About HyperVend
HyperVend designs a modular retail stack spanning refrigerated smart coolers, conventional and robotic vending, compact automated fulfilment and software for inventory, checkout and remote management. The hardware is configured around the product category, with temperature control, access control and dispensing mechanisms adapted for prepared food, groceries, flowers, plants and specialist merchandise rather than using one cabinet for every format.
Its software connects machines to point-of-sale, enterprise and stock systems through APIs, allowing operators to monitor inventory, pricing, equipment status and sales across multiple sites. A customer can buy directly at the unit or place an order for automated preparation and delivery, while the operator replenishes from a shared stock view. HyperVend designs and manufactures its own hardware and supplies systems internationally, combining equipment sales with integration and operating software for unattended retail locations.
