Posted at 04/5/2023 15:01 by masurenguy "Brulines, the cellar monitoring equipment supplier, had a difficult time with pub closures but it’s swinging back now. Its tech remotely monitors and records the total volume of liquid that passes through the beer lines 24 hours a day at around a third of UK pubs. The tech is unique and advanced: they are now a significant player in monitoring vending machines in the UK and US."Lord Lee: 4 May 2023: MoneyWeek. LOL - he obviously overlooked the fact that Brulines changed its name to Vianet 11 years ago ! Nevertheless he is still a shrewd investor. 👍 |

Posted at 18/11/2022 12:08 by jeffian I find these investor presentations very good. |
Posted at 04/11/2021 10:13 by celeritas The at best seller was given a raw deal the other day, a few others then see the move and panic. Take advantage if you can and go against you natural instincts which to most investors is fright. The update was good, business is much better, only negative was supply of parts but like toilet roll I expect the supply issues to normal out over the coming months. |
Posted at 22/9/2021 16:44 by celeritas I really think vnet is a forgotten about stock, it just needs dusting off and sticking to the front of the shelf so investors can observe it. Smart machines is just the right space now, I can only see growing significantly over the coming years. |
Posted at 29/12/2020 14:29 by boonkoh Can't believe this keeps dropping like a stone.Either there's a fundraising in the background and info has leaked, or investors are afraid of further Tier 4 impact in Jan-Mar on Smart Zone revenues. |
Posted at 14/11/2019 09:21 by crazycoops Well hello jeffian(pet), I trust you are well. I bought into VNET a couple of months back and added after the trading update. I first discovered it after it came up on my Stockopedia screens where it is currently rating as a Super Stock. The shares are pretty illiquid so it doesn't take much volume to shift the price, which seems to be the case at the moment. I am not reading anything into it other than a few retail investors spotting the value and growth potential. |
Posted at 27/10/2019 11:34 by jeffian Thank you, galeforce1. My company was one of the first to adopt the beer monitoring technology and I was an earlier investor in the previous ill-fated (well, ill-managed actually) incarnation Comprehensive Business Services which became Brulines, so I felt I knew enough about that side of the business. As you say, it is a useful base 'earner' from which to grow the vending technology business which now seems to have the more exciting prospects. I am also a big fan of companies which maintain a dividend whilst waiting for their growth plans to bear fruit. If the share price is going nowhere for a while, it makes it easier to hold if you are getting some sort of return on your money while you wait. |
Posted at 27/10/2019 08:55 by galeforce1 jeffian - definitely flies below the radar.But on Friday there was an interesting commentary about Vianet on Stockopedia's Small Cap Value Report, which I have copied below in case you haven't seen it. It's very positive, although critical of the company's website which makes it difficult to understand what the company actually does. I agree with this. It took me a while to grasp that 'Smartzones' is the pub measuring business (which is non-growth) and 'Smart Machines' is the vending machine monitoring business (where there is 40% annual revenue growth and loads of potential). Vianet (LON:VNET) Share price: 137p (+3%) No. of shares: 28.5 million Market cap: £39 million Trading Update (Tuesday) This is a "provider of actionable data and business insight through devices connected to its Internet of Things ("IOT") platform". This PLC has been around for a while - since 2006. At its heart is the Brulines business, which records the volume of liquid that passes through beer lines. Trading in H1 is in line with expectations. CEO comment The team has continued to make very good commercial progress, particularly with contract wins for our telemetry and payment solutions in the coffee vending and unattended retail vending market, with solid support from our Smart Zones business which is developing new revenue lines. Double digit growth in the period builds on our successful recent track record and further demonstrates that the strategy of leveraging the power of our cutting edge technology to bring game changing business insight to our customers has exciting prospects." My view I've just spent some time on the company's website and checking its most recent annual report. I'm very excited by what I've read. See its investor relations website. I wanted to remind myself which of its divisions did the beer monitoring, which I understood to be the activity responsible for most of its historical (and present?) profitability. I was presented with two divisions: Smart Machines and Smart Zones. Smart Machines: 5db30e6decc74VNET_20 Hmm. Where's the beer monitoring? Maybe it's in Smart Zones: 5db30ebe8af40VNET_20 Cloud-based, big data in the Internet of Things. Sounds like the perfect investment, doesn't it? There is a reference to flow monitoring in the description of Smart Machines, so I guess this must be it. Ah yes, iDraught: 5db30f5d361faVNET_20 Another investor keyword: "ecosytem". So Vianet provides cloud-based, Big Data ecosystems in the Internet of Things. That's almost everything that I'm looking for in an investment, but I also look for "software as a service". Alas, I could find no reference to "Saas" on Vianet's website. It took a little bit of digging but, thankfully, I was able to find a reference to SaaS on vianetplc.com. Its "Statement of Compliance with the Corporate Governance Code", published last year, dutifully informs us that the company's Directors have the necessary "skills and experience, including in the areas of IOT, b2b, software as a service..." Boom! Vianet makes cloud-based, Big Data, software-as-a-servic If only it could apply itself to a hot sector like crypto or cannabis, then who could resist investing in it? My actual view Vianet looks fairly valued at 14x forward earnings: it has a stable beer monitoring business which is performing ok (even though pubs in general are doing poorly) and other activities which are growing more quickly from a low base. "Smart Machines" (the growing part of the business) made PBT of nearly £1 million last year. Excluding the acquisition it made, profits in this division were £560k and revenue growth was 42%. Has potential. |
