Our choice

Why we only offer AI smart coolers

We left the traditional vending machine behind on purpose. Here is what that changes for your building.

The traditional vending machine

What we left behind

  • Coils to break
  • Items getting stuck
  • Cash getting eaten
  • A clunky looking machine

An AI smart cooler

What we place instead

  • Tap a card or phone to unlock
  • Take what you want and close the door
  • Cameras charge only for what you take
  • Very sleek, modern and easy to use
