Podtega
[ Vending Business Operating System ]

Run the business behind every machine.

Podtega works with your machine app, not instead of it. What it records — the sale, the stock left inside, product cost, card fees, sales tax — becomes what to restock, what you earned, what you owe, how each property is performing, and where to grow next.

Built inside a working vending operation, Podtega connects your sales data with inventory, restocking, margins, sales tax reporting, property communications, referrals, prospecting and Intelligence tools.

From your first machine to 100+.

[ What Podtega Does With It ]

Your machines already report sales, costs and stock — each one on its own. Adding it up is the part that ends up in a stack of spreadsheets, and that is the part Podtega does: one set of numbers across every machine you run, read as a business rather than as a list of transactions.

Aggregate is where the decisions are. A location can look fine machine by machine and still lose money once the monthly fee and the property’s share come off.

(Missed profit) is gross profit forgone on part-paid orders — shown to size it, not charged twice. Drawn from the product interface. Figures are illustrative.

Podtega reads them, then does the part that spans machines: cost of goods, card fees, the property’s share, what is on the warehouse shelf, what goes in the van, the tax report, and the statement the property is waiting on — all off one set of figures. Two machine brands end up in one set of numbers.

[ Where This Came From ]

Podtega was written inside a working vending business, and its most useful details came from problems that only show up on a route. Restock quantities carry forward, because the units you meant to bring and didn’t are the ones that go missing. The property’s share is calculated on cash collected, not cash owed, because paying a property on money that never arrived is a mistake you only make once.

Three parts of the job.

[ What Changes ]
[ Run the route ]

A crate per machine, before the van leaves.

Built from what actually sold there, carrying forward whatever you meant to bring last time and didn’t — and the hours and days behind those sales say when to go back.

[ Know the money ]

What was left, per location, per month.

Product cost, card fees, the machine fee, unpaid amounts and the property’s share all come off — and the sales tax report is prepared by city.

[ Grow the business ]

A property partner can introduce the next building.

Their statements and reports live on a portal under your brand, and an introduction from it becomes a prospect and a proposal you can see was opened.

[ Get Started ]

Run the business behind every machine.

Operations is $39.99 a month for up to 10 machines. Business is $69.99, with 50 included and the reporting, portal and growth tools.

Business is free for 30 days on one machine — no payment card, and the AI features stay off until a plan starts. After that a card starts it at $69.99 a month, or it cancels on its own. Cancel any time.
