Probably with Coca-Cola or Pepsi, right?  After all, both companies have a global presence--and you see their vending equipment everywhere--so it should be simple to set up a national plan with either company to provide vending services for more than one location. 

But it's actually not that easy.

In reality, neither company has the infrastructure to manage a national program. Both of them are divided up among different territories and ownership groups, so to get a Coke machine installed at each of your locations nationwide, you'd end up having to deal with several different contacts.

How, then, can your company set up a national vending plan?  With a [vending management](https://www.vendinggroup.com/vending-management) company (VMC).

A VMC serves as your contact for all the different suppliers. Instead of having to deal with multiple people about your vending needs, you'll have one contact for your entire portfolio.

So whenever you have an issue with the vending at one of your locations, you don't need to sort through a dozen contacts. What's more, the commissions from the vending machines get consolidated as well. 

Most VMC's have agreements in place with Coca-Cola and Pepsi, so you can still have a vending program based on your preference for one or the other, but it's something that will be managed separately.

## Frequently Asked Questions About Vending Machines

### Why is it difficult to set up vending machines at multiple properties nationwide?

It is difficult because major companies like Coca-Cola and Pepsi do not have the infrastructure to manage a national program. Their operations are divided among different territories and ownership groups, requiring you to deal with multiple contacts for each location.

### What is a vending management company (VMC) and how can it help?

A vending management company (VMC) acts as a single point of contact for all your vending needs across multiple locations. It manages relationships with different suppliers, simplifying communication and consolidating commissions from vending machines.

### Can I still choose between Coca-Cola and Pepsi for my vending machines when using a VMC?

Yes, most VMCs have agreements with both Coca-Cola and Pepsi, allowing you to base your vending program on your preference for either company while the VMC manages the program separately.

### How does working with a VMC simplify issue resolution for vending machines?

With a VMC, you only need to contact one person for any vending issues across all your locations, eliminating the need to sort through multiple contacts for different territories or suppliers.

### What happens to commissions from vending machines when using a VMC?

Commissions from vending machines are consolidated by the VMC, streamlining the financial aspect of managing vending services across multiple properties.

### Where should I start if I want vending machines installed at multiple properties?

Instead of contacting individual beverage companies directly, it is recommended to work with a vending management company that can coordinate vending services across all your properties nationwide.
