Smart-terminal

A smart terminal is an intelligent vending device that combines loyalty system functions, acquiring, fiscalization*, as well as product accounting, price management, peripheral monitoring, and telemetry.

The work will take place within the unified i-Retail personal account

Smart-terminal

The smart device is perfect for vending and has all the necessary features. It can easily be attached to any vending machine and will look nice at your location.

Telemetry and ERP

With our software, tracking your vending will be at your fingertips. You will have access to complete sales statistics, inventory management, as well as detailed status information about the operation of all equipment and hardware.

 

Acquiring

Stay with your acquiring solution or connect ours on reasonable terms and in a short period of time. You can accept any currency in 50+ countries.

 

Fiskalization

For countries where fiscalization is required, the device will display the receipt on the screen. A free online cash register is included if you are using our acquiring solution.

 

4 simple steps to get started:

  1. Create an account on i-Retail and Ventotek if you don’t have one already. These are necessary for managing your vending operations.
  2. Add your product inventory to i-Retail. Upload your products to make them available in your vending machine.
  3. Connect a POS terminal and set up acquiring. To accept payments, configure acquiring and connect your terminal to your vending machine.
  4. Configure monitoring – set up notifications for orders, equipment, and feedback. To have a complete overview of your vending operations, enable notifications, monitor online sales, and track inventory levels.

Registration in the personal account:

Some setup will be done remotely in the personal account. To access it, you need to create an account in our system.

Step 1: Create an account and a retail point in i-Retail.

Managing your assortment:

To make your products available for sale, add them to the catalog in your personal account. Specify prices and assign vending machine button numbers to each product. If necessary, you can easily adjust prices by changing them in your personal account.

For complex products that consist of various components, we provide technological cards. This product type allows for flexible and precise tracking of even the smallest consumables and components.

Step 2: Add products, prices, and vending machine button numbers.

Connecting the Terminal to the Equipment:

Not all terminals are compatible with every vending machine model. You can check the compatibility of your terminal and vending machine through the provided link.

Detailed instructions on how to connect the terminal to the vending machine are available below.

Step 3: Connect the POS terminal to the equipment

Realtime hardware monitoring:

You will have a complete remote overview of your business operations. To ensure everything runs smoothly, we will send notifications if something stops working. Additionally, you can check the status of specific peripherals at any time to make sure your vending is operational.

  1. Network status: A stable internet connection is essential for precise operation. In case of unstable or lost connectivity, you will receive notifications from us.
  2. Hardware monitoring: We track the status and operation of peripherals. For example, if there is a malfunction or a peripheral goes offline, you will be able to see it in your personal account and receive notifications to respond promptly.

All notifications can be sent either to your email or to the Telegram messenger.

Step 4: Monitor the operation of the equipment and vending

Inventory management:

You can keep track of the quantity of products in your establishment. Initially, you’ll need to receive the products to reflect the current inventory. If necessary, you can quickly adjust the quantity by conducting an inventory check. Sometimes, products may expire, and you can write them off to remove them from the inventory.

You can also monitor sales progress and keep an eye on product stock levels to make timely replenishments and product receipts.

Managing inventory:

Acquiring:

You can start working with your existing acquiring solution. If you don’t have one, we can assist you in quickly connecting to ours. Payments can be accepted in over 50 countries in any required currency.

The principle of operation is straightforward: all received funds are directed to our financial center, from where you can withdraw them to your bank account.

Marketing and Loyalty System:

Here are the main advantages of the loyalty system:

  1. Customer Retention: Encourage repeat business and build customer loyalty through bonus incentives.
