For snack, drink, micro-market, and age-restricted vending operators
You're restocking a breakroom with a hand truck and your phone in your pocket. A gym manager calls about getting a machine, hits voicemail, and calls the next vending company on Google. CRM Basket texts him back in seconds, books the site visit, gets the location agreement signed on his phone, opens a ticket when a machine eats someone's dollar, and reminds you before every agreement ends. Every call, text, signature, scan, and ticket lands on that location's record. It runs while you're on the route.
$97/month after the trial. Optional $497 setup kit, or a full one-time setup where we build the whole thing. Cancel anytime.
Every one of these is built in, connected, and set up for you.
Arms full of cases, phone in your pocket? The caller gets a text within seconds, from your business number, asking whether a machine needs service or they want one placed. A location owner who gets a text back doesn't call your competitor.
Every lead from the cold walk-in to the install: site visit booked, proposal sent, agreement signed, install scheduled, live. You see which deals are stuck and who hasn't heard from you in a week. The nudges go out on their own.
Your location agreement, filled in from the record with the commission rate, machine count, and term, e-signed on the owner's phone while you're standing there. The signed copy lands on the location's record.
Machine ate a dollar? Coil stuck? Card reader down? Staff or customers scan the QR on the machine or text EMPTY, JAM, or REFUND, and a ticket opens on your board. You get the alert; they get "we're on it." No more angry notes taped to the glass.
A monthly "anything people keep asking for?" text to each location owner turns into product requests you can actually stock. Ninety days before an agreement ends, you get the nudge and they get a friendly "let's talk," before the other route walks in with a higher commission.
Gym owners know other gym owners. Thirty days after install, they get a "know a spot that needs a machine? $100 when it goes live" text, plus a Google review request, so the next office manager searching "vending service near me" finds you first.
Ask any route operator what eats their week: chasing signatures, "your machine took my money" complaints, and calls they couldn't pick up. These three fix that.
E-signature
Your location agreement becomes an e-sign template. The business name, machine count, commission, and term fill in from the record, you text it from the app, and they sign on their phone before you've wheeled the dolly out. The signed PDF stays on the location forever.
QR codes
A QR decal on the machine opens a text to your service line, so a lost dollar becomes a ticket instead of a complaint to the owner. One on your business card or a "free vending for your business" flyer opens your lead form. Every scan is counted, and you can change where a code points without reprinting.
Missed-call texting
Within seconds the caller gets a text from your business number asking what they need, and the reply routes them: prospects to your site-visit calendar, existing locations to a service ticket. The conversation and the missed call are already on their record when you check your phone.
One ecosystem
Not a CRM plus a texting app plus an e-sign tool plus a form builder plus a QR generator. One system, one login, one record per location. Open Summit Fitness and you see the missed call that started it, the site visit, the signed agreement, the install, the refund ticket, the product requests, and the commission reminders, in order.
An office wants to buy its own drink machine. A warehouse wants a coffee service add-on. Open the CRM Basket app, type the amount, and they tap their card or phone to yours. Or text the invoice and it's paid before you leave the lot. Either way it lands in your bank, and the receipt goes out on its own.
For your business-to-business sales: machines, service, and add-ons. Your machines keep taking payment through your own card readers. Standard card processing fees apply.

Say you run 60 machines across two counties, with a few age-restricted units in bars and a couple of micro markets. Leads live on a notepad in the van, the location agreement is a PDF you print at home, and every "your machine took my money" call goes to your cell. This is what we set up.
Done for you, not handed to you as a template. Send us your logo, your location agreement, and your location list. Two weeks later your phone is answering itself and your paperwork signs itself.
Home, a "Free vending for your business" page with a lead form, micro markets and breakroom service if you offer them, and a "Machine problem?" button. Built on your domain, or we connect the site you have.
A local number for calls and texts, registered for business texting, with missed-call text-back switched on. Keep your cell number off the machines, finally.
