YOUR BUSINESS. OUR EXPERTISE.

A machine is the start.
A partnership takes
you further.

Buy a vending machine for your own premises, manage an individual location or start a vending company. In either case, we help you make informed decisions at each stage.

We have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs take their first steps in vending. As a result, our experience, specialist connections and nationwide support give you a practical foundation to build on.

First, choose your equipment and explore your funding options. Then, get the right support around your business. Above all, it starts with a conversation.

THE VALUE BEHIND YOUR PURCHASE

More behind
every machine.

From your first plan to your next location, explore the services and connections available to support your business.

01

Start with confidence

The expertise behind your first machine.

Experience you can build on

We have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs enter the vending world. For example, draw on our experience in the Irish market, from choosing one machine for your workplace to building your own vending company.

Finance connections

Explore finance options through our network of investment banks and funding specialists. First, we introduce you to the relevant experts so you can discuss funding for your project. However, finance is subject to eligibility and the lender’s terms.

HSE registration guidance

Planning to sell food? First, we help you understand the food business registration process and direct you to the relevant HSE guidance for your operation.

HACCP planning support

In addition, our team can introduce you to specialists who help develop a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point plan suited to your products, location and business.

Insurance guidance

Get introductions and guidance on protecting your equipment and business. For example, discuss asset, public liability, product liability, employee liability and van insurance with the relevant provider.

02

Launch with care

Every detail, considered.

Delivery & installation logistics

Our logistics team plans the practical details before your machine arrives. For example, door widths, stairs, access and weather conditions all matter. As a result, careful preparation helps minimise the risk of damage during delivery and placement.

Machine graphics & customisation

Above all, make the equipment feel like part of your brand. For this reason, we work with Irish printing partners on custom machine skins and graphics, as well as furniture enclosures for a considered finish.

Vending machine removal

Replacing an old machine that you or your client owns? In that case, we can arrange removal at a competitive rate as part of the move to new equipment.

PAT testing & equipment safety

Portable appliance testing combines initial checks, formal visual inspection and testing by a competent person. As a result, it helps identify electrical safety issues before they become a problem. In addition, our qualified team can assess your vending equipment and advise on appropriate testing and maintenance. Ireland’s Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and S.I. No. 299 of 2007 provide the relevant workplace safety framework.

03

Operate with support

A team behind your day-to-day business.

Elite Care Technical Service

Keep your equipment performing with local service teams and depots, skilled engineers trained and employed by Vending-Machines.ie, and support through our Irish and UK call centre. In addition, Elite Care offers an inclusive service with unlimited callouts under the agreed plan, with clear costs and coverage confirmed before you commit.

24/7 customer support line

Report an issue or enquiry at any time on 01 444 8233. Then, we aim to deal with each call within 24 hours of receiving it.

A support line for your customers

To begin with, let us take the first call. For example, our 24/7 customer support service can answer your customers, take their messages and pass the details back to you in real time.

Your dedicated account manager

Work with a named account manager who understands your business and helps ensure your self-service solution continues to meet your needs.

04

Grow your opportunity

Support that grows with your ambition.

Nationwide coverage

Build across Ireland and Northern Ireland with a service partner that can support multiple locations. As a result, plan your next site knowing you have a team to discuss your requirements wherever you expand.

Wholesale connections

Buying stock at the right price is central to a healthy gross profit margin. For this reason, we connect you with product wholesalers so you can build a suitable range and manage your buying costs.

Transportation

As your operation grows, your transport needs change. In addition, we work with van dealers and can help you explore suitable commercial vehicles and competitive pricing.

Recruitment & staff training

Next, build the team behind your business. For example, we offer practical recruitment advice and can help train staff for the everyday demands of a vending operation.

Environmental responsibility

We support tree-planting initiatives around the world with the aim of offsetting as much of the manufacturing footprint as we can. Explore our environmental initiatives ↗.

We will confirm the services, costs and coverage that apply to your chosen equipment and support plan. Third-party finance, insurance and specialist services are subject to their own terms.
