Common questions, answered
What is a smart fridge?
A smart fridge is an open-shelf vending fridge you unlock with a tap of your card. You take what you want and the fridge automatically detects and charges for it using weight-sensing technology — no buttons, no queue, no cashier.
What’s the difference between the single and double door?
The single door (FlexiVend Solo) is compact with ~510L capacity, ideal for smaller spaces and steady footfall. The double door (FlexiVend Duo) offers ~1000L with dual storage zones and AI-powered payments, built for busy, high-footfall sites.
How do people pay?
Entirely cashless — contactless bank card or phone. There’s no app to download and no account to create. The double door also supports AI-powered payment recognition.
Who stocks and maintains it?
We do. It’s a fully managed service — Vendtrade supplies, installs, stocks and services the fridge, so it’s always ready for your people.
What can it hold?
Fresh food, snacks and chilled drinks in any mix you like — the shelves are adjustable and the product range is fully configurable to your site.
