Amidst rising operating costs for brick-and-mortar stores and a widening gap in nighttime consumption in France, Foodline successfully delivered 2 drink and food vending machines to its French client. Leveraging its robust hardware configuration, localized functionality, and comprehensive overseas support, these machines were successfully deployed in local community convenience stores, enabling 24/7 unmanned retail operation.

Precise Matching: The client inquired about drink and food vending machines with Foodline through AliExpress. Our business team immediately connected with the client, prioritizing models that focused on comprehensive vending and high stability, based on the client’s community convenience store scenario. We simultaneously sent a video showcasing the machine, and functional introductions, allowing the client to quickly understand the equipment.
Addressing Concerns: The client raised several concerns. First, whether the machine had passed EU compliance certification and could be used directly in the French market. Second, the native payment system only supported domestic QR code scanning and could not integrate with mainstream French payment methods. Third, concerns about common malfunctions such as fogging glass, jammed dispensers, and cumbersome inventory management. We provided solutions to each of these issues, completely eliminating the client’s concerns.
Remote Demonstration: Both parties agreed to conduct an online remote demonstration of the machine. Our staff demonstrated the entire process, including the spring-loaded dispensing and remote back-end management. The demonstration simulated the sale of various snacks and bottled beverages, verifying the equipment’s compatibility with different product formats. After comparing multiple suppliers, the client recognized our one-stop overseas service capabilities and officially signed a purchase contract for two vending machines.
Increased Business Data: Two vending machines were installed at the entrances of two convenience stores, filling the sales gap after closing time. The drink and snack vending machines operate stably 24/7, with each machine selling over a hundred snacks and drinks daily. Overall daily revenue for the stores has significantly increased, with nighttime hours becoming a new revenue growth point.
Convenient Remote Management: Customer staff can log in to the cloud-based backend via their mobile phones to view real-time inventory, order, and revenue data for both machines. The system automatically alerts them when inventory is low, allowing for more rational replenishment planning.
Comprehensive After-Sales Service: The customer stated that basic spare parts were included with the machines, addressing simple daily maintenance needs. Foodline provides 24/7 online consultation and remote debugging services. From procurement, logistics, and deployment to post-operation maintenance, dedicated personnel handle the entire process, offering significantly greater peace of mind than other suppliers.
