Smart Vending

Self-service intelligent cabinets

The Selfly Store self-service intelligent cabinet solution provides unattended, always-open retail that allows consumers to independently purchase multiple items from Selfly intelligent cabinets using contactless payment systems (payment card, smart devices, …).

A lack of healthy and affordable food and nutrition in the workplace can adversely affect people's performance. On the other hand, adequate nutrition has been shown to increase productivity by up to 20 %. The food challenges many workplaces face are daily long queues in crowded canteens, an unpredictable number of employees physically on site each day, and expensive food options outside the main meal-serving hours.

New food service sales models and real-time data can alleviate these pain points. 

The best-selling products at customer locations of intelligent self-service cabinets include:

- Healthy & fresh food (meals and drinks)

- Nutritious snacks to go

- Sweets and treats

The intelligent cabinet was created for a simple reason: to provide retail and business service providers with a self-service intelligent innovation that creates a long-term, sustainable business and provides consumers with higher value.

To meet this goal, the Selfly Store solution introduces a new series of intelligent cabinets with three different versions.     

A unique feature is the ability to track the use-by dates of fresh food via the Selfy Cloud, which supports the reduction of food waste

How it works (description) – Open with a card – Select products – Close (paid online) – The consumer enjoys an enhanced shopping experience:

1. The customer opens the cabinet using a selected smartphone payment app or a credit card.

2. After successful authentication, the cabinet unlocks so the customer can take the desired items.

3. When the door is closed, the cabinet reads the taken items and triggers the payment and replenishment commands.

4. The customer receives a summary of the purchase on the screen of the cabinet.

5. The cabinet is ready for the next customer.

6. Cooperation with professionals who will help you successfully offer customers smooth, pleasant and always-available sales.
