The fresh-fruit smoothie vending machines have since emerged as the new focus of the industry after years of establishing a strong presence in Vietnam. Bloggers and travelers swarm to the stores to make a photo and have a drink.
According to a recent survey, 31 percent of the Vietnamese consumers choose to consume fruit smoothies and make a choice concerning the type of ice-cream when they decide to take a drink. 7-Eleven responded to this demand by introducing an ice-cream-style vending machine that freezes the nutrients of the fruit and allows the consumers to select their flavor preferences. More than 100 cups can be sold within one day in a single store.
The success of the machine is attributed to the high levels of technology. High-speed mixing transforms fresh fruit into a smoothie in 60 seconds, and the process is similarly as quick as the modern lifestyle. The product is hygienic and safe through automatic cleaning. An integrated 20 language interface eliminates the language barrier both to the locals and to tourists. The 24-hour self-service, the machine eliminates staff at the peak hour duties and enhances the shopping experience.
Remote management is made possible by smart inventory and sales data. The stores can trace loss of raw-material, anticipate re-stocking, and even change plans of supplies according to taste preferences. This leads to cost reduction and increased productive efforts.
