The Negotiation Process for Soft Serve Ice Cream Vending Machine
- Client Source: This Polish client found Foodline’s official website through a Google search for keywords related to self serve ice machine. After browsing several vending machine case studies on the site, they proactively left an inquiry. The client operates a convenience store on a street in a residential area, with business hours from 7 AM to 1 AM. Summer sees high customer traffic, but staffing is limited, and they wanted to add ice cream as a low-cost option.
- Details of Needs Communication: The client initially had three main concerns: European voltage compatibility, space constraints in a small store, and hygiene control for self-service dispensing. Our team simultaneously provided EU CE certification documents, scaled-down machine drawings, and an automatic sterilization and refrigeration system solution. We also sent a video showcasing the same machine in a European convenience store to alleviate their concerns.
- Order Completion: After finalizing the customized machine model, English operating interface, and Euro payment terms, we completed production and final quality inspection. We arranged a container to ship to a Polish port, along with a fully English installation and employee operation training. The entire process was completed within 28 days, resulting in a successful launch.
