We build our own software.
Most machine sellers license white-label software from overseas and can't change a line of it. Ours is designed, built and updated by our own team in the United States.
Our engineers own the whole stack, from machine firmware to the dashboard to the mobile app.
New features come straight from operator feedback, and every update is included at no extra charge.
Real people, no overseas call centers. Live chat, a help center and training videos are built right in.
And a full dashboard for the desk.
The same account in any web browser, for the deeper work: reports, exports, ad campaigns and fleet-wide settings. Everything stays in sync with the app.

Common questions
Is the software included when I buy a machine?
Yes. Every VTM machine includes full access to the software platform and the VTM mobile app, and your first 3 months are free.
Can I manage machines from my phone?
Yes. The native VTM app for iOS and Android gives you live sales, inventory, alerts, and machine control, always in sync with the web dashboard.
Who actually builds and maintains the software?
Our own engineering team in the United States. We do not resell someone else's white-label platform, so new features and fixes ship on our schedule, driven by operator feedback.
How much does the VTM vending software cost?
Every VTM machine includes the software free for the first 3 months, then it's $29/month per machine. That's the full platform: real-time monitoring, remote pricing, alerts, advertising tools, and reporting, with no tiered plans or feature paywalls.
Do I need to install anything to use the software?
No. The dashboard runs in any web browser, and the native iOS and Android apps handle everything on the go. The platform is fully hosted on Amazon Web Services, so there are no servers to maintain and nothing to update.
Can I change products and prices without visiting the machine?
Yes. Update products and pricing per aisle, instantly, across one machine or your entire fleet. Choose from thousands of preloaded items in the master product library or add your own custom SKUs, and enter your wholesale cost to track profit margins automatically.
How does real-time inventory tracking work?
Every aisle reports live stock counts, with color-coded inventory levels visible right on your machine list. Set maximum capacity based on your coil configuration, adjust quantities during restocks from your phone, and disable an aisle with one click when needed.
What alerts does the software send?
SMS and email alerts for low inventory, machine malfunctions, sensor errors, and motor issues. Thresholds are customizable per machine and per aisle. For example, get a text the moment a top-selling aisle drops to 3 units.
Can I see my machine's screen without driving to the location?
Yes. The live remote screen view shows you exactly what customers see in real time, so you can verify ads, confirm pricing, and diagnose display issues without a site visit.
How does age verification work in the software?
Enable the optional add-on ID scanner on any machine that needs it. Verification schedules are fully customizable by day and time per location. For example, run checks only until 10 PM to match venue needs. For more advanced verification methods, read the options available for enterprise customers.
What happens if a product jams or fails to dispense?
The software automatically hides a product from the screen when a delivery failure or jam is detected, so customers can't pay for something that won't vend. The refund sensor also issues an automatic refund whenever a product isn't detected at delivery. Both features can be toggled per machine.
Can I earn advertising revenue from my machines?
Yes. Sell the welcome screen (1080 x 1920) and top banner (1080 x 441) as ad space using static images up to 3MB or videos up to 100MB. Schedule campaign start and end dates, and push ads to entire machine groups in one synchronized deployment.
Can the machine pass sales tax to the customer?
Yes. Set a sales tax rate per machine and the customer sees the retail price first, then the post-tax total on a confirmation screen. A $20 item at 8% tax shows $21.60 before payment. Prefer tax-inclusive pricing instead? Leave passthrough off.
Can I run coupons or promotions?
Yes. Create fixed-value codes (like $5 off) or percentage discounts (like 15% off), generate codes randomly or enter your own, and set expiration dates for limited-time promos or leave them open-ended. Customers redeem right at the machine.
Can my employees or accountant have their own logins?
Yes. Create role-based sub-user accounts (Technician, Accountant, Operations Manager, and more) and control exactly what each person can view, modify, or administer. Permissions follow the principle of least privilege, so a route driver can restock without seeing your financials.
What reporting and exports are available?
The real-time transaction viewer filters by date range, machine, user account, product, or transaction type (Delivered, Canceled, Unpaid), with one-click export to Excel. Sales analysis tools break down top-performing products, trends by category or location, and customer purchasing behavior across any time period.
What payment hardware does the software work with?
Every VTM machine ships with a Nayax VPOS Touch cashless terminal supporting credit cards, EMV chip, tap-to-pay, Apple Pay, and digital mobile wallets. Transactions flow straight into your dashboard in real time.
Does VTM software have an API or MCP server?
Yes. VTM software includes an open API and an MCP server, so you can connect Claude, ChatGPT or any assistant that supports MCP to your sales, machines and inventory, or send your data to accounting tools, dashboards and apps you build. Usage is included per machine as part of your software agreement.
How many machines can the platform handle?
The platform scales from your first machine to 10,000. Machine groups and advertising groups let you standardize settings and push changes across your whole network at once, and AWS hosting keeps everything fast, secure, and reliable at any fleet size.
Put your route in your pocket.
The app, the web dashboard and the machines, from one US-based team that builds all three.
