Still, searching for shrapnel? Still, painfully waiting for your product to dispense? Still wasting money on out-of-date, or broken items. Do you still use a snack vending machine?

These are just a few things that make you want to do the extra travel to a shop to get the things you want. Where the convenient coffee vending machine should be making your life easier it’s not. It’s time to dust the cobwebs off your unused bean to cup vending machine and bring it up to speed on what’s been changing in the vending industry. 

Self Serve Vending machines have been on the market for many decades and have gone through so many transformations. But when the vending started popping up in businesses, such as hospitals, office blocks, and manufacturing sites there was a huge task on the hands of these machines to provide refreshments to people every day.

It had to be reliable, and maintained, making sure the job is getting done. Unfortunately, after a while, these new office vending machines on these sites would break down and have no stock and they could have been like that for days.

People would become impatient, and annoyed, even damaging the snack machine more by using physical force. One of the points of the company industrial vending machine is to provide snacks and drinks within seconds. They can’t be working 50%, 40%, 30%… of the time.

Another disadvantage to vending equipment 5 -10 years ago was the only pay was via cash. However, there was the technology available to pay contactless. Smart Vending machines were running behind in the race to be technological advance.
