Remote Vend
Designed to be fast, intuitive and secure, OPTO is a digital contactless payment solution invented by a team of scientists and engineers to simplify life in vending.
The connection with the vending machine is established automatically without NFC, but using a patented technology based on the light of the phones’ screen.
Light frequencies are easily seen by the naked eye but are almost impossible to replicate due to the presence of ambient light surrounding the signal, making it the safest choice to transmit data.
The dedicated App enables payment with any vending machine equipped with an OPTO reader, independently from the vending operator or national borders. Top-ups can be done with cash, credit cards or other electronic payment instruments.
OPTO is the start of the vending revolution!
OPTO transforms any vending machine into a safe place to enjoy a stress-free and limitless coffee break, offering operators a tool that allows to make their vending machines work in any situation, overcoming all obstacles that have arisen in the last year.
OPTO Remote Vend introduces a new revolutionary feature: the user can now select and pay for the product directly from the screen of the smartphone.
A totally innovative and contactless experience that avoids any contact of hands and fingers with the vending machine. This eliminates all health and hygiene concerns on the part of schools, companies, offices, etc.
With OPTO Remote Vend, the distributor really has all the credentials to provide a safe service from every point of view, reassuring even the most fearful: there are no more excuses to block the vending machines or limit their use.
OPTO Remote Vend is truly contactless: simply open the app and bring the phone close to the OPTO reader to initiate a secure connection with the distributor.
OPTO automatically receives information on the products that are available in the machine and displays it on the mobile phone screen. With a simple touch, the product is selected, sugar is dosed and the dispensing starts without the need to operate on the keyboard or on the touch screen of the dispenser.
Payment is simultaneous with selection and is made through certified banking channels.
The user can save his choice to speed up future purchases and reduce the risk of errors: how many times does it happen in fact to select the usual coffee and then forget to dose the sugar and end up with a "bad coffee"?
You can also make multiple purchases from the same machine without having to re-establish the connection, thus facilitating the gesture of offering a coffee to your colleagues, guaranteeing a coffee break with friends. In the event of failed sales, the amount is automatically refunded, thus reducing costly manual management.
With just one app, it is finally possible to make purchases on any vending machine, regardless of the vending machine brand and managing company: cappuccino, brioche, water and snacks in a single application, without borders.
With OPTO Remote Vend, the distributor really has all it takes to provide a safe service from every point of view, reassuring even the most fearful: there are no more excuses to block the vending machines or limit their use.
