AI
AI video recognition
Each transaction can be video-recorded and interpreted by AI recognition logic to determine the actual basket of items a customer removed.
Technology platform
Modern vending built on intelligence, not guesswork.
VendAi's core technology is not just the vending hardware. It is the software platform behind it: an enterprise retail operating layer that connects intelligent machines, payment orchestration, ERP-ready data, AI-assisted basket recognition, and multi-site control into one scalable system.
Core stack
Software-led, hardware-enabled, enterprise-ready.
- ERP-linkable software that can integrate vending activity into larger enterprise operating environments
- Multi-level payment distribution logic for operator, sub-operator, and channel-based revenue sharing
- AI video recognition that records each transaction and calculates the correct basket of items taken
- Inventory intelligence that updates stock logs from transaction events and machine activity
- Failsafe validation through additional weight and infrared detection systems
- Modern vending hardware formats connected to one centralized control and analytics layer

Capability layers
What enterprise partners actually gain.
Use this page to explain how VendAi combines machine hardware, transaction intelligence, software integrations, and settlement logic into one deployable retail infrastructure layer.
ERP
ERP-ready integration layer
VendAi software can connect machine activity, sales records, and operating data into existing enterprise workflows and larger company ERP environments.
$
Multi-level payment distribution
The platform can allocate collections across operator hierarchies, supporting parent operators, customer-operators, and downstream channel relationships.
IR
Sensor-backed failsafes
Weight and infrared detection layers provide additional validation so charging logic is not dependent on video recognition alone.
INV
Inventory and audit trail
Transactions can update stock logs, create movement records, and support clearer auditability for replenishment, shrinkage review, and exception handling.
OPS
Remote operating control
Operators can manage machine estates, monitor performance, review events, and use data to refine pricing, assortment, uptime, and rollout decisions.
Proof of work
Proven operating capability at platform scale.
VendAi's core technology model is aligned with a platform base that has already supported more than 400,000 smart terminals worldwide across 20+ retail formats, making it easier to position the solution for serious enterprise deployment.
