Route Management Solutions
Connect supported machines, review the information available from each location, choose appropriate cashless options, and keep collection records in one IMS environment.
Review, not a guarantee: AXES helps you identify and investigate discrepancies. Alerts are not proof of fraud, and no system guarantees that every loss will be prevented.
One connected IMS. The right modules for every location.
Start with the supported machines and interfaces already in each location. Then match EDGE data delivery, a cashless choice, and collection capability to the workflows that location supports.
This is a location-by-location decision trail, not a mandatory bundle or one price for every product.
01Route Management Solutions
Turn supported machine events and meter differences into information your team can review. Identify a difference, compare the context, and decide where follow-up is needed.
Availability depends on supported machine signals and the deployment. Real-time machine-data visibility requires EDGE Enterprise.
Use available machine activity and accounting information to guide a review in operating context.
Review, not automatic wrongdoing: evidence guides an investigation; it does not label every exception as fraud.
Review supported events in operating context against authorized activity, then decide whether an on-site check is needed.
An alert can reflect normal service activity as well as a possible problem; it is not proof of fraud.
Use Hard Meter, Soft Meter and AXES Meter information as inputs to one traceable reconciliation review.
Compare the sources with collection and operating records before resolving a mismatch.
Alert availability depends on supported machine signals and the deployment. EDGE Standard delivers machine data on a fixed schedule; EDGE Enterprise is required for continuous, real-time machine-data delivery and supported live workflows.
02Route Management Solutions
See supported location states, plan reports around the period being reviewed, and diagnose supported issues before deciding on a service visit.
Illustrative scene artwork—not an AXES software screen.
Review supported location states, identify an offline machine, and prioritize follow-up for a possible connectivity or equipment issue.
The information reflects what the installed EDGE device and supported machine signals can deliver; an offline alert is a prompt for follow-up, not a diagnosis or a universal instant alert.
Choose the reporting cadence that fits the team and period being reviewed.
On demand: Use the latest information already received by IMS.
Scheduled: Configure the regular cadence for operational or accounting work.
Reporting flexibility does not turn scheduled delivery into a live machine feed.
Use a bounded remote workflow to understand what is supported before deciding on a service visit.
03Route Management Solutions
Choose a cashless path by location. Where supported, use KOLLECT for the distinct collection workflow in the same IMS environment; this is not a required upgrade ladder.
Cashless choiceChoose MGE, TITO or Smart Card for the supported hardware, workflow and market at each location.
Collection workflowUse KOLLECT for the supported drop workflow where applicable.
KashME cashless choices
Original AXES KashME cashier-monitor artwork. Product capabilities and the supported configuration should be confirmed for your deployment.
Choose by location: select MGE, TITO or Smart Card for the supported hardware, permitted market and workflow. These are not a compulsory three-step sequence.
MGE can progress to TITO OR Smart Card where supported. MGE and TITO can also coexist across locations in one IMS environment; neither arrangement makes a route-wide migration mandatory.
MGE location choice
For locations unable to support ticket-printer and bill-acceptor infrastructure, MGE provides a printerless option.
Confirm machine compatibility, the cashier workflow and the permitted operating model. Supported SAS and pulse-meter machine interfaces can remain in service where configured; MGE is a location-level choice, not a mandatory prerequisite for every cashless deployment.
TITO location choice
At equipped locations, bill acceptors and ticket printers convert cash into tickets and record ticket activity in IMS.
Supported devices can retain transactions locally when connectivity is interrupted.
TITO paper-out alerts can identify a printer that needs paper replenishment and support location follow-up.
Ticket hardware and an authorized configuration are required. Real-time machine-data analysis still requires EDGE Enterprise; confirm the supported transaction and reconnection workflow with AXES.
Smart Card location choice
Smart Card is an alternative cashless path using a card and in-machine reader rather than a ticket-printer workflow, backed by IMS in the cloud.
Confirm required card readers, supported machines, authorized deployment and market permission for this location. Smart Card does not have to follow TITO, and it is not assumed to be permitted in every market.
Use supported KIK-certified kiosk hardware where the deployment permits it. Depending on the approved configuration, kiosk service can support cashless balance actions and TITO ticket redemption or generation, with kiosk activity connected to IMS alongside machine activity.
Authorized COAM deployments only
For applicable authorized COAM operations, discuss Payline COAM Kiosk for the supported COAM ticket-redemption workflow. It remains a COAM kiosk offering, with deployment requirements to confirm for your locations.
Available functions depend on hardware certification, integration, deployment and jurisdictional authorization. Kiosk and cashless methods are not universally interchangeable or approved.
KOLLECT · Collection at the location
Give an authorized collection agent one supported workflow for the machine readings, cash and accounting decisions that belong together. KOLLECT brings collection information back into IMS instead of leaving the route to reconcile disconnected notes later.
For this drop, use soft and hard meter reads and compare them with the machine and collection record before closing the drop. This collection step is distinct from the earlier AXES Meter reconciliation review.
Record cash and TITO reconciliation, include the float payments and adjustments relevant to the location, and retain the details for a consistent period review.
Within KOLLECT's collection workflow for that drop, handle outstanding loans and balances and apply configured revenue-share rules. Settlement decisions remain alongside the drop record so agents and accounting can review the same period information.
When the drop is complete, create the timestamped collection record and make the period report available with the recorded collection, balances and period totals. Close the drop with the preceding collection actions together.
Live machine-data collection workflow requires IMS with EDGE Enterprise at supported locations.
Confirm the machine signals, connectivity, authorized agent access and collection configuration with AXES. Original product artwork is shown; it is not a promise that every illustrated function is available in every deployment.
A short route-planning guide—not a required pre-demo questionnaire.
01
Review existing machine interfaces, connection reliability, cashless hardware and the collection process. Identify what is supported today and what requires a physical change at the location.
02
Match scheduled delivery or Enterprise real-time delivery to the workflows you need. KOLLECT's supported live workflow requires Enterprise; upgrades must account for installed hardware and connectivity.
03
Choose MGE, TITO or Smart Card by location, add authorized kiosk service where applicable, and configure collection roles and reporting. Connected IMS modules do not mean one mandatory package for every site.
AXES IMS is cloud-managed without an on-site server requirement. Supported machines, EDGE connectivity and any required readers, printers or kiosks remain part of the deployment. Confirm market authorization and the actual configuration before rollout.
Show us your Route, we’ll show you more profit.
Walk us through your locations, machines, cashless preferences and collection process. We will focus on the AXES modules and EDGE configuration relevant to your route; this is an invitation to a route-focused conversation, not a required intake questionnaire.
The demo reviews opportunities for your operation. Results depend on the route, deployment and operating practices; no profit or loss-prevention outcome is guaranteed.
