Invenda is a Swiss-born company pioneering place-based commerce—bringing the power of digital retail into every physical space. Backed by founding partners of Point Break, and Mutschler Ventures and led by a global team of 70+ experts from industry giants, we're transforming automated retail through technology, data, and execution.
Smart vending takes a simple snack or drink machine and turns it into a small, automated retail store that can grow your revenue per location.
Instead of just accepting coins and dropping products, a smart vending machine uses a large touchscreen, internet connectivity, and cloud software to manage pricing, content, and inventory in real time.
That means you can: run targeted promotions, change prices remotely, and keep best-sellers in stock more often, which typically lifts sales per machine; offer modern payments like mobile wallets and loyalty apps so more people complete a purchase; and use data on what sells, when, and where to make better decisions about products and placements.
In short, “smart” vending combines screen, data, and cloud to move from a static box to a flexible, measurable retail channel that earns more and requires fewer on-site visits.
Invenda operates on a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) architecture that includes:
The platform is designed for scalability, supporting networks from single machines to thousands of deployments globally.
