Who Core-1 is being designed for

Independent operators

Solo operators running their own route who want hardware they can own, repair, and move when the location changes.

Small fleet owners

Operators with a handful of machines across a couple of accounts who want predictable per-shelf service parts instead of full-unit replacement when something fails.

Owner-operators of mid-traffic locations

Offices, warehouses, and mid-traffic public spaces where the operator is also the business running the location — vending is a side revenue, not a primary operation.

Replacement buyers

Operators replacing aging, unrepairable machines who want the next purchase to be field-serviceable rather than another sealed box that has to ship back to the manufacturer.

Preorder Open

Reserve Your Machine

Preorder reservations are open at $500/machine toward your purchase.
