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.
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.
The machine
Dispense firmware, sensors, and a cashless payment terminal, built into the hardware or retrofitted onto machines you already run.
The connection
Every machine streams telemetry to the cloud in real time: stock levels, sales, temperature, and machine health, online or offline.
The platform
Inventory, sales and profit and loss, low-stock alerts, and route and restock-trip planning, all in one management layer.
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.
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
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
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
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

How the work runs
Tell us what you need
A short written brief is enough to start: what you are building, the stack it has to live in, and the problem behind it. Someone technical reads it, not a sales rep.
passed when we reply with questions and a proposed shape
Scope and quote
We agree what the first release contains and what it costs before anything is built. Anything we cannot estimate honestly gets scoped on its own rather than padded into the total.
passed when the scope and the quote are agreed
Build in the open
Working software arrives in increments, in your repository, with our commits visible from the first week. Progress is something you can open and run, not a status report.
passed when a real user is doing a real job in it
Iterate, then hand over
What the first release teaches sets the priority for the next one. When you want it in house, documentation and a handover period are part of the engagement rather than an extra.
passed when your team can run it without us
How pricing works
Fixed price per milestone
You approve each milestone and its price before it starts, so the cost is known before the work is rather than after. Milestones are sized to be worth reviewing on their own.
Monthly rate for a dedicated team
A set team at a set monthly cost, with notice rather than a minimum term. Priorities move between sprints without renegotiating anything.
Scoping first, quote after
We work out what it should be with you before quoting it. There is no charge for that conversation and no obligation to go ahead.
