Site fit

Choose the location type first

The best AI vending pilots start with repeat demand and a clear customer moment.

  • Office and workplace amenities
  • Gyms, campuses, venues, and residential sites
  • Operator networks with restock capacity
Product

Define stock and product rules

Computer vision helps only if the product set is practical for the cabinet and customer.

  • SKU mix and packaging
  • Margin and shelf life
  • Restock cadence by sales data
Operations

Measure before scaling

Transactions, stock, uptime, and payment outcomes should be visible from the first pilot.

  • Remote reporting
  • Payment and refund process
  • Site-level performance
Perkd model

Perkd connects the AI experience to the operating layer.

AI vending should be evaluated as a connected retail operation, not a standalone technology demo.

  • Computer-vision checkout
  • Cashless billing
  • Remote stock and transaction reporting
Perkd smart vending reporting dashboard
Bad fit filter

Do not buy AI for novelty alone.

The cabinet must still solve a real site, product, and operations problem.

  • No feature-first rollout
  • No missing restock owner
  • No scale before pilot evidence
