The company also offers product
efficiency reports, enabling operators
to view exact quantities of products
they have sold at any chosen time
interval at specific machines, accounts
or across the entire operation. This
allows operators to better merchandise
their sale points with the right products, boost sales and reduce spoilage
by reducing par values, Jorquera noted.
Gimme integrates artificial intelligence (AI), computer vision and
machine learning for product and
schedule changes. The company
prides itself on using the latest technology. "Seventy-five percent of the
technologies we use today didn't exist
two years ago," said Cory Hewett, cofounder and CEO of Gimme.

"We designed Gimme VMS to
respond to our customers' evolving
technology needs," said Evan Jarecki,
co-founder of Gimme. "The VMSs our
customers were using could not keep
up with the fast-paced nature of today's
markets. Our customers asked us when
we would build a better VMS for their
operation. We have responded with
Gimme VMS."
Blue World's C3 Inventory Trak
allows vending operators to manage
ordering, production, distribution,
sales and waste of food items in their
vending, food machines and micro
markets. Inventory Trak evaluates
spoilage of unsold items by pointof-sale and makes recommendations based on target waste for food
ordering. One-Click ordering saves
operators time and money by using
data-driven metrics to optimize orders
and reduce waste.
Blue World's software also includes
Nutrilabel Pro, a nutritional calculator
and label generator software. Operators create recipes using weights of
specific ingredients within the system,
and Nutrilabel Pro quickly calculates
the combined nutritional values. After
generating the nutritionals, a backof-package label is produced per FDA
regulatory standards that can be downloaded and printed. The front-of-package custom label generator can be used
to apply expiration dates, net weight
conversions, calorie count and more
to your label. C3 is partnered with
VIP Printers to offer a fully deployable
system to operators' commissaries.
Blue World's software can be joined
together, or operators may select a la
carte from the offerings.

operator-focused software developed
