Vending Machine Installations and Custom Vending Solutions
Every vending project is different. The right solution depends on what you want to sell, where the vending machine will be installed, how customers will use it and what you expect from its operation.
At CENTRUMO, we provide both standard vending machines and custom vending solutions for businesses, manufacturers, retailers, farms, offices and other organisations looking for a modern and efficient way to sell products through self-service.
Our solutions range from conventional food and drink vending machines to refrigerated machines, flower vending machines and customised vending concepts designed for specific products and business requirements.
Vending Solutions Designed Around Your Product
A successful vending solution starts with the product.
Different products require different storage conditions, dispensing systems and machine configurations. Bottled drinks need a different solution than flowers, fresh food, meat products, cosmetics or fragile products.
That is why every vending machine should be selected and configured according to what will actually be sold.
Depending on the project, a vending solution can include:
- refrigerated or temperature-controlled storage
- spiral, conveyor, locker or elevator dispensing systems
- touchscreen controls
- cashless and contactless payments
- payment by card or mobile device
- remote monitoring and management
- sales and inventory monitoring
- customised compartment sizes
- custom branding and graphics
- indoor or outdoor configuration
The vending machine can therefore be adapted not only to the product itself, but also to the installation location, expected customer traffic and required user experience.
What Can Be Sold Through a Vending Machine?
Modern vending technology makes it possible to automate the sale of a wide range of products.
Food and Ready Meals
Vending machines can be used to sell packaged food, fresh meals, snacks, bakery products and other food items. Depending on the products, the machine can be equipped with refrigeration or another suitable temperature-control system.
Drinks
Vending machines are suitable for bottled and canned drinks, water and other beverages. Refrigerated solutions help keep products at the required temperature and ready for immediate purchase.
Flowers and Plants
Flower vending machines offer a convenient way to sell bouquets and floral products outside traditional opening hours. The machine can provide a protected and controlled environment for the products while allowing customers to purchase flowers at any time.
Meat and Refrigerated Products
Temperature-controlled vending machines can be used for meat, cold cuts, dairy products and other fresh products requiring refrigeration.
Farm and Local Products
Self-service vending machines can provide farmers and local producers with an additional sales channel for products such as eggs, vegetables, dairy products and other regional goods.
Cosmetics and Small Goods
Vending technology can also be used for cosmetics, hygiene products, accessories, souvenirs, electronics accessories and other compact retail products.
Specialised Products
Many products do not fit into a standard vending machine configuration. In these cases, the internal layout, dispensing system and other technical elements can be adapted to the size, weight, packaging and characteristics of the product.
Custom Vending Machines for Unique Projects
Sometimes a standard vending machine is not enough.
A product may have unusual dimensions, require careful handling, need refrigeration or have specific requirements for storage and dispensing.
In these situations, a custom vending solution can be designed around the individual project.
Depending on the requirements, the solution can include adjustments to the internal layout, number and size of compartments, cooling system, dispensing mechanism, payment technology, software configuration and exterior design.
The vending machine can also be customised visually to match the company or product brand. Colours, logos and graphics can turn the machine into a visible and recognisable self-service sales point.
Vending Machines for Indoor and Outdoor Locations
The location of the vending machine plays an important role in choosing the right model and configuration.
Vending machines can be installed in many different environments, including:
- shopping centres
- company premises
- offices
- hotels
- hospitals
- schools and universities
- fitness centres
- transport hubs
- tourist locations
- farms
- retail locations
- public areas
Outdoor vending machines may require additional protection and equipment suitable for changing weather conditions. Indoor vending solutions can be optimised according to available space, expected traffic and the surrounding environment.
The right solution should always take the location, products and expected operating conditions into account.
Modern Payment Options
Customers increasingly expect fast and convenient payment.
Modern vending machines can support cashless and contactless payments, including payment cards and mobile devices.
The exact payment system can be selected according to the project, target customers and location of the machine.
A simple and convenient payment process can make self-service purchasing easier for customers and improve the overall user experience.
Remote Monitoring and Vending Machine Management
Modern vending technology can provide much more than automated product dispensing.
Depending on the selected solution, vending machines can also support remote monitoring and management.
Operators can have access to information about sales, stock levels or the current status of the machine without having to visit the location every time.
This can make daily operation more efficient, particularly when managing several vending machines across different locations.
A Vending Solution Tailored to Your Business
Choosing the right vending machine is not only about selecting a model from a catalogue.
Several factors need to be considered:
What products will be sold?
Where will the vending machine be installed?
What are the dimensions and weight of the products?
Do the products require refrigeration?
How should customers pay?
What dispensing system is suitable for the product?
Is custom branding required?
How much capacity is needed?
Based on these requirements, it is possible to select a suitable vending machine and configure it for the specific project.
The goal is to create a vending solution that is practical for the operator, easy to use for customers and suitable for the products being sold.

Why Use a Vending Machine?
A vending machine can create an additional sales channel without the need for permanent sales staff.
It can allow customers to purchase products outside standard opening hours and make products available in locations where operating a traditional shop would not be practical.
Depending on the project, vending machines can offer several advantages:
- 24/7 product availability
- automated self-service sales
- lower staffing requirements
- flexible installation locations
- convenient payment options
- efficient use of space
- remote monitoring possibilities
- customised branding
- additional sales opportunities
The most important factor is choosing a vending machine that matches the product, location and expected customer behaviour.
