The Different Types Of Vending Machines

In the Vietnamese market, there are mainly two types of vending machines: Mechanical Vending Machines and Smart Vending Machines.

A Mechanical Vending Machine only sells products that are available in the machine. There are no other features. If you insert a large denomination, you have to use it all up because the machine will not return the change to you.

Smart vending machines are often equipped with large touchscreens for product selection and dynamic display (between 32 inch to 49 inch) with many useful features aside from the purchasing function. Those features include: change return, mobile phone credit top-up, cashless payment, support of e-wallets / QR codes / coupons and more. You can also advertise on the machine screen / body to reach potential customers, minimize advertising costs, and promote branding.
