Transforming Gym Retail in Saudi Arabia with Double-Door Gravity Vending Machine
Our Arab client, who operates a large gym, faced several challenges:
- High manual vending costs and inconvenient management;
- Long operating hours meant members often needed to replenish their nutrition during off-peak hours;
- A lack of flexible, intelligent, and low-cost vending methods.
Therefore, they chose to introduce our double-door gravity vending machine to meet their members' needs through smart retail.
Suitable Products
Double-door gravity cabinets are not only suitable for selling protein powder, but also flexibly support:
- Fitness drinks, functional beverages
- High-protein energy bars, meal replacement bars
- Healthy snacks, nuts
- Whey protein powder in bags, cans, and other packaging options
The gravity recognition system accurately detects products of varying weights, preventing missed or incorrect deductions.
Purchasing Process
The entire purchasing experience is simple and efficient, making it ideal for fitness settings:
- Members first swipe their card for identification and pre-authorization;
- Customers open the door and take the items they need;
- After closing the door, the system detects the weight change and automatically deducts payment.
This fully self-service, contactless experience is fast and secure.
Results and Customer Feedback
- Gym members can quickly purchase protein powder for a post-workout refueling experience without having to wait for customer service.
- Gym members no longer need to add additional staff, saving operating costs.
- The equipment operates 24/7, helping customers generate stable additional revenue.
