Spottico Managed Portfolios
Take the Hassle Out of Managing Vending Across Multiple Locations
Managing vending opportunities across several properties can take time. Spottico's proposed Managed Portfolios service gives businesses the option to appoint one dedicated partner to coordinate vending operators, installations, ongoing relationships and portfolio reporting.
From a handful of locations to larger property portfolios, we aim to make vending management simpler, more organised and easier to scale.
Portfolio Management is a proposed service, available for discussion and subject to a separate management agreement.
What the service could cover
Dedicated Portfolio Coordination
One central contact for agreed vending-related activities across participating sites.
Operator Sourcing
Support with finding and introducing suitable vending machine operators.
Installation Coordination
Assistance with arranging installation schedules and tracking progress.
Ongoing Relationship Management
A central point of contact for agreed operational and commercial matters.
Portfolio Reporting
Clear updates on location status, operator relationships and outstanding actions.
Expansion Opportunities
Support with identifying additional suitable vending spaces across your portfolio.

Common questions
Can Spottico manage existing vending arrangements?
Potentially, yes, where the scope is agreed and the necessary information and authority are provided.
Does Spottico own or operate vending machines?
Not as part of the proposed standard management service. Vending equipment remains the responsibility of the relevant operator or owner.
Can Spottico manage only selected locations?
Yes. The management agreement would identify the participating locations.
Will Spottico negotiate contracts on our behalf?
Spottico may support negotiations where agreed, but cannot bind a client to contracts without express written authority.
How much does management cost?
Pricing depends on the number of locations, services required and agreed responsibilities. A bespoke quotation is provided following an initial discussion.
Is the service available now?
Spottico is currently inviting discussions about its proposed Managed Portfolios service. Delivery arrangements are subject to agreement and operational readiness.
