Badge Printing Kiosk – Project Goal

For retailers, managing sales, tracking inventory, and keeping payment data aligned took way too much time. Vendy set out to change that and bring everything under one roof. Linkitsoft built a unified platform that connects every part of the retail process, giving store owners full visibility and control in real time.

The Core Problems and their solutions

The Problem

When COVID-19 struck, public touchpoints became a health concern, and vending machines were no exception. People avoided them altogether, fearing contamination from shared buttons and cash handling. Businesses that relied on vending sales faced a decline, as traditional machines weren’t equipped for safe, contactless use.

The Solution

Vendy was built to change that experience. Linkitsoft created a smart vending system that turned any smartphone into a personal control panel. Instead of touching the machine, users could simply scan a QR code, browse items online, and pay digitally through a user-friendly interface, all within seconds.

The Problem

Every store had separate systems, making it nearly impossible to manage sales, inventory, and data in one place. Owners had to go through multiple tools just to track performance. This led to errors, delays, and a lack of real-time insight into how their business was actually doing.

Our Solution

Linkitsoft built Vendy, a unified platform that brings all retail operations together under one dashboard. From managing transactions and stock levels to analyzing store performance, everything runs securely in real time. The system gives retailers complete visibility and control. No more switching between apps; just one smart solution that keeps business moving.

The Problem

Traditional vending machines in the UAE offered little more than outdated hardware. Users had to rely on cash and unresponsive screens. They often ended up frustrated when the machine didn’t work or refused exact change. Businesses struggled too, as these old systems lacked modern payment options and real-time connectivity.

The Solution

Linkitsoft helped transform this experience with Vendy. It introduced several options to pay digitally via Apple Pay, Google Pay, or other digital wallets. This way, they would instantly receive their selected item without worrying about cash or change. Every transaction happens in seconds, fully automated and securely synced.

The Problem

Retailers had no real insight into customer behavior. Old vending machines only recorded basic transactions… not what sells fastest, when sales peak, or which products users prefer.

The Solution

With Vendy, Linkitsoft turned vending into an experience that works based on data. Every transaction is logged and analyzed to show detailed sales trends, product popularity, and customer preferences, all accessible through a centralized dashboard.
