Overview

Prekitting is the process of preparing products before visiting locations.

Without prekitting, the typical workflow is:

  • Visit the location

  • Check inventory

  • Return to the truck

  • Find and load products

  • Go back and refill the machine

With prekitting:

  • Products are prepared in advance

  • Servicing becomes faster and more efficient


How Quantities Are Calculated

The system calculates required quantities using:

Average Vends per Day Γ— Number of Days Since Last Fill
