Laggy interface
Slow screens lose buyers before they checkout.
Bad UI design
Generic screens kill brand trust and impulse buys.

Common questions

Questions you're
probably thinking.

Straight answers on how we work, what we build, and what to expect.

Yes โ€” in most cases we can. We specialise in rebuilding and upgrading software on existing vending machines, particularly Android-based units like TCN and Chuangyi. We assess your hardware first, then tailor a solution to fit.

We primarily work with TCN, FocusVend and Chuangyi machines, along with other Android-based vending hardware. We can also evaluate other brands depending on the hardware setup. Linux-based machines are supported for OS migrations.

We support UPI, debit/credit cards (via card readers), mobile wallets, QR code payments, NFC/contactless, and cashless loyalty systems. Integration is tailored to your market and machine hardware.

Development timelines vary based on project complexity, prototyping, testing, and deployment. Simple software upgrades can be done in weeks; full custom builds typically take 6โ€“12 weeks from brief to launch.
