| Do you have any vending machine manufacturers to introduce that can support Vendron technology? |
Yes. Please refer this link for the Marketplace.
| I have decided to order the machine from a machine OEM. May I know how is the process going on? |
You just need to provide us the shipping address of your selected machine OEM and we will ship the Vendron device to the OEM factory for them to install into the machines and test with the machines before shipping out to the end customers.
| I have existing touch screen vending machines that come with software from different parties. Can I just use Vendron on these machines? |
Yes. You can. If your existing machine’s PC specification is compatible with the minimum requirements to run Vendron software, you can purchase Vendron runtime software license from us where we will provide you the software installer to setup into your machine’s PC. Alternatively, you may also replace the existing machine’s PC with one of our Vendron Boxes.
| Can Vendron Box accept cash or credit card payment? |
Yes, Vendron Box with its MDB interface device is ready to connect to any MDB coin changer, bill acceptor and compatible cashless payment terminal right away (plug-and-play).
| Can I change the content on the screen such as the product photos and the advertisement video? |
Yes, you can manage all your product photos and advertisement video contents from Vendron Cloud easily. For the advertisement video, you can upload your video to Vendron Cloud and schedule when it should play in the machines and which machines to play, and then it will automatically sync to all the relevant machines. After that it will also sync back the actual play logs to Vendron Cloud for your further analysis and reportings.
| Can I change the layout of the screen, such as make the video appear above or somewhere else? |
Yes, you can change the screen layout accordingly. Please see the 2 screenshots below in different layouts.
| The machine settings (price changes, images, videos, product details, etc) can also be configured remotely? |
Yes, all these are done from Vendron Cloud remotely and synced to your multiple machines based on your settings.
| Is it possible to see (in the case where the machine no longer sells) why it no longer sells (network, mechanical problem, electronic problem ….) as well as the reason of failure? |
Whenever there is an abnormal situation occurred, like no sales for some time, you will be alerted in the dashboard. If there is any problem related to the machines detected such as payment device error and so on, you should also receive machine event alert from Vendron Cloud. Same for mechanical problem if it's detected, you will receive alert as well. All the possible error messages that we can get from the machine will be visible from Vendron Cloud. Take note that reasons of failure is normally not straight-forward. But most of the customers can know what parts to bring to the machine for repair/servicing when they knew the errors upfront. It helped them save lots of precious time and trip cost to attend to the machine.
| Can Silkron provide any customization? |
Yes. Silkron can provide customizations based on your requirements, subject to a one-time development and integration cost. You may let us know what is the storyboard (for UI customization), process flow and detailed requirements for your project. Along the way, we may also provide some suggestions based on your project.
| We would like to host Vendron Cloud on our own designated cloud infrastructure such as AWS, Azure or etc. Is that possible? |

Please contact us for more details.
