A method of providing a service operation event notification is described. The method comprises: receiving at a management application an indication of a service event at a media terminal, where the indication includes (i) a service event type and (ii) a service event time; and updating the management application to record the type of event and a time associated with that event. The service event type may be an “engineer arrived” event, an “engineer left” event, or a replenishment scheduled event.