New lead → site visit → proposal → signed → install → live, with a site-visit calendar and automatic "haven't heard back" nudges at day 2, 5, and 10.
Your location agreement as an e-sign template that fills from the record: business name, machine count, commission, term. Signed copies stored on the location.
QR decals for every machine and a keyword line: EMPTY, JAM, or REFUND opens a ticket, alerts you or your driver, and texts the person back.
Every location imported with machine count and type, commission rate, restock days, adult-only flag for age-restricted units, and agreement dates.
A monthly "anything people keep asking for?" text per location, a commission-statement reminder on your schedule, and a 90-day renewal reminder before every agreement ends.
"Know a spot that needs a machine? $100 when it goes live" thirty days after install, and a Google review request for your company.
The mobile app on your phone and your drivers', with payments switched on for machine sales and service invoices from day one.

No, and it doesn't try to. Your telemetry and cashless provider already tells you what sold and what's low. CRM Basket handles everything around the machines: the location owners, the leads, the agreements, the service and refund tickets, and the follow-up. When your telemetry flags a problem, open a ticket with one tap in the app, or let the QR decal open it for you.
Yes, for the business side: placements, location agreements, service tickets, and the relationship with the venue. Each location has an adult-only venue flag and an age-verification method on its record, so you always know which machines are where. Two things to know: CRM Basket doesn't sell or advertise age-restricted products, and phone carriers don't allow texts that promote tobacco or vape products, so your automated texts stay about the machine and the location, never the product. We set the templates up that way from the start. Compliance with your state and local rules is on you and your counsel.
Yes. We turn your location agreement into an e-sign template with the business name, address, machine count, commission rate, and term filled in from the record. You send it by text from the app, they sign on their phone, and the signed PDF is stored on the location.
Put a QR decal on each machine. A customer scans it, texts what happened, and a refund ticket opens on your board tagged to that machine's location. They get an instant "we'll make it right" text; you decide how to refund (Venmo, cash with the attendant, or a free item next visit) and close the ticket. You also see which machines generate the most complaints.
Every location keeps its commission rate on the record, and you get a reminder on your schedule (monthly or quarterly) to send statements and pay out. CRM Basket doesn't calculate commission from sales, since that data lives with your telemetry provider, but "what's our deal again?" is always a one-second answer.
You get a local business number that rings your cell and handles texting. Missed-call text-back works on that number. You can forward your existing number to it, so the number on your machines keeps working, and your cell stays private.
You mostly don't have to. The text-back, the pipeline nudges, the check-ins, the renewal reminders, and the review requests run on their own. When someone replies, it shows up in the app like a text message, and you answer between stops.
You're billed $97/month or $970/year, whichever you chose. Cancel before day 14 and you pay nothing for the suite. With the RESTOCK code, your first month after the trial is free too. The Launch Kit, if you added it, is charged once at checkout and we start building right away.
No reader. Install the CRM Basket app on your iPhone or Android, enter the amount, and the customer taps their contactless card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay against your phone. It's for your business sales, like machine sales, service invoices, and breakroom add-ons. Your machines keep using their own card readers.
Yes. That's the Full Implementation, a one-time setup fee from $5,500 depending on how many machines and service lines you run. We build your website, business number, pipelines, e-sign agreements, QR decals, and every location record from your spreadsheet, then train you and your drivers on the app. Book a 20-minute call and you'll have a quote the same day.
Yes. Export it from a spreadsheet or your telemetry portal and we'll import it during setup, with machine count, commission, restock days, and agreement dates on each one, so check-ins and renewal reminders start right away.
Eric Stewart. He ran his own ATM route in New York's Hudson Valley, placing machines in the same delis, bars, gyms, and laundromats vending operators work with, and still rents ATMs for events. CRM Basket is the office he wished he'd had on the route. When you book the walkthrough call, that's who you get.
Start the trial and send us your logo and your location agreement, or hand us the whole thing and we'll build it. Either way you end up with one system that remembers every location.
