Intelligent Vending – Looking Forward to the Future

The vending industry operates in a difficult economic climate and even the largest players have faced tough challenges in recent months. Intelligent Vending has responded energetically to the rapidly changing market conditions by reviewing internal operations and establishing a new strategy that will enable us to deliver services more effectively.

Our most significant change is the launch of our new website, which has been designed to be as intuitive and informative as possible and also features an online shop for UK mainland customers. We hope this will help consumers to quickly and effectively identify and purchase or lease the products which best meet their needs.

Of course, for consumers who require advice and support prior to committing to a purchase, there is still the same access to high quality advice and consultancy as always.

Another great feature of our new website is our unique online ‘lease cart’ finance ordering system. Benefits of this system include a breakdown of projected payments and potential tax savings, while also providing users with the ability to submit, review and track finance orders from their account at any time. As far as we are aware, we are the first vending company on the globe to offer this functionality.

The automated nature of this new approach will reduce company overheads and streamline processes; allowing us to pass on savings to our clients and focus on core business activities such as export and bespoke projects. We are confident these changes will enable us to further improve our service to all customers, whether they are small or overseas businesses, charities or large corporate organisations.

This is a challenging but very exciting time for the vending industry with many possibilities opening up. Intelligent Vending intends to be a significant force in its field and be at the forefront of exploiting new opportunities.

PPE Vending Machines

Check out the latest addition to our website – PPE vending machines.

PPE or Personal Protective Equipment is something many companies deal with on a daily basis. It is essential equipment for many to help ensure the health and safety of employees.

There are a number of regulations governing PPE access and availability within companies, so it is an area which cannot be overlooked.

Monitoring and tracking stock of equipment can be a nightmare for the employer. This is often due to poorly managed processes taking up valuable time and resources, which can also lead to loss of equipment. Inevitably this leads to new stock purchase and higher outgoings.

We at Intelligent Vending Ltd have been providing PPE vending machines and engineering component vending machines to the industry for some time; however we have now added this new page to our website to showcase our services.

Our PPE vending machines are extremely comprehensive in their feature set. They can be integrated with almost any existing card system, offer full telemetry and audit systems, and are even compatible with contactless biometric systems.

PPE vending is a fantastic solution to the problem of mismanaged equipment as it requires minimal staff input and provides a solid system for PPE control. Also, providing such easy access to personal protective equipment to staff is a great way to demonstrate compliance with health and safety regulations.

Vending Boxes – Ideal Packaging for Vending Machine Products

If you are looking for boxes to package your products properly for vending machines, check out the latest page on our website: vending boxes.

The vending machine boxes we offer are suitable for a wide range of product shapes and sizes, and are an essential requirement for anyone selling irregular shaped products through vending machines.

Packaging products in boxes dramatically increases vending reliability. Not only this, our flat folding boxes can be personalised, providing opportunities for branding and advertising.

While generally most applicable to wall mounted vending machines, there are times when even typical spiral vending machines are not able to dependably handle the dimensions or shapes of some more unusual products.

For more information on product packaging options, please visit the vending boxes page, or feel free to contact us and we will be happy to discuss your requirements in more detail.

Bag in Box Water Coolers

We have just added a new section to our website for Bag-in-Box water coolers. The Bag-in-Box (BiB) concept is a relatively new application for water coolers in the UK, and provides many advantages over traditional bottled water coolers (as do our POU water coolers).

Especially important in these carbon conscious times are the numerous economical and environmental benefits provided by the bag in box method. As time goes on and environmental factors become more important, so will the issue of the high carbon footprint left by bottled water cooler systems. The bag in box water cooler process is much more environmentally friendly, while also being more hygienic, practical and cost effective. Oh and did we mention, getting rid of the bottles makes water coolers look much … cooler!

For more information on the advantages of bag in box water coolers, and to see the models we have on offer, please visit our: Bag in Box Water Coolers page.

Air Purification Systems: Breathe Easy with Sterilized Air

If you are familiar with stuffy offices, you are probably aware of the ill effects they can have on health and general well being. Offices are often highlighted as areas with high levels of bacteria – they can be a haven for germs to breed.

There are various ways the spread of bacteria can be reduced in office environments. An obvious help is keeping all floors and surfaces clean. Computers (especially keyboards/mice) and telephones are some of the worst culprits for harboring large amounts of germs, so regular cleaning of these is essential for good office health.

Though, perhaps the most significant risk from bacterial infection arises from shared air – an environmental factor typical to most offices. With numerous people breathing the same air, it is only a matter of time before one person with a cold or slight illness inadvertently spreads it to others. Industrial buildings or places which use products such as strong inks can also circulate harmful substances which are damaging to health.

At Intelligent Vending we offer vending solutions which help purify the air around you.

Our air sterilizers filter and clean the air by using powerful UVc rays to destroy harmful microbes. The result is air which is noticeably fresher, cleaner – and perhaps most importantly – safer.

Top Quality Vending

Vending machines are fantastic products. Not only are they great for a business as they generate extra revenue, but they are also great from a customer’s perspective as they are convenient and easy to use.

There is a much wider range of goods available from vending machines today, than ever before. Not only are the products more diverse, there is a dramatic increase in vending machines stocked with higher quality items. A good vending company will advise on product choice and supplier and will guide you in the right direction for building your own vending machine success.

Industry experts know just how important it is for our customers to have flexibility in their vending and we aim to assist them in this wherever possible. Many of our customers have strong beliefs or preferences and these can be met in many different ways.

For example, many fair trade suppliers are now offering food and drink products for vending machines. Stocking fair trade products not only benefits the owner of the vending machine, but also the customers, as they are giving back a little from something which they would be purchasing anyway.

Many different types of products are now being stocked in vending machines, as the vending industry steers away from just offering food and drink. While this can be a great way to innovate and generate more profit, it is vitally important to ensure you research and comply with any health & safety or licensing requirements which may be applicable to the products, prior to making them available for sale from your vending machines.

At Intelligent Vending Ltd we have an expert team of customer service advisors to help you with all your vending needs, so no matter how weird or unusual your choice of product, there is a vending option for you.
