Fastcorp Chooses Vendekin Controller for DIVI Machines

Fastcorp DIVI Machine

Fastcorp Vending’s next series of DIVI vending machines will incorporate an Intelligent Vending Machine Controller (IVMC) from Vendekin Technologies.  The DIVI vending machine uses robotic, vacuum and user interface technologies to deliver just about any frozen, refrigerated or consumer product.   

Vendekin’s IVMC adds touchless smartphone access and the ability to select and pay for up to five products in one transaction to Fastcorp’s machine. According to Vendekin, IVMC capabilities reduce consumer physical contact with a vending machine by about 95 percent.

“Mobile, cashless and touchless are the needs of the hour,” said Aroon Khatter, founder and CEO of Vendekin.  “Over the last few years there has been greater demand for just in time convenience driven by mobile technology.  Post COVID this has accelerated along with the need to reduce touch points for a consumer. Consumers wish for a seamless cashless mobile experience at vending machines but do not want to download new apps onto their phones. Our team viewed this challenge as an opportunity for us to use our technology for the greater good,” he added. 

Vendekin’s IVMC retrofits into any traditional vending machine with a plug and play device without the need of 4G/5G.  The IVMC is compatible with all MDB versions, working in tandem with all cash acceptors and card readers according to company reports.  

According to Vendekin, its device is VDI EVA DTA compliant, meaning data can be ported wirelessly into any existing VMS. The Vendekin VMS covers entire vending operations, managing purchase orders, warehouse inventory, automated machine planograms, pricing, automated service tickets and cash management. There is also a dedicated operator app that allows operators to get key insights and data on the go. Users have the convenience to make mobile transactions by just scanning a QR code with their camera on their smartphone.
