Visual Merchandising at the Machine

People are visual creatures. An old machine with a keypad forces the customer to peer through a glass pane and type codes. A vyndo touchscreen machine presents the products digitally, bright and appetizing on a 32" or 50" display. When the customer taps a product, they get nutritional info, allergens or see a short ad video. Best of all: the cart function. Like in e-commerce, customers can collect several products (for example cola + chips + bar) and pay for everything in one step. That raises the average basket value significantly.

Application Examples

Butcher's shop: customers choose grilling meat from photos, see preparation tips and buy the matching marinade with it. Electronics: selling headphones. A tap on the product plays a review video. Canteen: staff put together their menu at the screen and pay with the chip.

Touchscreen in Use

Airport & Tourist Location

At the airport or at tourist locations the customer switches the touchscreen to their language (DE/EN/FR/ES) and finds their way immediately. Product videos and nutritional info lower the barrier to buy, and the cart function lets several products be combined in one payment. So the average basket rises at a location with high, international footfall.

Canteen & Company

In the canteen the employee puts together their menu at the touchscreen and pays with the staff chip. Filters such as vegan or gluten-free lead quickly to the right product, and upselling suggestions raise the basket. The telemetry shows which products sell strongest, so the range can be steered precisely.

Retail & Electronics

When selling headphones or accessories, a tap on the product plays a short review video that supports the buying decision. The machine also sells after closing time and generates extra revenue. The large screen serves in standby as a digital ad space for further products.

Why a Touchscreen Raises the Basket Value

A touchscreen machine sells differently than a device with a keypad. Instead of typing codes through a glass pane, the customer chooses products visually on a 43–55" display and calls up nutrition, allergens or a short product video. The real lever is the cart function: as in an online shop, the customer collects several products (cola, chips, bar) and pays in one step. That noticeably raises the average basket. Add to that upselling right at the screen and multilingual support for tourist locations. vyndo integrates the touchscreen directly into the hardware, so you need no third-party solution. Management runs through our CMS software in the browser: change prices, swap images, run advertising, all remotely. TSE-compliant under KassenSichV, required for all machines with a payment function.

Technical Specifications

Our touchscreen machines work with standardized interfaces (MDB, DEX/DDCMP). Software updates run over the air (OTA). The payment terminal supports all common methods. The telemetry sends data over Wi-Fi or mobile network (SIM). Display options: 15–43 inch, Full HD, optionally with touch.

Machines with a touchscreen are priced at 3.000–15.000 € (purchase). Rental from a one-day term, leasing from 99 €/month. The surcharge over basic models pays off quickly through higher sales and advertising income.

Common Questions on Touch Machines

Does the screen break quickly?

No, we build in industrial touchscreens with impact protection (IK rating).

Can I change the images myself?

Yes, through our cloud CMS you simply upload product photos and videos.

What if the screen fails?

The system is modular. The screen can be replaced separately. Often a restart helps.

Does touch work with gloves too?

Our capacitive screens are set so that they can also be operated with thin gloves.

Does it use a lot of power?

LED backlights are economical, and a sensor dims the screen when no one is standing in front of it. The extra consumption over a classic keypad machine is small and is offset by a clear sales advantage: the cart function and visual merchandising raise the average basket. A 43–55" display needs more power than a 7" price display, but refinances through higher sales and use as ad space (DOOH) in standby. In climate-controlled indoor spaces the total consumption stays low, and outdoors we use high-brightness screens with a brightness sensor for optimization.

Is the software included?

Yes, the sales app is preinstalled. Updates come over the air.

Does touch cost a lot more?

The surcharge has usually paid for itself quickly through the cart function and higher sales.
