What is a Smart Fridge Vending Machine?

A Smart Fridge vending machine is a secure, refrigerated, self service retail system that gives employees instant access to fresh food, drinks and snacks in the workplace.

Unlike traditional vending machines, a smart fridge vending system uses open access shelving behind a secure locking system, allowing users to browse, select and pay using contactless technology. Where Coinadrink differs from most providers is that our smart fridge vending machines are fully bespoke and run on our own proprietary software platform – developed and maintained entirely in-house. That means we’re not reliant on third-party systems, we can respond faster to client needs, and we have complete control over performance, updates and troubleshooting in a way that off the shelf providers simply cannot match.
