Product selection within categories is important for maximizing sales and profitability. This selection is made on the basis of location of machine, where it is placed and also whether the machine requires bottles or cans. By identifying types of products, such as core products and cyclical products, flexibility and variety can be achieved.

Positioning of vending machine
