Custom Vending Machines. Intelligent By Design.

DMVI is a US-based custom vending machine manufacturer that has designed, engineered, and deployed branded smart vending machines in 22 countries since 2009.

Full line-up of DMVI custom vending machines

What is a custom vending machine? A custom vending machine is a vending machine engineered around your specific products, brand, and customer experience instead of a generic shell (Wikipedia: Vending machine).

Every DMVI custom vending machine ships as a smart vending machine by default, with a 21–50 inch touchscreen, cashless payment hardware, IoT telemetry, and our VendingTracker software stack so operators can track inventory, sales, and machine health in real time from any browser.

Strong custom-vending programs also account for design for manufacturability (DFM) and total cost of ownership (TCO) from the start, so the machine can be built repeatably, serviced efficiently, and operated commercially over time (Wikipedia: Design for manufacturability, Investopedia: Total cost of ownership).

DMVI uses design prototyping to validate cabinet layout, dispense flow, branded UX, and serviceability before production is locked, so operators test the real machine instead of approving a render and hoping for the best (Wikipedia: Design prototyping).

Hardware engineering, industrial design, custom branding, software, and deployment are handled in-house — you receive one machine, one platform, and one accountable team. If you are deciding between a stock unit and a fully customized program, smart vending machines is the right starting point for build options, and digital vending machines is the right next step if you want the clearest explanation of our touchscreen-first user experience.

Custom Hardware Built Around Your Product

Wall-mounted, freestanding, large-format, and refrigerated configurations are engineered to your product mix, footprint, and compliance requirements. Cabinet, tray geometry, lighting, and locking system are all specified per program.

That means the machine is shaped around how your products need to be sold, stored, and dispensed rather than forced into a generic format that only sort-of fits the brief.

VendingTracker Smart Software Layer

Smart vending machine software dashboard

VendingTracker delivers live sales, inventory, planogram, pricing, and machine-health data through a browser dashboard. Cashless payments, telemetry, and remote configuration follow the same MDB and DEX protocols used across the modern vending industry (Wikipedia: MDB/ICP, Wikipedia: DEX).

Because the software is built in-house, branded UI, third-party ad networks, and product-specific shopping flows can be added without waiting on a third-party roadmap.

Smart Vending Software Built In, Not Bolted On

VendingTracker is shipped on every DMVI machine instead of sold as a separate add-on. The platform handles cashless payments through standard vending payment hardware (Nayax: Vending payment and telemetry), live inventory, content scheduling, planogram changes, alerts, and operator-defined pricing.

Because the software is built in-house, branded UI, third-party ad networks, and product-specific shopping flows can be added without waiting on a third-party roadmap.

What Is a Custom Smart Vending Machine?

A custom smart vending machine is a fully branded, internet-connected automated retail unit engineered to dispense a specific product mix while collecting payment, telemetry, and shopper-behavior data (Wikipedia: Automated retail).

DMVI custom smart vending machines pair custom hardware — cabinet, tray, locking, and refrigeration — with a proprietary software stack that runs cashless payments, real-time inventory, planogram management, and remote configuration. Operators see live sales and stock levels for every machine in their fleet, and end customers see a branded touchscreen experience that looks and feels like your retail brand, not a generic vending kiosk.

Wall-Mounted Custom Vending Machines

Wall-mounted custom vending machines are smart vending units designed to dispense merchandise from a footprint shallow enough to mount against a finished wall. DMVI wall-mounted machines fit retail stores, hotel corridors, gym lobbies, and office break rooms where floor space is at a premium but 24/7 retail is still on the roadmap.

Each unit ships with the same touchscreen, cashless payment, and IoT inventory layer as our floor-standing models, so a wall-mounted footprint never means a stripped-down feature set.

FAQs

  • DMVI has designed, engineered, and deployed custom smart vending machines since 2009, with more than 2,000 deployments across 22 countries for brands and operators. That experience spans wall-mounted units, large-format automated retail, refrigerated programs, and fully custom vending-machine builds.

  • A DMVI custom vending machine is engineered around your products, branding, and locations — not a wrapped stock unit. Every build includes 21 to 50 inch touchscreens, cashless payment hardware, IoT telemetry, and VendingTracker software so operators control inventory, pricing, on-screen content, and machine health in real time across an entire unattended retail network.

  • Yes. Every DMVI custom vending machine ships as a smart vending machine by default. Real-time inventory, cashless payments over standard MDB and DEX protocols, IoT connectivity, and remote management are included on every model — there is no stripped-down version of a DMVI machine without the software stack.

  • DMVI custom smart vending machines dispense almost any safely stored product, including frozen and refrigerated food, healthy snacks and drinks, beauty and hair products, electronics, nicotine and vape products, D2C brand merchandise, office supplies, PPE, and internal tooling. Hardware, tray geometry, and refrigeration are matched to the product mix and any compliance requirements.

  • Pricing depends on cabinet size, refrigeration, screen size, branding scope, and software customization. Most DMVI custom vending machine programs land between roughly $8,000 and $20,000 per unit, with multi-unit programs and full custom hardware tooling priced on a per-program basis after a discovery call.

  • A short discovery call covers products, locations, and revenue goals. From there DMVI proposes a configuration and budget, then handles industrial design, hardware engineering, software setup, branding, manufacturing, and deployment with a fixed timeline from concept to live, unattended retail.
