What products can you sell in a vending machine? 🧀

Whether you sell fruit, vegetables, meat, ready meals, ice cream, equipment, local or handmade products… all your items can be sold in our smart locker. This uniqueness is taken into account when our sales team recommends the right locker for you. Our solution has the advantage of adapting to all types of sales.

Your custom vending machine and temperature control ❄️

A dry locker, a refrigerated locker, a frozen locker, or a mix of all three—you have complete flexibility. We design the locker best suited to your needs. Have fresh products? Choose our refrigerated module, which keeps your products at the right temperature while meeting food safety standards. Starting an artisanal ice cream business? Our frozen locker is perfect for selling your products at the ideal temperature. Selling both dry and fresh products? No problem. You can combine locker units with different storage types.

How to choose the right configuration for a vending machine? ⚙️

Design your locker setup according to your business, your sales volume, and the space you have available. Since every project is unique, several module formats are available to perfectly match your needs.

You can choose from different configurations:

  • 15, 21, 24, or 28-locker modules for standard installations.
  • Compact formats with 10 or 14 lockers, ideal for small spaces or for starting a business.

Your customized vending machine: choose your front panel color! 🎨

If you don’t want your vending machine to remain white, you can choose a front panel color from 12 available options. Our colors are specifically designed to match metal equipment and ensure long-lasting durability. The color can be selected to attract your customers’ attention, enhance your installation, or match your type of products (for example: red for a meat vending machine).

Customize your vending machine header with tailor-made signage strips 👨‍🎨

Our graphic designer will work closely with you to create a brand identity for your vending business. Everything is printed on magnetic strips placed at the top of your machine to catch your customers’ attention. Highlight your values, your products, your name, your message… Be visible and boost your sales!

Your custom vending machine, even over time… 🛠️

As your business grows and you gain experience, if you’re satisfied with our technology, you can always plan an expansion or extension. Our vending machines are scalable, allowing you to connect new modules to your ordering terminal. In addition, thanks to continuous product improvements, your new units will benefit from the latest technologies, constantly enhancing the service.

What options can optimize your custom vending machine? 🚀

We have recently introduced two major innovations to our solution: the rotating tray and the dual-dispensing hatch. Both are designed to optimize your sales space and reduce restocking time. This allows our customers to choose these options before manufacturing their locker, enabling them to offer 2 to 3 products within the same sales compartment. A real advancement that enhances the service and makes daily use and management easier.

Your vending machine for purchase or rental: a tailored service 💳

Whether for budget considerations or short-, medium-, or long-term planning, the option to purchase or rent your smart locker is available. Depending on your financing capabilities, each option offers significant advantages. Another way for Automat-e to tailor its service.

Your shop building to house your custom vending machine 🏪

To go even further, we offer you the opportunity to create a real shop thanks to our shelters, designed to welcome your customers in the best conditions. You can choose to rent or purchase your modular building, in wood or metal, also customizable to match your locker’s colors. A great way to complete our service and provide you with a turnkey, ready-to-use solution!

Custom-built: a range of options for your made-to-measure vending machine 💡

Take advantage of several options to simplify the day-to-day management of your vending locker.

Among them, the anti-waste feature helps optimize product rotation and reduce food waste. The remote management software, Le Kiosque, gives you access to precise insights on your sales and activity. Finally, the automated barcode kit makes restocking your lockers easier, saving you time every day.

Practical, well-designed solutions created to make managing your point of sale easier.
