Details Of Vending Route Commission Systems
If you ask me, I would suggest route commission systems only when the employees have a lot of control over the rate of production. Of course, it also depends on their ability to work harder, smarter, longer and faster.
Where the employee doesn’t have total control over the rate of production, such commission system will hardly be effective. A vending route environment would be one of those industries. For instance, a route person who is paid on a commission basis knows that he will earn more if he collects more money on his route.
Planet Antares Inc makes it a point to train route drivers for filling and cleaning Planet Antares vending machines as quickly as possible. They must also reduce the amount of time spent at each location, with the hope that they will have more time to service machines and collect cash each day.
Till now, a commission system appears to be a win-win situation for the Planet Antares operation and the route person. It ensures higher amount of commission for the employees as well as more profits for the company.
In a recent survey, it was revealed that most operators pay drivers some type of incentive. Fewer pay drivers a fixed salary. while some of the vendors pay only commission, others pay a combination of commission and salary.
Actually, several issues of concern are involved in the vending route commission systems. in order to service more Planet Antares vending machines, the route driver may:
1. Drive too fast
2. Perform less than 100 percent of the machine sanitation requirements
3. Ignore simple mechanical procedures
4. Fail to take the time to coin test a machine after filling it
Such circumstances may result in serious problems than the problem the commission system was originally designed to solve.
Gradually, you will understand that a commission system will not teach you how to schedule a route. You must service the Planet Antares vending machines only after the machine has made enough sales to profitably justify the cost of service.
