How does
fully managed vending work?
Step 1
Assess
Site assessment and vending suitability
We assess footfall, access, available space and likely usage to confirm whether a fully managed vending service is suitable for your site.
Step 2
Recommend
Machine recommendation and payment setup
Livewell recommends the right type and number of vending machines, product range and cashless payment setup for your location.
Step 3
Install
Installation and configuration
Your vending machines are delivered, installed, configured and set up ready for staff, visitors, pupils or residents to use.
Step 4
Stock
Restocking, cleaning and maintenance
Livewell restocks, cleans, services and maintains the machines as part of the fully managed vending service.
Step 5
Optimise
Telemetry and optimisation
Livewell monitors sales, stock levels and machine performance remotely, helping us plan restocking, reduce out-of-stocks and refine the product range over time.
The Livewell Fully Managed Vending Solution
With fully managed vending, Livewell provides the machines, products, payment systems, servicing and ongoing support. The client provides the space, and Livewell manages the day-to-day vending operation.
The commercial arrangement depends on the site, expected usage and location. For suitable higher-use sites, fully managed vending can generate income for the client through revenue share or commission. For quieter or lower-use sites, a service charge may apply to make the service commercially viable.
This is different from self-fill vending, where the client buys or leases the machine and is responsible for stocking, pricing, cleaning and day-to-day management.
What’s Included
Livewell’s fully managed vending service covers the day-to-day operation, including equipment setup, replenishment, cleaning and maintenance
Key Benefits
A managed vending service provides 24/7 refreshments for staff, pupils, residents, passengers or visitors.
Where It Works Best
Fully managed vending works best where there is regular footfall and a clear user base, such as staff, pupils, residents, passengers or visitors.
