Digital advertising
Turn every screen into a communication channel.
VendSmart replaces static keypads with a modern touchscreen designed as part of the user interface from inception. The screen functions as an interactive commercial platform capable of:
- Delivering targeted promotions
- Adjusting content dynamically
- Supporting upselling and cross-selling
- Hosting digital advertising campaigns
- Improving accessibility and navigation
Retail
Expand your retail offering
Vending no longer has to mean crisps and fizzy drinks.
Smart retail machines can be used to sell higher-value products securely, allowing leisure operators to create compact automated pro shops in receptions, gym floors, corridors and court areas.
This could include headphones, fitness trackers, sports accessories, supplements, clothing and branded merchandise.
Products remain securely enclosed until purchased, helping reduce shrinkage while allowing the retail offer to operate 24/7.
Award Winning Partnership

For sites that need reliable out-of-hours access, SubZero provides a flexible 24/7 refreshment solution for staff, patients and visitors.
It can help extend access to hot food, beyond staffed catering hours, making it ideal for busy hospital environments where demand continues around the clock.
Through our partnership with Oakhouse Foods, we can offer a wider range of high-quality, award-winning frozen meals designed to provide convenient and reliable food options within healthcare environments.
The range includes a variety of meals to suit different tastes and dietary requirements, helping hospitals and care settings extend their food offer beyond traditional catering hours.

Automated Retail Lockers
Smart lockers
VendSmart Lockers can be installed as a standalone solution or integrated directly alongside a vending machine to create one seamless self-service retail point.
This gives you the flexibility to combine traditional vending with secure collection, larger products or items that do not suit a standard vending format. Customers can purchase from the vending machine, collect from a locker, or use both within the same branded setup.
Key Benefits:
- Standalone locker installations
- Integrated vending and locker solutions
- Ideal for larger or higher-value products
- Creates one complete 24/7 self-service areas
- Can be branded to match your organisation
