REAL Remote Automated Vendors with Reporting Now Available!!

Merchants! If you sell anything in SL, PLEASE take a moment to read this!

Do you ever get tired of endlessly updating your vendors, going through hours of toil to change some prices or add a few new items?

Do you want detailed reports of who bought what and from which vendor?

Your search is over, your headaches are gone! STOP doing mindless maintenance, and spend more time creating, selling and interacting with our fellow SL'ers!

My new vending system is based entriely in LSL, meaning you need no access to external servers, and no knowledge of scripting or programming of any kind. You can update a multitude of vendors with 100's of new roducts and/or prices in a matter of SECONDS! Voice command driven, the TrentVend system allows you to add or remove any number of vendors throughout the SL world simply by rezzing them!

Get your sales reports by email at any interval you wish - or simply ask the server for an interim report any time you want! (great for people at
work with access to email - but no accesss to second life!)

I will be holding an information session VERY SOON with more details and pricing info, but please feel free to consult me in game or in the forums with any questions. If you'd like to get a look at the system in operation - stop by my shop in Callisto - TRENT CYCLE near the pandora
vehicle rezzing site on the highway. My vendors all run the system, and the server is sitting on display in the showroom next to the large video vendor.

I am committed to bringing you quality products that work the way YOU
want them too, any and all suggestions will be considered. Customizations
for certain clients are always available.

I urge you merchants to have a look at the system and consider the time-saving
possibilities it affords you when making your choice for a vending system.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to your feedback!

This sounds like a great system. I would buy it instantly depending on one question.

Is there a Monthly fee?

If there is no monthly fee I would buy Instantly. :)

NO MONTHLY FEE :)

Quick preface: My system is based entirely in LSL and it WORKS wonderfully. I have a few people testing it and they are amazed. Not trying to brag, just getting some great feedback so far...

that said, A lot of people are building things with RPC, and with good reason, it's flexible and allows a lot of creativity, BUT - it also means there are services OUTSIDE SL that most players either dont have access to, dont know how to administer - or just dont want to pay for. Those who know how are charging others monthly for the use of their services.

I wanted to build a system which would 'look after itself' and run entirely in-game while still giving the merchant the flexibility of the RPC systems. i think I have done that.

Reporting, scalability and speed are it's strong points, and I'd love to show it off to anyone interested in the system.

I haven't yet settled on a price - but I am open to comments on that :)

Please contact me, keep this thread going, or stop by the shop in Callisto to see the demonstration machine.

I am excited about this project, I hope others are too!

Trent.
