Why UK operators need more control — and what we’ll show at Vendex Midlands

2 min read | March 5

On 25 March 2026, Vendon and Coges will exhibit together at Vendex Midlands.

We’re participating with a clear focus: operational control.

For UK vending and OCS operators, 2026 continues to bring structural pressure. Labour costs remain high. National wage increases are affecting service margins. Fuel prices are unpredictable.

In this environment, visibility isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s how you protect margins.

That’s what we’ll be demonstrating throughout the day at stand 116 (next to Coffetek).

Control starts with visibility

When engineer time is expensive, unnecessary call-outs are not sustainable.

At Vendex, we’ll walk visitors through Vendon Cloud, showing how machine status, sales data and payment activity come together in one platform — giving you clearer oversight of costs, revenue and daily team operations.

Payments that work — and when they don’t, you know why

If a card reader fails or transactions stop processing, operators need to know immediately — not hours later through complaints from a corporate site.

We’ll demonstrate payment options for both coffe and vending machines, and show how machine performance and transactions are connected – visibility that helps protect both revenue and customer trust.

Loyalty that supports workplace benefits

In many UK workplaces, employers are looking for practical ways to offer added value to employees — subsidised drinks, free beverages, or internal benefit programmes.

At Vendex, you’ll have the opportunity to test the QuickPik loyalty app yourself and ask questions directly to our team.

We’ll also present the latest app updates, including the white-label option, which allows the app to be branded under your company’s — or the client’s  — identity.

Join us for a coffee and conversation

If you’re reviewing telemetry, payments or loyalty this year, visit our stand 116.

Our teams will be there throughout the day to discuss your current setup and explore how stronger operational visibility can help reduce unnecessary costs.

We look forward to seeing you.
