TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY
The modern way to shop
Whether it is buying a book from Amazon on an iPad, a train ticket at a station, or ordering food at McDonalds, using screens to shop is now the norm, and vending machines need not be any different.

- Easy browsing and selection
- Product and nutritional information
- Basket feature to purchase multiple items
- Clear usage instructions, as well as product offers and suggestions

TELEMETRY
The transformational power of real-time data
At the core of our vending service is our real-time data collection telemetry system that allows you to monitor sales and performance remotely from your desk. This means that our vending stations are linked to the cloud to give us real-time access to what’s going on inside your vending machines, covering sales, stock and performance. This is truly what makes our smart vending machines smart. This live data output delivers a host of benefits;
Our telemetry system is installed as standard for our fully managed refreshment services allowing us live and remote access to our equipment. This is the optimal way to run a modern unattended retail business across remote locations. Our clients are also provided with a login to give them access to all the data for equipment we operate at their sites.
For self-managing clients, you too can have this smart technology! Livewell will install and set up the telemetry box inside your equipment and provide you the software and training to allow you easy access to live data. You will be able to run reports to reconcile revenue with stock and explore trends and performance over time to allow you to maximise sales.
- Live sales feed showing sales as they happen
- Real-time stock status to assist with refill scheduling
- Alerts for errors and events to minimise downtime
- Planogram analysis to improve product range and space
- Custom reports to analyse and quantify sales over defined periods
