ENGELTEC, Vendon official distributor in DACH region, will be at Vendtra in Munich on 23–24 September 2025 at the Olympiahalle in Olympiapark. Vendtra is one of the key meeting points for the German vending and coffee industry, bringing together operators, suppliers, and manufacturers to discuss solutions that make daily operations more reliable and efficient.
Everyday challenges, practical solutions
In vending, two problems cause the most damage: downtime and failed payments. Both mean instant loss of revenue, unhappy customers, and higher service costs. ENGELTEC’s mission is to help operators turn these weak points into areas of control.
As Ulli Engel, founder of ENGELTEC, puts it:
“In daily operations, every minute of downtime or failed payment counts. With the right tools – from smart telemetry to reliable payment solutions and efficient service processes – operators can actively manage these risks. That’s exactly what ENGELTEC stands for, and that’s exactly what we’ll be presenting at Vendtra.”
One ecosystem: Vendon Cloud at the center
At Vendtra, ENGELTEC will show how all payment and service tools connect into a single ecosystem with Vendon Cloud at its core.
- Whether it’s Coges cash systems, a pin-on-screen card reader,
- closed-loop solutions, Vendon Contactless
- or QuickPik, every payment flows into the same platform.
Operators no longer have to track systems separately or deal with blind spots—they get full visibility in real time. That means they can see exactly how machines are performing, react quickly to issues, and plan routes based on data instead of guesswork.
From payments to perks
Reliable acceptance is crucial, and Coges Payments covers every scenario: cash, card, and closed-loop environments such as workplaces or campuses. Vendon Contactless makes everyday transactions faster and smoother, fitting customer habits as contactless already dominates retail in Germany. On top of that, QuickPik gives operators a way to offer rewards or employee perks directly through an app, with no extra hardware. Together, these solutions keep payments simple, secure, and profitable.
Why this matters now
Germany remains one of Europe’s strongest vending markets with:
- over 621,000 machines
- more than 4 billion vends per year.
- At the same time, card and mobile payments are rising fast—contactless now accounts for nearly 9 out of 10 girocard transactions.
The message is clear: operators need both smart telemetry and flexible payment options to keep pace with consumer habits and protect revenue.
