Foodline has completed the export of 6 bouquet vending machines to Bulgaria, helping local florists establish 24-hour unmanned flower retail outlets, significantly extending business hours, expanding flower sales channels. This increases monthly flower revenue by 42%.

Client Source: The head of a Bulgarian local chain flower brand saw a video on Google’s overseas short video platform showcasing our flower bouquet vending machine’s temperature-controlled freshness and remote back-end management. He proactively sent an inquiry, seeking a self-service flower vending solution adapted for the European market.
In-depth Communication: The client currently operates three physical flower shops, open only during the day, experiencing significant customer loss at night. The local spring and summer flower wastage rate is as high as 28%, and the cost of manually manning the stores at night is too high. The client’s core requirements: equipment compliant with EU CE standards, built-in temperature and humidity control system, multilingual payment support, and remote inventory monitoring. We simultaneously sent Bulgarian-compatible model information and EU certification documents, and customized temperature and humidity programs for local flower varieties.
Sales Implementation: The client initially purchased one machine and placed it in a location in downtown Sofia for a one-month trial operation. Back-end data showed that the flower freshness period was extended by 3 days, and nighttime orders accounted for 35% of total sales. After the tests were excellent, the customer placed an additional order, finalizing the purchase of 6 complete machines. We completed the production of the complete machines, EU compliance testing, and provided guidance on sea freight customs clearance. The entire set of equipment was delivered to Sofia, Bulgaria, on time for installation and commissioning.
Increased Sales: After deploying 6 units, the brand achieved 24/7 flower sales across multiple locations throughout the city, effectively doubling the operating hours per store. Overall monthly flower sales increased by 42%, with nighttime self-service orders becoming a new revenue driver.
Reduced Waste Costs: The bouquet vending machine features a dedicated temperature-controlled humidity chamber, extending the freshness of cut flowers like roses and lisianthus by 3-4 days. The flower spoilage rate dropped from 28% to 9%, directly reducing monthly fresh material procurement costs by nearly 30%.
Stable Equipment Operation: After 3 months of operation, the overall machine failure rate was less than 0.8%. Touchscreen selection, QR code payment, and automatic locking and dispensing are all seamless. It supports multiple payment channels including Euro cash, credit cards, and local e-wallets, adapting to Bulgarian consumer habits.
Excellent After-Sales Service: Foodline provides a fully English-language remote back-end operation tutorial, coupled with 7×14-hour online technical support. Equipment malfunction response time is controllable within 24 hours, eliminating customer concerns about cross-border repairs.
