Multimedia interactivity with large touch display will attract more attention and will be very appealing to the potential customers, thus increase sales of the products.

Accepting both cash and cashless payment such as debit/credit cards, mobile payment, internet payment and so on will provide convenience to the customers and indirectly promote more sales, besides encouraging the sales of higher value items.

The adoption of digital signage will generate a new source of advertising income for vending operators, leveraging on the high-traffic location of the smart vending machines and interactive payment kiosks. Targeted ads can be displayed based on the locations and sales history of the smart vending machines and payment kiosks.

With video analytics, the smart vending machine plays ads and promotes products based on the viewer’s demographics such as gender and age group. When customers approach the smart vending machine or payment kiosk, Vendron's video analytics function can also make recommendations based on their demographics of gender and age groups, or what they just purchased, for cross-selling purposes.



Telemetry capability will also allow faster ROI of the deployment. Vendron^TM provides remote accessibility to the smart vending machine's and payment kiosk's operation status such as alerts when the machine is stuck, vandalized, out of stock and so on. The vending operators can also remotely access to the inventory level of the stock. Therefore the service and restocking route can be optimized to maximize efficiency by reducing labor and fuel costs.

Over the internet, Vendron^TM and Vendron^TM Cloud provide the features for remote manageability of the intelligent vending machines and payment kiosks. Software updates and content management for digital signage, interactive screen content and themes can be accomplished remotely and securely for any number of smart vending machines and payment kiosks.
