With the acquisition of this new company came new accounts and new machines with unfamiliar coin changer technology installed inside .
“ I knew the MEI coin mechs worked great for us . After acquiring the new business , I figured I would just keep what I inherited and continue to use these competitive units . The units worked fine enough , although were a bit finicky when it came to upgrading the software .”
This perspective changed after the company spent some time operating both changers in the field and decided to perform a direct side-by-side comparison of the two different devices .
To perform a comparison , the company analysed two large accounts , a stone ’ s throw from one another . These two accounts enjoyed identical machine sales and had the same product inventory . One machine operated with a MEI CASHFLOW Series 7000 set on Auto Par and the other machine , acquired in the Bluenose acquisition , operated with another industry changer that lacked this functionality .
After some time monitoring both devices , Jody found the difference between the MEI changer and the other industry changer wasn ’ t just marginally different ; it was drastically different — to the tune of $ 220 ! To his surprise , the other industry changer required $ 296 worth of change to support its machine ’ s change payback . Alternatively , the Series 7000 recommended and configured itself to hold a mere $ 76 to support its machine ’ s weekly sales !
The Series 7000 automatically managed the ebb and flow of coin inventory for the business for years without issue . Definite trusted the MEI changer ’ s recommendation . When faced with manually calculating a par level for their newly inherited competitive changers , the company found it easier to fill the coin tubes to their maximum to avoid changer starvation . The $ 220 of excess coins in the competitive changer was reason enough to commit even further to the MEI Series 7000 . For Definite Food , specifying the MEI CF7000 Coin Manager has always been an automatic choice for its ease of use and ability to manage the change payback for the business . Experience with a competitive device showed the company , in real dollars and cents , the capital they could take out of the field and to the bank to grow into greater things , like new business acquisitions .
“ I ’ d tell any operator , when looking for a coin mech , to choose MEI for the Auto Par feature alone . No question about it . It really starts and ends with that .” Said Jody Fraser , Owner of Definite Food Services Limited . n
