One photo.
Zero data entry.

You don't type anything into the app. Take a picture of the machine when you leave, and the system does the analysis, builds the dashboard and keeps you up to date — rolling out machine by machine now.

// 01 · How it works

Snap it. Walk away. It builds itself.

  1. Step 01

    Snap a photo

    The driver takes one photo of the machine on the way out. No forms, no counting.

  2. Step 02

    Vision reads the machine

    A vision model reads crane fill, capsule levels and sticker-column stock straight from the frame.

  3. Step 03

    The dashboard builds itself

    Plays, wins, payout % and stock remaining update without anyone typing a number.

  4. Step 04

    Alerts fire when they should

    Door-open events, error codes and a predicted visit date land in the app, not a clipboard.
