who services a machine or counts a bag needs their own sign-in. Shared logins are what make the cash question unanswerable.

Invite someone

The only door in. There is no allowlist and no open path.

Invitations

What each role may see

Access and visibility only. Renaming a role changes a word on a screen and nothing about what anybody may do.

Training

Who is signed off to handle cash, hold keys and service a machine — and who signed them off. Append-only: withdrawing a sign-off is a row, not an erasure.

What you are signed off for

Walkthroughs

Guided, on screen, step by step — the route a new driver follows on their first day. Runs survive a refresh and resume on another device.

Available

Time Clock

Punches are facts; hours are derived from them and never stored. A forgotten punch is flagged, never guessed at — the number somebody gets paid for is not one to invent.

Activity

Who did what, in this workspace. Append-only — nothing here can be edited or removed, including by us.

Plan

A plan caps seats and unlocks add-ons. It never changes the money math — Free records a collection with exactly the arithmetic Pro does.

Platform admin

Operators, who has access to what, and granting it. Every act here is recorded to the platform log. This screen is a convenience; the boundary is the server.

Operators

A tenant. Its data is invisible to every other one.

Health — probed, server-side

Services — configuration, not probed

Upgrade requests

Locations

The sites that host your machines. Commission is their share of gross sales — cash and card alike, because they hosted all of it.

A machine can exist without one — that is a warehouse spare.

Machines

Sales are derived by subtracting consecutive cumulative meter readings. Only cumulative counters are stored — a resettable one can be cleared by anything else that reads the machine, and the loss looks exactly like theft.

Bulk heads: set the price per vend and the turn counter is enough — cash is derived as turns × price. Tick no counter for a purely mechanical head: its cash is recorded but can never be reconciled, and the report will say so rather than showing an empty column.
Multi-head racks: add the rack first, then each head with the rack picked as its parent. Counters are read per head; the bag is counted once for the rack, and the rack is what gets settled.
Micro-markets: untick takes coin. Cash sales are then zero by design rather than unknown, which is what makes the variance and the commission answerable instead of permanently blank.

Your machines

Routes

A route is an ordered list of stops with somebody assigned. The order you drive is kept — it encodes things this system cannot see, like which site opens at seven. What the product adds is how soon each stop runs dry, so a run is a worklist rather than a calendar.

Variance

Counted cash against cash sales — never against gross. A machine that took £100 in coin and £60 on card, emptied of exactly £100, is reconciled.

Needs you — ranked by money, worst first

Every machine

Stock

What you sell, who you buy it from, and what you paid. Unit cost is a weighted average of the last 90 days of purchases — recent enough to follow a price rise, wide enough to cover stock still sitting in a machine. Exact arithmetic over an inexact input, so anything derived from it is labelled an estimate.

Units are singles, not cases. A case of 24 bought for 18.00 is 24 units, 18.00 — that way every cost downstream works without needing to know a pack size it may not have.
