Vending is a sale various goods or provision of services through special machines. All over the world, vending machines are quite in demand, and in Russia this profitable business is just gaining momentum. The purchase and use of vending machines is an excellent additional or main source of income:

  1. No need to pay a salary to the seller or look for a replacement for the sick leave period.
  2. There is no need to rent the entire premises, since the machine can be placed anywhere. Suitable as a spacious hall of an entertainment or business center, as well as the territory of a hospital or train station.
  3. The device operates in an uninterrupted mode, and repairs do not require large expenditures or the help of a highly specialized specialist.
  4. Profit significantly exceeds the cost of maintenance.

We offer the most popular options for vending machines, taking into account the basic needs of the population. Among the presented assortment, it remains to choose the most popular device:

Retail sales of consumer goods through vending machines bring good profits, and the range is no longer limited to cold drinks or aromatic coffee. Modern devices allow you to make a purchase as quickly and conveniently as possible, and the simplicity of organizing a business plays into the hands of even novice entrepreneurs. Starting your own business using vending machines is much easier thanks to minimum investment at the starting stage.

Russia is geographically located between Europe and Asia, as is Russian vending. We offer you an overview of the vending market in Russia and a detailed analysis of the main manufacturers of vending machines that supply equipment to the Russian Federation.

Manufacturers of vending equipment

European and Asian vending differ radically. Europe is traditionally fresh bean coffee based on high quality ingredients. Asia chooses instant drinks, a large part of the range is represented by canned versions that can even be warmed up.

As the saying goes, demand determines supply. Therefore, the main direction of Russian vending is easiest to determine by looking at which manufacturers coffee machines are the most popular - both among the vendors themselves and buyers.

European manufacturers of coffee machines:

  1. Necta
  2. Bianchi
  3. Saeco
  4. Rheavendoors
  5. Jofemar

All these brands are united high quality assembly, reliability in operation, ease of operation, a wide range of drinks. But the main thing is an extensive selection of the models themselves. Each vendor will be able to choose the best option for themselves, taking into account the price, the size of the machine, the features of the point, the cross-country ability, etc.

In this niche, there are vending machines for absolutely any conditions - including sales in elite centers and "street" vending.

Plus, Europeans work with universal software. You can easily change bill acceptors, coin acceptors and telemetry modules without focusing on a specific manufacturer.

Asian coffee machine manufacturers:

  1. Samsung Venson
  2. SMCoin
  3. Avend

From the entire line Russian market only Samsung stands out. His machines are traditionally considered one of the most reliable in the segment of soluble machines.

The rest of the Asian models really could not gain a foothold in the Russian market. First of all, because of the low build quality. Each breakdown is a simple machine and dissatisfied customers. And Russian vendors are naturally not ready to take risks. In addition, there are certain pitfalls. Asian companies have individual software protocols. Therefore, additional equipment has to be purchased only from this machine manufacturer.

This moment played especially seriously when 10-ruble coins were issued in Russia. The owners of Europeans updated the acceptance of coins for the month, spending 1-3 thousand rubles on a machine. And the Asians were preparing updates for about 6 months, and the costs were from 7 thousand. And some (for example, SMCoin) reached up to 40 thousand rubles.

From Russian varieties vending machines perhaps only Unicum can be noted. Him good quality assembly, stylish, modern the lineup with good functionality. A wide range of. There are also particularly outstanding models - for example Foodbox with a capacity of up to 1536 items.

The quality of Unicum can be judged at least by the fact that it confidently competes even with the Italian leader Necta. All other Russian "brands" are actually "assembly on the knee", which has been repeatedly confirmed by the reviews of SuperVending customers.

Let's sum it up – from the point of view of vending, Russia is definitely a European country! Both vendors and customers prefer European vending machines, which are more reliable and stylish, with a wide range of products and tasty aromatic drinks.

The wide variety of vending made it necessary to create a system for the development and manufacture of various vending machines to order. This allowed us to develop a wide range of vending machines and additional options for them.

A special design bureau of the Infotechnika group of companies offers its customers the development and manufacture of vending machines (production of vending machines) to solve any business problems. Additionally, the work of the division includes the modernization and refinement of serial models of automatic machines (our own or foreign ones) for the specific goals of the Customer.

