Thirst Link Consulting have built our foundation on a good understanding and working relationship with all the leading vending operator companies, contract caterers, machine manufacturers, product suppliers and the AVA (Automatic Vending Association). In addition, the two Partners have over 50+ years combined experience in the industry, working with major corporate clients.
From our experience this enables us to provide major corporate clients with objective advice to select the most appropriate machines and service, ensure continuous improvement of the vending services provided and significantly increase our clients profit or reduce their subsidy.
Any organisation’s success and maximisation of its profitability is directly affected by its skill in understanding and correctly detailing its internal service needs; these then need to be reviewed with the most appropriate contractors who can deliver the correct service level. It is essential that the contract be well defined covering all the service criteria, accompanied by a Service Level agreement incorporating Key Performance indicators that both reward and penalise the contractor.
Should you choose to appoint Thirst Link Consulting to provide our operator / supplier monitoring service (assigned as your Vending Consultants), you and your company will benefit from a dedicated ‘hands on’ approach to monitoring and improving operational standards. We focus on resolving any issues quickly, by working closely with your vending operator, to ensure agreed service level standards are maintained, enhancing the overall refreshment vending service provided to your staff and clientele.
All the clients that have employed Thirst Link Consulting have been amazed by the improvements that have been forthcoming from our intimate understanding of their vending services and suppliers.
The peace of mind and confidence of having specialist consultants looking after their interests feature greatly when a client is asked to comment on Thirst Link Consulting's approach. Below are a few of the quotes clients have made over the past couple of years:-
“Thirst Link Consulting speak the same language as vending contractors and are able to get things sorted to every ones satisfaction”.
“Although my knowledge is extensive as a seasoned facilities manager of a large organisation, I quickly realised that my knowledge of what is possible in the vending industry and how deals can be constructed was greatly enhanced by employing the specialist services of Thirst Link Consulting ”.
“By engaging Thirst Link Consulting to firstly agree with my existing vending operator a bespoke Service Level Agreement and then experiencing the monitoring service they provide, we have experienced a trouble free service for the last 6 months. Where as previously the service delivery was inconsistent, causing a lot of aggravation and frustration”.
“We hired the services of Thirst Link Consulting some 6 months after awarding a 5-year contract to a major vending operator and were amazed by the savings they were able to generate, together with the ability to bring new ideas and vision to a service we had previously just accepted as being the best that could be provided”.
“I would not hesitate to recommend Thirst Link Consulting to businesses that are looking to bring a higher degree of professionalism and specialist industry knowledge to their vending operation. Thirst Link Consulting feel like a trusted extension to my management team who ensure I get the best service at all times”.
