The related sales information of VM is collected through the RS-232 Protocol via GSM/GPRS module back to the host. Data are compiled and analyzed through background software to be reference for the operating management of VM industry. In this study, the integrating VM and GPRS wireless communication system is installed into the actual device for beverage vending machines to test and compare the sales data before and after installing the device into the machine. It is verified that the system and the background software enhance 24.6% sales of the vending machine, reduce 12.5% human resource and statement of differential rates of decline from 1.07% to 0.17%. This system provides an effective way to improve the operating effectiveness of VM industry.
