Connected hardware

Vending machine software, designed, built, and deployed.

Where software meets the physical world.

We build connected vending machines end to end: the hardware integration, the dispense firmware, the cashless payment layer, and a management platform with a live machine map, real-time sales and profit and loss, inventory and low-stock alerts, route and restock-trip planning, and AI insights. From a single proof of concept to a fleet rollout, on new machines or retrofits.

how it works

From a single machine to a connected fleet.

The same system, built end to end: the hardware on the floor, the signal to the cloud, the software that runs it, and the dashboard you watch it from.

  1. The machine

    Dispense firmware, sensors, and a cashless payment terminal, built into the hardware or retrofitted onto machines you already run.

  2. The connection

    Every machine streams telemetry to the cloud in real time: stock levels, sales, temperature, and machine health, online or offline.

  3. The platform

    Inventory, sales and profit and loss, low-stock alerts, and route and restock-trip planning, all in one management layer.

  4. The dashboard

    A live machine map, real-time revenue, and AI insights across the whole fleet, from one screen.

The kinds of vending machines we build software for

Vending looks different for every product and venue. These are the machine types we work in most, each tailored to the items being sold, the footprint, and how customers pay and interact.

01

Smart coolers and grab-and-go fridges

Open-door, just-walk-out coolers that detect what a customer takes using a mix of weight sensors, cameras, and computer vision, then charge automatically. Ideal for fresh food, drinks, and convenience retail.

  • Weight and vision based product detection
  • Tap to unlock with card, wallet, or app
  • Automatic charge on door close
  • Real-time stock and shrinkage tracking
02

Micro-markets

Unattended retail spaces with open shelving and a self-checkout kiosk, for offices, gyms, and residential lobbies. More SKUs and a better browsing experience than a traditional machine.

  • Self-checkout kiosk with barcode and scale
  • Account, payroll deduct, and prepaid options
  • Theft deterrence and camera monitoring
  • Planogram and restock management
03

Automated retail and vending machines

Classic spiral, belt, and locker style machines made smart, with touchscreen ordering, cashless payment, and remote monitoring. We build the firmware and the management layer, or retrofit existing machines.

  • Touchscreen ordering and upsell flows
  • Cashless and QR payments
  • Motor and dispense control firmware
  • Remote price and planogram updates
04

Robotic and automated food machines

Machines that prepare and serve, such as coffee robots, fresh food dispensers, and automated kitchens. We handle motion control, recipe sequencing, food-safety logic, and the ordering experience.

  • Recipe sequencing and motion control
  • Temperature and food-safety monitoring
  • Order ahead and queue management
  • Ingredient level tracking and alerts