Thanks to our extensive experience in vending development, we can realize almost any wishes in the shortest possible time - any goods, any number of types of goods, any maximum load of goods, any shape and appearance of the vending machine, any additional options (bill acceptors, change, touch monitors, acquiring, interactive showcase, advertising screens, security and much more).

The design, appearance and price of a vending machine significantly depend on a number of parameters, the main of which are:
-name of the product, degree of fragility (can it be discarded)
-assortment of simultaneously sold species
goods (SKU, maybe different prices, etc.),
- type of product packaging (blister, cardboard box ..), its shape and dimensions
(or range of sizes) and weight for each type of product,
- the desired number of loading of each type of product,
- temperature mode of storage of goods
- operating conditions (room, street),
- issuance management: payment or issuance on a different basis (for example,
smart card, corporate tag or access card, promotion, etc….)
-currency of the payment system (rubles,…)
-type of payment system (bills, coins, cards...),
- the presence of change (bills, coins), the number of denominations of change,
- the need to install a touch screen for product selection and advertising,
- the presence of remote control for the transmission of messages from the machine (ends
goods, delivery ...)
-the presence of a printer of checks or a fiscal registrar (KKM),
- the presence of some restrictions (for example, by area ...),
- country and city of delivery,
- the number of machines planned for order in the first batch.
-Standard or custom design
- volume of the order.

In addition to developing new models of vending machines, the design department equips serial (usually foreign) models with non-standard options - various advertising screens and light panels, acquiring and other use of smart cards, payment from a mobile phone, remote control, preparing vending machines for outdoor use, changing the design of vending machines, structural reinforcement, etc.

    ANNOUNCEMENT: we have developed a universal automatic robot (<< см. на другой страничке), который может продавать практически любой штучный товар от пушинки до нескольких кг!

    In a conversation with us, a successful entrepreneur Konstantin Starkin spoke about the advantages and prospects of the vending business in Russia, and also spoke about the nuances of the production of vending machines.

    Main points of the interview:

    • Type of activity: Manufacture of vending machines
    • Location: Russia, Moscow
    • Business experience: more than 10 years.
    • The number of issued machines: more than 500 pieces (data for January 2015).
    • Why did you get into production? «…. vending trade in Russia is poorly developed. On the other hand, the production of vending machines is practically not developed. , there was no equipment on the market that would meet the necessary criteria”
    • Is it worth starting a business in a crisis: “In my opinion, the time of crisis is great for those who want to start their own business. Applicable to the vending trade, this rule is even more relevant .... "
    • What business success depends on: “The main thing in achieving success is the desire to act, and not to look for excuses for inaction, not to refer to fictitious difficulties.”

    Konstantin, how long have you been in this business? How did the history of your company begin?

    I have been doing vending for a long time, more than 10 years. It all started with the installation and maintenance of slot machines. At first, we used imported equipment, which was rather labor-intensive to maintain. Components were ordered from third-party suppliers and arrived in 4-5 months.

    When the gaming business was banned, we began to look for a new niche. Toys, undoubtedly, are a stable and highly profitable sphere, especially since the vending trade in Russia is underdeveloped. On the other hand, the production of vending machines is practically not developed. , there was no equipment on the market that would meet the necessary criteria.

    Together with partners, it was decided to develop and organize the production of a new and unique vending machine for our market. That is why the name of our company is New Vending Technologies LLC (official website of the company https://www.newvend.ru/).

    Why did you decide to switch from trade to the production of commercial equipment?

    It cannot be said that the company completely switched from sales to the creation of devices, since we still have a number of outlets (Novosibirsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg).

    Why did you decide to become a manufacturer? Firstly, it is interesting to do something new, realizing the usefulness of your own efforts. Secondly, there was knowledge and understanding of what kind of product our market needs.

    To be honest, at first glance, your equipment gives the impression that it is imported. For me, his Russian origin was a discovery.

    vending machine business - the idea is not easy in Russian realities, as well as the creation of any unique product. Now, looking back at the path traveled, you understand how risky it was. But the company coped, having managed to establish a very clear, streamlined process for the production of equipment. Today we are proud that all products are fully assembled in Russia with the maximum use of local components.

    In cooperation with the best domestic designers, a very durable, reliable apparatus, Mangosteen, adapted to our realities, was created. By the way, we are completely confident in our product, and since the beginning of 2015 we have increased its warranty service to 3 years.

