This invention addresses the problem of route management and inventory management at a point of purchase (e.g., a vending machine) referred to as VS 110, by means of a mobile user equipment 150, (i.e., mobile phone or connected PDA). A summary of the DEX information from the vending machine is prepared and transmitted with each transaction. In this invention, we do not assume direct connectivity of the VS 110. The connection between the VS 110 and the service center (SC) 170 is indirectly created with the user's equipment through the messages that are securely exchanged. Security is provided with the proper use of encryption and error detection (or error correction) methods. Each vending machine operator company is assumed to have a fleet of trucks that are mainly responsible to visit the vending machines and to refill them if needed. They may also just service the vending machine which means for example to clean them or to report if there is any malfunction and also to empty the coins in the coin acceptor. The current invention makes this operation more efficient by providing accurate information on the vending machine inventory level. In order to have this optimization done, we also need to have the information about the location of each truck. The habitual method to provide this information is the global positioning through the GPS system. This solution adds to the complexity and the cost of the system. In this invention, we provide a way that the information about the location of the trucks is obtained without using GPS or similar techniques.
