Editable XLSX file with an included Start Here tab. Use a compatible spreadsheet app and review formulas after opening.

What this file helps you do

Record the whole machine result

MachinePL includes transaction value and volume, product cost, shrink, returns, rent, commission and processing fees. These separate lines help explain why collections and retained profit differ.

Keep losses traceable

ShrinkTracker records a machine, month, loss type, product, units and cost, with notes for action taken. That detail gives you something to investigate when inventory and sales do not reconcile.

Maintain product and service records

Inventory captures costs, prices, units and sales while Route keeps service dates and restock priorities. The dashboard provides a summary of the workbook’s entered operating figures.

The file does not authenticate products, value collectibles or detect theft. All stock, transaction and loss information is manually supplied.

A closer look

How does it differ from the collectibles calculator?

This workbook tracks machines and ongoing operations. The Collectibles Margin Calculator focuses on individual pack costs, selling prices and processing fees, with a separate assumed-value analysis.
