Introduction
In addition to your PicoVend Mini, you will need a smartphone with Bluetooth capabilities and be in Bluetooth range of the device to use the 365 Ops App.
For information on other features of this app, please see the 365Ops App Operator Guide.
Vending Features
The 365Ops app allows an operator to log in using their AVLive account to access vending settings. For more information on this process, please see PicoVend Mini - Activating Device and Linking AVLive.
Install, Login, and Select Device
- Download the 365Ops app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
- Once installed, you may open the app and select AVLive Login
- Once you have logged in and allowed the app to access your Bluetooth, you will see a list of the devices within range. You may select the name of the device to navigate to the device's Settings page, or you may select the Camera icon to the left of the device name to add a photo of the device.
Vending Machine Settings
Once you have selected the device you would like to manage, the Vending Machine Settings screen will appear. The settings found on this and the following screens apply to only the device you have selected previously. In this example, it is for the device named Quick Snacks.
This page informs you of the service status of the device, and provides the following settings options: Device settings, Adjust Inventory, and Test Vend, which are all described below.
Device Settings
From the Device Settings screen, you have a number of options. These include unlinking the device, running VMC diagnostics, rebooting the device, and putting the device into Service Mode.
When you are done here, you may select the Back arrow in the upper left-hand corner to go back to the vending machine settings page.
Adjust Inventory
Selecting Adjust Inventory from the vending machine settings page will allow you to manage the items inside your vending machine. As shown in the screenshot below, you will see a grid list of all the items that are currently in your vending machine.
Selecting the image for the product you would like to adjust brings you to a new page, where you can change the price or quantity of the product as needed.
By selecting the Change Product option from that page, you can also replace the item with a different one. This is useful when restocking with different products.
Once you have made changes to your device's inventory, you may select the Back arrow in the upper left-hand corner to go back to the vending machine settings page.
Test Vend
Selecting the Test Vend option from the vending machine settings page will allow you to troubleshoot any issues with your vending device. Once this option is selected, you will have 30 seconds to choose up to $5 worth of products from your device.
The device will act as it normally would during a standard purchase, allowing you to check for blockages to snack coils, pick-up boxes, etc.
Select Cancel on this page to end the test vend early and go back to the vending machine settings page.
