A worldwide trend, the vending machine makes shopping remarkably easy. The convenience benefits both consumers and merchants. It’s a promising investment, especially now with shifting habits and ways of consuming, in a landscape where technology is proving more essential than ever in retail. <\/span><\/p>\n

Japan has more than 5 million vending machines, Europe has 3 million, and the US has 3.5 million. In Brazil, meanwhile, the segment counts approximately 100,000 machines, generating R$ 700 million, according to the Brazilian Association of Automatic Sales (ABVA). If you’ve been thinking about investing in a vending machine, now is the time! <\/span><\/p>\n

Check out the advantages of this promising business:<\/span><\/p>\n

Product variety<\/b><\/h4>\n

There are many categories of vending machines, ranging from all kinds of food and beverages to books and even electronics. Coffee machines, for example, can serve a wide range of flavors. We recently developed technology for <\/span>automated coffee machines<\/span><\/a> that serve cold beverages. Our machines feature an interactive panel where users can rate the drinks, leaving a score (from 1 to 5 stars) for data analysis. <\/span><\/p>\n

Business opportunity<\/b><\/h4>\n

Vending machines are installed in strategic, high-traffic locations: they can be found in subway stations and business settings such as offices, hospitals, and clinics, and they’re also great for events. Another advantage is that they don’t require any marketing campaign for mass promotion. They can be an opportunity for extra sales, complementing the services and products within your business. <\/span><\/p>\n

Great cost-benefit<\/b><\/h4>\n

Consider that you won’t have to pay expensive commercial rent or hire staff. A vending machine operates 24 hours a day and is fully automated.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s all about savings and peace of mind for you and for the consumer, who gets a wider variety of products and a quick, easy <\/span>shopping experience<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Maintenance<\/b><\/h4>\n

There are two ways to acquire a vending machine: you can buy or rent it. The advantage of renting is that you’ll have all maintenance services available whenever you need them, hassle-free. All technical support is the responsibility of the contracted company, which provides a specialized team, and you can also count on new equipment from time to time. Your only concern will be restocking the machine and pricing the products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find your market<\/b><\/h4>\n

If you don’t yet know where to place a vending machine or which products to invest in, start with market research to find out which segment is most profitable. Machines offering canned drinks and snacks, such as chips, cookies, and chocolate bars, are the most popular. <\/span><\/p>\n

Technology and design<\/b><\/h4>\n

For large companies, vending machines are also an excellent way to deliver technology and innovation in retail. That was the case with AMBEV, which relied on our expertise to bring the AMA project to life. We developed the <\/span>Interactive Vending Machine<\/span><\/a> not only to make the brand stand out, but to create an emotional connection at the moment of purchase. The machine invites reflection on the theme of social business, demonstrating its positive impact in practice with every sale while entertaining the consumer.<\/span><\/p>\n
