What We Do

Everything you need to run a smarter, faster, more efficient vending fleet.

๐Ÿง 

Predictive Maintenance as a Service (PMaaS)

Fault forecasting, early failure alerts, technician workflows, and monthly KPI reports โ€” all in one pane of glass.

๐Ÿ“ฆ

Inventory Intelligence

SKU-level demand forecasts, optimal refill intervals, low-turnover detection, and GPS-based route planning.

๐Ÿ”Œ

Embedded Retrofit Kits

VendCore Edge controllers, sensor arrays (temp, vibration, door, motors), and solar/battery modules with guided installs.

๐Ÿงฉ

Enterprise Integrations

ERP/CRM sync (Zoho, SAP, Oracle), white-label dashboards, and secure APIs for data pipelines and analytics.

โšก

Energy Optimization

Intelligent compressor scheduling, night-mode, and anomaly detection to cut energy costs and carbon impact.

๐Ÿ”’

Reliable by Design

OTA updates, role-based access control, and audit logs โ€” built for secure, at-scale vending operations.

How It Works

From install to insights in four simple steps.

๐Ÿ“ฆ

1) Plug & Sense

Retrofit kits add sensors and the VendCore Edge controller to your machines.

๐Ÿ“ก

2) Connect

LTE/Wi-Fi backhaul streams encrypted telemetry to our cloud.

๐Ÿงฎ

3) Learn

ML models learn normal behavior and spot issues before failures.

๐Ÿšš

4) Act

Technicians get guided fixes; operators get optimal refill and routing plans.

One Pane for Your Fleet

Predictive maintenance, inventory forecasting, and route planning โ€” unified for operators and service teams.

Inside the Tech

A modern edge-to-cloud stack that puts intelligence where it matters.

VendCore Edge

ARM-based controller with modular I/O, local anomaly detection, and secure OTA updates.

Telemetry & Cloud

Efficient MQTT streams, role-based APIs, and scalable time-series storage.

ML Models

Failure prediction, demand forecasting, and energy optimization tuned for vending workloads.

โ€œVendCraft flagged a failing compressor two weeks before it died. That saved us a truck roll and a full day of lost sales.โ€

FAQ

Can I retrofit older machines?

Yes โ€” our kits support common legacy controllers and provide universal sensor harnesses.

Do you offer on-site installs?

We provide guided installs and partner technicians in major metros.

What about data security?

All telemetry is encrypted in transit and at rest, with RBAC and audit logs for compliance.
