How it works — remotely monitored machines
Every machine we place or sell can be fitted with a card reader and telemetry module. It reports each sale over the mobile network, so restocks, faults and product decisions are based on real data instead of guesswork.
1. Site check
We look at staff numbers, opening hours, stairs, lift access and parking, then match the machine and payment system to your site.
2. Delivered and installed
Machine delivered, levelled, powered up and tested. Card reader fitted and the price file loaded to your product list.
3. Monitored live
Sales, stock by column, temperature, door events and fault codes stream to our dashboard as they happen.
4. Restocked and reported
Restocks are scheduled before columns run out, and you get sales reports showing fast and slow sellers.
What data we track
- Time and date of every transaction
- The exact product dispensed and the column it came from
- Payment method — card, phone, QR, RFID card, wristband or fob
- Who took the product on closed-loop RFID and PPE machines
- Stock level per column and low-stock restock alerts
- Fridge temperature and door open or close events
- Machine faults and offline alerts, same day
- Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly sales reports by product
Why it matters on your site
Cash is behind roughly 95% of vending complaints — coin jams, wrong change and product not dropping. Cashless removes that, and telemetry removes the second complaint: an empty machine. Because we can see stock and sales remotely, refills happen on time, slow lines get replaced with products people ask for, and no one on your site has to chase us for a service call.
How cashless payments and monitoring workVending machine FAQs — payments, stocking and monitoring
What payment options can be fitted to a machine?
Every machine can take tap-and-go debit or credit cards, phone and watch wallets, QR code payment, and closed-loop RFID cards, wristbands or keyring fobs. Coin acceptors and $5, $10 and $20 note readers can still be fitted if your site wants cash, but most 2026 sites run cashless only because it removes coin jams and incorrect change.
Who stocks and restocks the machine?
On the free placement program we supply, deliver, install, stock and restock the machine at no cost to your site, based on what actually sells. If you buy a machine outright you stock it yourself, and we can supply the product list, planogram and supplier contacts to get you started.
Can we choose the products in our machine?
Yes. You pick the drinks, snacks, healthier options, fresh food, coffee or PPE lines you want, and we build the planogram around them. Sales data then tells us which lines to keep and which to swap out, and you can change the mix at any time.
How does remote monitoring work?
The card reader and telemetry module send each sale to a dashboard over the mobile network. We see stock levels by column, cash and cashless sales, temperature, door events and any fault code, so restocks are scheduled before a column runs empty and faults are picked up the same day.
What data do you track for each machine?
Time and date of every transaction, the product dispensed, the payment method, and for RFID or fob systems the card holder who took the product. That builds daily, weekly, monthly and yearly sales reports showing fast and slow sellers so slow lines can be replaced.
How many staff do we need for a free machine?
As a guide, 20 or more people on site during opening hours. Smaller sites can still get a machine on a lease, a new purchase or a workshop-tested used machine from $1,650 + GST.
Do we need stairs access, a lift or parking for refills?
Machines weigh 200 to 400kg, so we need either ground floor access or a lift, and somewhere to park a van close to the door. Tell us about stairs, lifts and parking in the enquiry form and we will match a machine and a delivery method that suits.
Sales enquiry — get machine options
Tell us about your site and what you are after — a free machine, a lease, a new machine or a used one — and we will come back with machine options, product suggestions and pricing.
Vending machine types, sizes and specifications
Every machine type we place free or sell outright, with real heights, widths, depths, weights, selection counts, capacity, power draw and temperature ranges. Measure your space against these figures before you order — 21 current models across 7 categories. Most floor-standing machines are 1,830 mm high and need a single-phase 10 amp power point within two metres, plus about 100 mm clearance behind for airflow.
Every model has a one-page PDF spec sheet you can download and hand to your electrician, builder or facilities manager.
New machine supply, spare parts and national technician support come through our affiliation with Vending Specialists. We are affiliated with AVS, so every new machine quoted from this page is a current Australian-supplied model with local parts, manuals and technician support behind it.
