Vensolutions

Filling levels, easy accounting, fault reporting, planning the refilling trips – with Vensolutions you always have your vending machines under control.

Connected Vending and Mobile Payment

The telemetry system Vensolutions offers the possibilities for an effective and legally sound way for your vending machine operating and accounting. Easier controlling and remote diagnosis, simplified maintenance of the machines on location and automating your route-planning for the refilling trips becomes possible. This is how vending becomes Connected Vending!

Our system is constantly developed further to adjust to operational and legal requirements.




What can Vensolutions do for you as an operator?

With Vensolutions you can control and evaluate all sales, transactions and the vending machine status from your office computer in real time. It can also be connected to your existing ERP-system.

“Fiscal data read-out” is one of the growing trends and requirements in the vending industry. Vensolutions is the holistic approach for active controlling of your operating and service process in the field of vending and company catering.

Vensolutions also supports the planning of your refilling trips by suggesting optimized routes and considering your staffs working times. Let all these be a thing of the past: complicated and error-prone paper lists, long machine down time, unnecessary empty trips and other bad surprises while maintaining your vending machines.

Is there a large event planned in the area where your vending machines are located? Is it going to be extraordinarily hot in the coming days? This means you should be able to sell more cold drinks for example. Thanks to Vensolutions taking various factors into consideration, the predictions are getting constantly more precise. This way you can maximize your potential by planning the best locations and assortments for your vending machines and increase your profitability.

Vencube - the hardware

The Vencube is the heart of the product family and the central control unit inside your vending machine. It is positioned in the stable middle position between the vending machine controls and the payment system. All money and product movements are monitored here in real time and sent to the Vensoft user platform.

This way the status of the vending machine can be efficiently supervised at any time. Failures and disruptions can be fixed promptly or even avoided.

With its product variations alpha (premium model) and beta (basic model, upgradable) the Vencube is the hardware of the unique Vensolutions system.

All data records are SSL encrypted, access protected and signed in addition to check authenticity and integrity. The Vencube case is always sealed to prevent unauthorized opening or manipulation. All Vencubes have an SAM-slot and are compatible with INSIKA.

With its converter technology the Vencube supports all vending specific protocols (Executive, MDB and BDV).

Ventool - the Windows app

Ventool is the mobile solution for controlling and maintaining the system on location. The app is also used for the configuration of the Vencube.

After installing Ventool on a laptop it can be connected to the Vencube and configurations can be adjusted. This enables a unified handling of the vending machine periphery.

We are currently working on a solution where all data concerning product and money movements is read-out on location and uploaded directly onto the online platform Vensoft. In doing so, the inventory will be completed electronically on location - even in areas with weak mobile communication infrastructure.

Today the recording of product movements and inventory, accounting and other data is often still done manually by operators and technicians. With our free app Ventool we are creating a solution which optimizes your business process and saves you time and money.

Vensells OL - broad card acceptance in the Open Loop

Together with Castles, a leading global provider of POS and unattended payment terminals, we are pleased to have significantly expanded our product portfolio for our customers:

If you equip your vending machine with the UPT1000F card reader from Castles, we can ensure you broad card acceptance (VISA, Master Card, co-branded cards) in the public sector (OpenLoop, OL), provided that a Vencube or Vensells OL module is installed in the vending machine.

The UPT1000F can be used as a pure MDB payment system, or in combination with the Vencube Beta as an integrated telemetry solution including all evaluations. The terminal offers "pin on glass" and is PSI certified.

By directly connecting the UPT1000F to the Vencube beta, or as a simple “Plug & Play solution" without telemetry via our Vensells OL module, all communication takes place between the vending machine and Vensolutions.
This enables use of the credit card reader on all common vending machine interfaces (MDB / EXE / BDV / CCI-CSI, etc.) without any problems. There is no need to specially customise the vending machine to suit the card reader.

This means that development of all relevant interfaces is in the hands of S+M GmbH, which stands for security and reliability.

Further customisations, e.g. of the start or home screen, can be realised on request.

Vensells CL – the "Plug and Play" card system in the Closed Loop

Vensells CL is the directly billable "in-house card system" with complete and automated billing, provided a Vencube is used in the vending machine.

As a “Plug and Play" solution, Vensells CL offers easy handling from commissioning to billing, without tedious set-up requirements and time-consuming key configurations.

The system offers fully integrated and absolutely transparent billing in real time - effectively at the push of a button.

There are currently two variants with different service packages to choose from:
While the basic version offers everything you would expect from an efficient solution, Venpay CL Premium - with its significantly extended range of functions - also meets more sophisticated demands.

The new Vensells CL thus rounds off the overall Vensolutions package and expands it in an ideal way for in-house operations, such as staff catering for companies looking for their own, less complicated solution.

Venshop – the flexible cash register system for every micro-market

Whether in-house to replace your canteen for staff catering or as a trendy farm shop in a container, our Venshop offers the right answer for every application as an intuitive cash register system.

Venshop’s basic version enables cashless shopping pleasure. Goods can be conveniently selected via a large touch screen and/or registered via an integrated scanner. Payment is made either through OpenLoop (OL, e.g. bank cards) or ClosedLoop (CL, in-house systems such as employee cards). Adding a cash module also enables the problem-free acceptance of cash payments.

Security is optionally provided by an integrated camera (in compliance with data protection guidelines). Certain groups of people, such as your employees or your guests, can even be given discounts.

MDB can be used to integrate existing cashless systems (Mifare, Legic) without any problems.

As an additional service, we are happy to customise the layout and production of a complete micro-market to suit your wishes and specifications.

The system’s practical modular design facilitates the combination of a wide variety of shop elements, which means the ideally customised solution can be found for every application. Whether you need a fresh produce display, glass fridge, coffee maker or microwave, you will be equipped for any use.
