How to Scale Your Amusement Machine Operations with SMART Software

The amusement industry is experiencing a resurgence—one driven by modern venues, digital gameplay, and the strategic placement of amusement machines in bars, arcades, and retail spaces across the country. For operators, this momentum presents a golden opportunity to scale. But without the right infrastructure in place, growing your amusement business can quickly turn chaotic.

From scattered machine data to complex revenue splits and compliance tracking, the road to growth is filled with operational pitfalls. That’s where SMART Software steps in—built specifically to support amusement machine businesses as they expand.

Amusement machine operations may seem straightforward, but as your footprint grows, so do the challenges. Many operators struggle with:

• Data fragmentation across locations: Managing jukeboxes, dart boards, and arcade cabinets in 3 cities—or 30—can become a logistical nightmare without a centralized system.
• Inconsistent revenue tracking: When locations use different processes or systems, accurate reporting becomes nearly impossible.
• Manual collection and fee errors: Spreadsheets don’t scale. As machines and partners increase, so do opportunities for mistakes.
• Limited remote visibility: You can’t be everywhere at once—and if you can’t see what’s happening in real time, it’s hard to make informed decisions.

These roadblocks not only limit growth but also put current operations at risk. SMART Software was purpose-built to solve these exact challenges.

SMART isn’t just another amusement machine management system—it’s your growth partner. Our cloud-based platform unifies all your operational needs into one intuitive dashboard, giving you full control over every location, machine, and revenue stream. Key benefits include:

• Real-time visibility across all locations: View performance, service status, and cash forecasts instantly—no matter where you are.

• Automated fee tracking and collections: Eliminate human error with built-in tools that calculate taxes, commissions, and collections by contract or machine.
• Scalable access control: Use role-based permissions to give owners, staff, and partners access only to what they need.
