Introducing the V21i: Revolutionizing the Vending Industry

When discussing the remarkable V20 on i, it’s impossible not to mention its predecessor, the V21, a stack-styled vending machine that has dominated the market for the past two decades. With a proven track record of reliability, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, the V21 has been a trusted choice for businesses worldwide. Now, building upon this success, we proudly present the V21i, an intelligent, intuitive, and inclusive upgrade.

Intelligence at Its Core

The V21i takes vending machines to a whole new level by incorporating advanced intelligence. With its self-diagnostic capabilities, the machine can identify and notify you of any product temperature irregularities via email notifications or text alerts. This proactive approach allows service technicians to address issues promptly, ensuring optimal performance. Just like cars that provide service dates, the V21i intelligently informs you when a part needs servicing or replacement, preventing unexpected breakdowns.

But that’s not all. Thanks to artificial intelligence, this machine can analyze sales data and provide insights into high and low performing products. This invaluable information empowers route managers to make informed decisions about product replenishment, maximizing revenue and customer satisfaction. The V21i’s intelligence elevates the vending experience to new heights.

Intuitive Design for User-Friendly Experience

Gone are the days of clunky push buttons and outdated programming methods. The V21i introduces a 22-inch touch screen, replacing traditional buttons with a sleek interface. This intuitive design allows users to browse products easily and access dynamic product labels, nutritional facts, and images. All this information can be remotely updated from any laptop or computer, streamlining operations and ensuring accurate product representation.

For service technicians and route managers, programming the machine is now a breeze. The cumbersome four-button programming method is replaced with a simple one-touch menu. With just a press of a button, they can update product labels, adjust pricing, and perform various tasks effortlessly. The V21i’s intuitive interface makes managing the machine a seamless experience.

Inclusivity Redefined

Previously, our vending model involved selling the machine alone, leaving customers to source payment systems, telemeters, and sales and inventory data management from third-party providers. However, with the V21i, we have completely transformed our business model. Now, SandenVendo provides a one-stop solution, offering not only the machine but also all the required hardware for payment systems, telemeters, and modems. This inclusive approach simplifies the process for our customers, saving them time and effort.

Unlocking New Revenue Streams

The V21i is not just a vending machine; it’s a powerful media management and advertising platform. Traditionally, vending machines only generated revenue through product sales. However, with the V21i’s built-in media management software, businesses can now capitalize on digital marketing opportunities. By utilizing the same vending space, operators can run their own campaigns and display advertisements on the machine’s touchscreen. This innovative feature opens up additional revenue streams and expands brand visibility.

Enhanced Security and Age Verification

In today’s world of mobile payments and apps, the V21i seamlessly integrates with mobile phones to verify customers’ ages and authenticate their identities. By downloading an age verification app and completing the registration process, users can scan a QR code at the machine, ensuring compliance with age restrictions for certain products. To prevent fraud, customers are required to take a video selfie while making a purchase. This feature is particularly valuable in venues like stadiums and event centers, reducing wait times and enhancing the overall customer experience.

Effortless Management and Diagnostics

When it comes to managing the V21i, we’ve made it as straightforward as possible. Opening the machine’s door activates the service mode, revealing a comprehensive dashboard. Here, operators can monitor overall sales, product stock levels, and receive real-time notifications via email or text. The column configurations allow for easy product customization and adjustment. Additionally, the V21i provides detailed machine statistics, including vend data, door activity, and temperature graphs for efficient diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Say Goodbye to Paper Manuals

In our commitment to sustainability and convenience, we’ve eliminated the need for paper manuals. Everything you need to know is now conveniently accessible on the machine’s interface. We are continuously working to enhance this feature by enabling direct ordering of replacement parts through the interface, simplifying the maintenance process for owners and service technicians.

Unlock the Potential of Vending with the V21i

With its intelligent features, intuitive design, inclusivity, and innovative revenue streams, the V21i represents the future of vending machines. Embrace the possibilities and transform your vending experience with the V21i by SandenVendo.
