How VendLocus works
A simple route from idea
to the right conversation.
Tell Us About Your Location
Share your setting and what you would like to improve. You do not need every technical detail to start.
We Explore Suitable Solutions
We consider equipment types, practical fit and the actual coverage of potential operators.
Compare Your Options
Where suitable options can be identified, we help you understand the formats and proposed arrangements.
Move Forward With Your Operator
You and the operator agree the equipment, installation, stocking, servicing and commercial terms directly.
VendLocus helps with communication and coordination. Identifying details are shared only after the agreed introduction process and your authorised representative’s confirmation. A suitable match or installation is not guaranteed.

Our purpose
Helping modern convenience
find its place.
Our long-term mission is to support the development of modern vending and automated retail in the UK. We bring the needs of locations and the capabilities of operators into one clear conversation — with more choice and one independent point of contact.
Does my location pay VendLocus?
Your venue pays no VendLocus introduction fee. This does not mean the equipment or installation is always free. You agree equipment, product, service and other commercial terms directly with the operator.
Do I need to choose a machine before contacting you?
No. Start with what would make your site more convenient. Tell us about your setting and who would use the solution. You are under no obligation to proceed after an initial enquiry.
Are all these machines available through VendLocus?
No. The gallery shows a wider range of UK market categories. Selected operator profiles have been reviewed; other formats need further partner confirmation or sourcing. Machine availability, service coverage and site suitability are checked for each enquiry.
Who installs, stocks and services the machines?
The appropriate operator or provider handles the equipment and services agreed with your location. VendLocus helps with communication, matching and introductions. We do not manufacture, buy, own, install, stock or service machines.
Can you help with enquiries in Aberdeen and Scotland?
We welcome UK enquiries, including Aberdeen and Scotland. We check the actual coverage and capabilities of potential operators for your site. This does not promise a suitable operator in every area.
When are my identifying location details shared?
After internal review, operator interest, agreement of any required fee terms and confirmation from your authorised representative. Initial summaries are limited and reviewed to avoid identifying your site.
Is operator registration free?
Yes. Register your business free of charge, with no subscription or upfront registration fee. Any VendLocus introduction fee and its payment trigger are agreed separately in writing for the specific opportunity before an introduction. Registration does not guarantee locations or revenue.
