Cleveland, United States, 29th Oct 2025 — ReyVend, a U.S.-based innovator in intelligent retail technology, today announced the launch of its operator-first AI Vending and Smart Cooler platform, designed to transform traditional vending operations into frictionless, checkout-free retail experiences. The platform integrates advanced artificial intelligence, computer vision, and cloud-based analytics to deliver a scalable solution for manufacturers, suppliers, and vending operators across the nation.

AI Vending: From Transactional Machines to Intelligent Retail

The vending industry has evolved rapidly — from cash-only systems to digital, card-enabled machines. Now, AI Vending is redefining the model entirely, shifting the focus from simple transactions to fully automated, intelligent retail.

ReyVend’s Smart Coolers leverage AI and computer vision to enable a “tap, grab, and go” experience — eliminating the need for buttons, scanning, or manual checkout. The result is a faster, seamless consumer experience that has been shown to boost average transaction sizes by 50 percent or more, driving measurable increases in both revenue and ROI for operators.

AI Retail in Action Across the U.S.

Across the country, frictionless retail is quickly becoming mainstream. From Amazon’s Walk Out Technology to AI-powered retail in airports and entertainment venues like The Sphere in Las Vegas, consumers have embraced this seamless shopping experience.

However, while large retail brands have implemented AI systems successfully, the vending and distribution sectors have faced challenges scaling these technologies due to a lack of integrated, operator-focused platforms.

ReyVend Bridges the AI Vending Gap

ReyVend is solving the infrastructure gap that has long hindered AI vending adoption. Its new platform introduces the first fully integrated, operator-first AI vending solution in the United States.

The platform includes:

• A fully integrated software stack for mobile and web-based vending management.
• Nayax payment integration with incremental pre-authorization for seamless transactions.
• AI-driven inventory and performance analytics with real-time insights.
• Scalable deployment tools for regional and national vending networks.

Unlike consumer-focused AI solutions, ReyVend’s approach is engineered for operators—making large-scale deployment commercially viable for the first time.

ReyVend operates under VTM Vending, ensuring that every vending innovation is backed by industry expertise and proven distribution support.

A New Standard for Smart Coolers

ReyVend’s AI Smart Coolers combine real-time computer vision with data analytics to recognize products automatically. Customers simply tap to unlock, grab what they need, and leave. The system’s AI identifies removed items with 99 percent accuracy, charging customers automatically—no scanning required.

This technology eliminates the friction that traditionally slows vending transactions. Consumers act more spontaneously, purchase more per visit, and enjoy a faster, modernized experience. Operators benefit from higher basket sizes, improved efficiency, and lower maintenance costs—driving profitability and growth across the board.

From Innovation to Profitability

The AI Vending model is built not only on convenience but also on data. ReyVend’s platform provides operators with analytics dashboards that monitor performance, sales, and product trends across multiple machines.

By combining automation with data intelligence, ReyVend helps businesses:

• Increase per-visit revenue by up to 50%
• Reduce restocking trips and labor costs
• Improve inventory forecasting accuracy
• Minimize shrinkage through real-time product recognition

These advancements position ReyVend at the forefront of the AI retail revolution, bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and sustainable business operations.

Beyond Hype: A Platform Built for Scale

The success of AI Vending depends not only on innovation but also on scalability. Many large vending operators have been hesitant to adopt AI due to fragmented systems and high integration costs.

ReyVend addresses these challenges head-on, providing a unified ecosystem where operators can manage payments, inventory, logistics, and compliance—all from one centralized platform. This holistic approach enables national networks to deploy hundreds or thousands of AI Smart Coolers with consistent reliability and minimal oversight.

“The future of retail isn’t just about smart technology—it’s about smart operations,” added Jordan Brown. “We’ve built ReyVend to empower businesses to operate at scale, not just to showcase innovation.”

AI Vending: Changing Consumer Behavior and Industry Standards

The psychology of AI Vending is simple: remove friction, and consumers buy more. Traditional vending machines require multiple steps for each purchase—selecting, paying, and waiting. Smart Coolers eliminate those steps, creating a single, fluid experience.

When shoppers can simply open a cooler and take what they want, their buying behavior changes. The process feels intuitive, not transactional. That ease of interaction leads to higher sales volumes and increased customer satisfaction—factors that redefine what’s possible in unattended retail environments.

How It Works: The Science Behind the Experience

1. Visual Recognition: High-resolution cameras capture every interaction inside the cooler.
2. Machine Learning: AI compares visual data to a large database of product images.
3. Statistical Inference: The system analyzes hundreds of camera frames and angles to identify which items were taken, assigning each a confidence score. When confidence is high, the charge is automatic; if not, the transaction is flagged for quick review.
4. Automated Checkout: Once confidence exceeds 99%, the transaction is processed automatically.

This combination of computer vision and probability modeling ensures near-perfect accuracy while maintaining a frictionless customer experience. The process happens entirely in the background, allowing consumers to enjoy true “grab-and-go” convenience.

Transforming the Vending Industry for a New Era

ReyVend’s platform doesn’t just enhance vending—it redefines it. By transforming mechanical systems into intelligent, data-driven retail hubs, AI Vending creates a new economic model for operators: higher efficiency, greater revenue, and scalable growth.

This marks the beginning of a new era in unattended retail, where vending machines act as automated, intelligent storefronts powered by AI.
