Everything a route operator needs

Built by an operator, for operators. No spreadsheets, no manual math. Just upload and go.

Trend charts

Week-over-week plays, earnings, and ball time for every machine on your route. Spot your earners and your underperformers at a glance.

Power-on health watch

Set expected weekly hours per location. Get flagged when a machine runs short. Catch an unplugged game before you lose a week of earnings.

Simple CSV upload

Drop in your weekly Stern audit files, one or many at a time. Duplicate detection keeps your history clean automatically.

Per-location breakdowns

View charts by venue. See which location is carrying the route and which machines are underperforming at each spot.

Earnings tracking

Optional encrypted earnings storage. Enable it to see dollar-per-week trends. Disable it and your data is immediately and permanently deleted.

Public API

Send audit data directly from scripts or your own tooling with a simple REST API. API key management is built in.

Live technician alerts

Stern fault alerts appear on your dashboard, grouped by location and machine. Resolved faults turn green once the issue clears.

Alert email digest

New faults and coin door events hit your inbox within minutes of the fetch script running. Alerts are grouped by location. Add up to 3 recipients — useful when different techs cover different venues.

Coin door security log

Every coin door open event is logged permanently per machine. A complete, tamper-evident service history for every game on your route.

Automated fetch

Our free fetch script checks for tech alerts every few hours and downloads your weekly CSV on Thursdays. No manual portal visits needed.

Two-factor authentication

Optional TOTP-based 2FA for every account. Scan a QR code with any authenticator app and your dashboard requires a second factor to access.

Up and running in minutes

No software to install, no configuration required.

Download your audits

Log in to the Stern Insider Connected Pro operator portal and download your weekly audit CSV files for each location on your route.

Upload to the dashboard

Drop one or more CSV files into the upload page. The parser handles normalization, deduplication, and encryption automatically.

Read your charts

Trend charts update immediately. Check plays, earnings, ball time, and power-on health for every machine on your route.

Want to automate it? Our free fetch script pulls tech alerts every few hours and downloads your weekly CSV automatically. Find it in the API docs after signing up.