    Do you have a large product line?

    3 items are produced:

    We also produce capsules for toys (ed. Before selling, toys must be packed in capsules), on two production lines - 60 and 100 mm.

    How many vending machines have you made? And what is the geography of equipment sales?

    More than 500 units rolled off the assembly line. So far, we only cooperate with Russia and Kazakhstan, but we are striving to develop the Mangosteen sales network in other countries as well. Our products are installed in more than 60 cities, from Moscow, where we started to develop our network, to Khabarovsk, from Sochi to St. Petersburg. The company's products are presented in almost all cities with a population of over one million, as well as in very small and remote settlements.

    Do you already have your products in Crimea?

    Unfortunately, not yet, but we will be glad to see representatives of the Crimea in our ranks.

    I understand the sale of toys through the machine, but the sale of jewelry is not entirely clear. Is it possible to buy jewelry blindly? From personal experience, I can say that before buying any hairpin, a woman will measure 15 pieces. Or is the device aimed specifically at men: came - bought - presented?

    The capsules in which the jewelry is packed are transparent. Customers perfectly see what they are buying, plus videos with the presented jewelry are scrolling on the monitor. The price of jewelry in the machine is much lower than usual, since there are no costs either for sellers or for renting large premises. This, of course, is a tangible plus in the implementation of jewelry.

    Do you order toys for sale in China? Have you thought about organizing the production of goods in the Russian Federation?

    Is vending a business for megacities (or regional centers) or is it possible in a small town? Does it make sense to install equipment, say, in a city with a population of 100,000 people?

    We have quite successful partners in small towns. Well, in a city with a population of 100,000 inhabitants, you can not only install 1 vending machine, but also develop a network of even 10 outlets.

    In general, vending in Russia - a rather delicate occupation when it comes to small towns. On the one hand, in a small settlement (if it is not the north), the income of the population is lower, but at the same time, the level of competition and rental rates are lower. Prices for toys are also more attractive to buyers than in our usual retail formats.

    The main obstacle is the unfamiliarity of automated trading, the fear that the machine will "eat the money, but not give back the goods." Therefore, the owner of this kind of equipment in a small town should pay more attention to promotions, show how easy it is to make purchases here. It is necessary to attract customers, and new buyers will be found thanks to word of mouth.

    Recently I talked with an acquaintance who claimed that sales through vending machines are not an activity for Russia, since the domestic consumer is conservative. How right do you think he is?

    I agree with your friend. Russians are a conservative people, but vending is actively gaining momentum, and in the next 3-5 years it will become an integral part of our lives. Already now in large cities equipment with snacks, coffee machines, newspaper machines are on every corner. Other vending machines will soon have the same boom, but it is very important to gain a foothold in a niche while there are excellent places.

    What, in your opinion, are the prospects for the vending business in Russia against the backdrop of current market realities?

    The outlook is amazing. We see how in Moscow tent trade is reduced to a minimum, and it is being replaced by automated sales, so it is logical to assume similar rearrangements in other cities. Vending is convenient, reliable and of high quality. In the very near future, we are waiting for a 10-fold jump in the development of automated trading.

    Is it really worth starting a business in a crisis? Maybe it's better to wait until everything "settles down"?

    In my opinion, the crisis time is great for those who want to start their own business. Applicable to vending trade, this rule is even more relevant, since now people are thinking about saving money, and prices for goods in vending machines can be significantly lower than market prices (savings in wages, rent). In addition, a huge plus is the widespread reduction in rental rates.

    Even if the buyer of the vending machine decides that such a trade is not for him or, for example, changes his place of residence, the vending machine can always be profitably sold, recouping the investment spent on launching the project.

    How difficult is it to be an entrepreneur in Russia?

    Our company employs patriots who want to live and develop in their homeland. I believe that now is a great time for the development of small and medium-sized businesses, since there are a huge number of government programs aimed at promoting entrepreneurship. There is an opportunity to receive subsidies, and negotiations are underway aimed at reducing the tax burden.

    And the last question: in your opinion, what needs to be done to succeed in business?

    The main thing in achieving success is the desire to act, and not to look for excuses for inaction, not to refer to fictitious difficulties. Look for a type of activity that interests you. "Only the brave conquer the seas!"

    When you go to a supermarket, you will surely find at least one vending machine there.
