1. First you have to decide what products you sell before you choose a specific type of vending machine.
We all know that the common vending machines on the market include beverage vending machines, snack&drinks vending machines, as well as coffee machines, ice cream machines, and fresh fruits and vegetables vending machines. Therefore, you need to choose different types of vending machines to sell different products. You can use the vending machines with spiral spring slot to sell regular products such as snack&plastic bottle drinks or vending machines with elevator system to sell fragile products such as skin care items, glass bottle beverage, egg, etc in order to reduce the damage of the goods. The number and the dimensions of the slots can usually be customized as per product size if you want to put various of products for selling in one vending machine.

2. After deciding on the type of the machine, you then choose the size of the vending machine.
Different vending machines come in different sizes. Common vending machines 
with spiral spring have 36, 48, 60 and 72 slots. If the slots or space inside the machine is not enough for selling all of your products, you can ask the manufacturer to add a sub-cabinet or choose a combo vending machine.

3. Due to the small footprint and strong applicability of vending machines, the locations are not as restricted as physical stores.
You can focus on locations with a lot of traffic, such as stations and hospital
s and closed locations such as factories and schools to have the fastest, stable and sustainable investment payback.



The first thing to consider for choosing a automatic intelligent vending machine is its stability. When choosing a smart vending machine, you should know more about the team members of the manufacturer, and what is their hardware quality? Does the software come from the manufacturer? How many people are in the technical team? Taken together, these questions show how stable the manufacturers machines are, and how controllable the vending machines are when making mistakes. After confirming the stability of the smart vending machine, the business chain will run stably once the investment in the vending machine is made. 

Another important thing to consider is the replenishment. If the replenishment is too frequent, it will affect the normal work and operation of the vending machines. In addition, you can clearly see whether the vending machine needs to be replenished by using the cloud-based intelligent software, which can help operators to operate better and win better profits for their partners.
