Welcome to AllAboutVending.com
Management Science Associates' half-century of experience in the management and leveraging of sales and marketing data has taught us the value of capturing and building information from the lowest level of detail, e.g., which exact items are selling through each specific outlet. This extends to our breakthrough work in the vending world, where we have been delivering solutions for over 20 years.
Vending is a very important channel across all classes of trade, representing
an average of 12% of total sales dollars for the average Vend Product Supplier
- and significantly more for category leaders.

MSA's ProVen projection service provides multiple layers of value-added information to machine-level data. ProVen, the industry's FIRST and ONLY nationally projected data service, is available for the confectionery and snack categories. Our proprietary system takes into consideration influential external factors like industry growth and seasonality and applies them to the data. Thus, projected results reflect an accurate and complete picture of the total industry.
Four geographic regions and the four major classes of trade are projected to represent total sales. Confectionery brand information at the item level is indicative of industry sales with any sample biases removed in the projected results. Integrate ProVen with syndicated scanner data measuring other channels of trade for a more comprehensive measurement of the marketplace. |
