Vending Machines

Vending Machines: Overview

Vending machines are a valuable resource for businesses and organisations worldwide. Not only can vending machines offer exceptional service to staff and visitors, they are also a great way to generate additional profits and market new products. In a working environment, vending machines are a convenient solution for staff - reducing time spent in kitchen areas or off-site visiting local retail outlets. A further advantage of vending machines is the significant boost in staff morale brought about by a happy workforce.

Vending machines also offer a great retail and marketing solution for new goods and consumables. Vending machines have significantly progressed over recent years, enabling virtually unlimited possibilities for new products to be vended. With a range of payment systems now available on the market, high value goods can now be purchased through vending machines. Such machines are becoming increasingly commonplace on the market.

Our Vending Machine Provision

Intelligent Vending Ltd has gained a strong reputation with its customers for delivering a flexible and responsive vending machine service. Customers tell us about their vending needs and we identify the machine or product that most closely matches their requirements. Intelligent Vending Ltd then deliver the package that fits the bill, from a wide range of vending machine manufacturers in the UK, or internationally if appropriate. Intelligent Vending Ltd is fast becoming the first choice vending company for customers with both straightforward and more challenging vending machine requirements. With a huge number of vending machines for sale, we're sure to have something to suit your needs.

Specialised vending machine solutions

Tell us what you want to sell from your vending machine (within reason!), and Intelligent Vending Ltd will push the boundaries to meet your requirements as quickly and efficiently as possible. You would be surprised at some of the things that Intelligent Vending Ltd have shown can be delivered through vending machines! Most items, whatever their shape and composition, can be vended with suitable packaging.

Intelligent Vending Ltd specialises in translating vending ideas into practical solutions that are marketable in the real world. As a provider of turnkey solutions within the vending industry we see ourselves as market leaders. Whereas many vending companies concentrate on a few static products, and operate to traditional industry norms, Intelligent Vending Ltd loves nothing better than to tackle new challenges presented by its customers and solve problems imaginatively and with innovation. We are not, however, quick win artists; we take pride in producing long term vending solutions that are sustainable within our clients' business environment.

We typically work with a close and trusted network of specialist vending and system consultants, including from overseas, in order to bring the widest range of knowledge and experience to the table. This has particular benefits when we are tackling complex vending machine design projects and for problem solving. You know when you commission Intelligent Vending Ltd to assist your business, that you are bringing together some of the best skills available within the vending industry.

Notwithstanding the confidence that lies behind the above, we are always honest with our customers. If it's simply not possible to achieve the desired vending machine solution for an economic and viable price, we will say so at the earliest stage. Customers should realise, however, that developing bespoke vending solutions is not normally cheap or straightforward, particularly when small numbers of vending machines are required.

Due to the nature of this side of our business we are often asked to enter into confidentiality agreements with our clients (non disclosure agreements or NDAs). As we do not operate vending machines ourselves, we are not in direct competition with any of our clients, so rest assured we will not steal your ideas and intellectual property.

Some of our recent projects include customised vending machine solutions to dispense: stationery packs (pens, pencils, rubbers, calculators, printer cartridges, USB memory sticks, batteries, CD-Rs, writing sets, highlighters, staplers, hole-punches, Pritsticks and many more); personal protective equipment (PPE) and engineering components with stock control and management systems; industrial vending; cosmetics, sun creams, moisturisers and perfumes; a wide range of novelty products (for bar and nightclub environments); sports and nutritional products such as protein shakes and energy bars; plus many more.

Developments in the vending industry

In the past few years there has been a significant shift towards healthier food, snacks and drinks, a search for more sustainable and fair-trade vending products, a move to more energy efficient vending machines, and the potential for much greater re-cycling of disposables. Alongside these changes, the vending industry has seen a noticeable shift from the very big corporate players towards smaller, more responsive and flexible vending machine companies.

The current economic environment, although challenging and difficult, provides good opportunities to develop new vending ideas and innovative ways of working. Although the vending machine market place is very competitive, new concepts and ideas can prove very profitable for our entrepreneurial clients. Vending has, and will always provide, 24 hour retail solutions that require far less investment than other forms of retail.
