The Travel Essentials Vending Machine

Traveling can be both an exciting and stressful experience, especially when it comes to staying connected on the go. We understand that a dead battery or a missing pair of headphones can turn a smooth journey into a stressful ordeal – especially if your boarding pass is on your mobile wallet …

That’s why we are thrilled to announce our latest innovation: The Travel Essentials Machine. This state-of-the-art machine is designed to meet the needs of modern travellers, offering a convenient solution for all your tech accessory needs.

Case Study: Manchester Airport

We partnered with Vibe – one of the UK’s leading wholesale suppliers of premium mobile phone accessories, to bring exclusive, high-quality travel essentials to Manchester Airport. Within the first week, sales surpassed £600, showcasing the high demand for this innovative vending machine, including:

  1. Power Banks: Never worry about a dead battery again. Our high-capacity power banks will keep your devices charged throughout your journey.
  2. Chargers: Forgot your charger at home? No problem. We offer a range of charging cables for different devices, including USB-C and Micro USB.
  3. Headphones: An easily misplaced essential, we currently stock wireless earphones with Bluetooth connectivity for seamless, high-quality audio.
  4. Adapters: Traveling internationally? Our machine offers a selection of adapters compatible with various global plug types to ensure you can use your devices wherever you go.

Our Services

Our services at Manchester Airport have significantly expanded to cater to the diverse needs of travellers. Whether you are an independent traveller needing a quick protein pick-me-up, or a family wanting a bag of goodies to share on the plane, our snack machines are always filled with a diverse product range to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Additionally, travellers often experience dehydration whilst waiting for or returning from flights; queuing for hours through baggage and security with an itching thirst is definitely no pleasure. From a sugary Red Bull to a fresh Juice Burst, we ensure all tastes are catered for, as well as having exclusive cold-water machines strategically located by boarding gates to provide passengers with accessible hydration before and during their flights.

We also understand the frustration of having to queue and sit down just for a coffee – if you are in a rush to get to your gate but need a caffeine boost, our machines are available for a fraction of the price. Our barista-quality hot drinks range expanses from a rich hot chocolate to an intense, bold espresso, depending on your pre or post-flight needs.

Innovation

To further enhance convenience and efficiency at Manchester Airport, we have implemented cutting-edge machines, including Invenda which offers a new, interactive vending experience for travellers, a Travel Essentials machine to supply last-minute, premium mobile and travel accessories, and have previously installed PPE machines exclusively selling face coverings during Covid-19, highlighting our ability to quickly respond to emerging needs and prioritise passenger safety.

Through these diverse offerings, we showcase our dedication to adaptability and continuous innovation to enhance the passenger experience at Manchester Airport. Next time you’re passing through, make sure to check out our diverse vending range and experience the convenience for yourself!
