Our Machines

Old-school vending machines are clunky, limited, and often more frustrating than helpful. We’re here to change that.

Our company uses brand new, state of the art smart vending machines to bring vending into the modern age. These AI-powered machines can recognize products using image recognition, which means we can stock a wider variety of items — from snacks and drinks to fresh meals and glass-bottled beverages.

What makes our machines different:

  • Smaller Footprint: Our machines have a significantly smaller footprint than traditional vending machines, making it easier to fit into compact spaces without compromising performance.

    • Our machine size:

      • 22.8” x 28’ x 76”

    • Traditional machine size:

      • 37” x 35.5” x 72”

    • Our machine capacity:

      • 245 bottles

    • Traditional machine capacity:

      • 288 bottles

  • Touchscreen displays for a smooth, user-friendly experience

  • Mobile payments for quick and contactless checkout

  • Real-time inventory tracking to keep shelves stocked and customers happy

  • Reliable performance designed to run efficiently day after day

No more stuck snacks or outdated tech — just fast, smart, and seamless convenience.

The future of vending, today.
