In the era of rapid technological development, intelligent retail has become an important trend in the retail industry. As a key carrier of intelligent retail, the technical level of vending machines directly determines operational efficiency and profit margins. Zhigou Technology has always regarded technological innovation as its core competitiveness, continuously researching and applying cutting-edge technologies to make each vending machine an efficiently operating "intelligent retail terminal", bringing stronger profit momentum to entrepreneurs.
Empowered by Cutting-Edge Technologies, Creating Intelligent Retail Terminals
Zhigou Technology deeply understands that technology is the soul of vending machines. Over the years, we have continuously invested in research and development, integrating advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and big data into the design and manufacturing of vending machines, creating intelligent equipment that truly meets the needs of the new era of retail.
AI Visual Recognition System: Traditional vending machines rely on channels to identify products, which have problems such as many channel restrictions and cumbersome replenishment. Some high-end models of Zhigou Technology are equipped with an AI visual recognition system, which can accurately identify the type and quantity of products. Without specific channels, products of various shapes and sizes can be easily sold, greatly expanding the business categories. Whether it is irregular toys, cosmetics, or fragile pastries, they can be quickly settled through AI visual recognition, providing entrepreneurs with more diversified business possibilities.
IoT Remote Control: With the help of IoT technology, Zhigou Technology's vending machines have realized comprehensive remote control. Entrepreneurs can view real-time information such as the machine's sales data, inventory status, and equipment operating parameters through a mobile APP or computer background. When a machine fails, the system will automatically alarm and push the cause of the failure. Maintenance personnel can prepare accessories in advance according to the information and quickly 上门 for repairs, significantly reducing downtime. At the same time, product prices can be adjusted remotely and promotional activities can be set without on-site operations, making operation and management more efficient and flexible.
Big Data Intelligent Analysis: Each vending machine of Zhigou Technology is a data collection terminal, constantly collecting data such as consumption habits, purchase time, and product preferences of the surrounding population. Through the big data analysis system, these data are converted into intuitive business suggestions, such as which products sell well on weekday mornings and which products are suitable for promotions on weekends. Entrepreneurs can accurately match consumer needs by selecting products, setting prices, and conducting marketing based on these data, effectively improving product turnover rate and repurchase rate, so that every investment can get the maximum return.
Full Support for Mobile Payments: To adapt to changes in consumers' payment habits, Zhigou Technology's vending machines fully support a variety of mobile payment methods, including WeChat Pay, Alipay, UnionPay Flash Pay, face recognition payment, etc. Among them, face recognition payment does not require carrying a mobile phone, and payment can be completed quickly with just a facial scan, which is especially suitable for consumption in a hurry, such as subway stations and office buildings, greatly improving payment efficiency and consumer experience, and indirectly promoting product sales.
Practical Benefits Brought by Technological Innovation
Technological innovation is not an illusory concept, but can bring tangible benefits to entrepreneurs. The technological innovation of Zhigou Technology reduces operating costs and increases profit margins from multiple dimensions.
In terms of inventory management, the combination of AI visual recognition and IoT technology makes inventory counting more accurate and timely. Entrepreneurs do not need to frequently count on-site. The system will automatically generate inventory reports and remind in time when there is a shortage, avoiding sales losses caused by out-of-stock, and at the same time reducing capital occupation and product loss caused by excessive inventory. According to statistics, entrepreneurs using Zhigou Technology's intelligent inventory management system have an average increase of more than 30% in inventory turnover efficiency.
In terms of labor costs, remote control and automated operations have significantly reduced reliance on manual labor. One staff member can easily manage 10-20 Zhigou Technology vending machines, while traditional vending machines may only manage 5-8. For entrepreneurs with multiple machines, labor costs can be reduced by 40%-50%, significantly improving the overall profit level.
In terms of operational flexibility, technological innovation enables vending machines to quickly adapt to market changes. For example, in sudden hot weather, entrepreneurs can appropriately increase the price of iced drinks through the remote price adjustment function; during festivals, quickly put on festival-related products and set up full reduction activities. This ability to respond quickly to the market makes vending machines more competitive and able to seize every profit opportunity.
Cooperation Cases: Profit Upgrade Driven by Technology
The Road of Category Expansion for Campus Entrepreneurs
College student Xiao Li placed two vending machines equipped with AI visual recognition systems from Zhigou Technology on campus. Initially, he mainly sold snacks and drinks, and later found that students had a great demand for cultural and creative products and small electronic products. With the help of the AI visual recognition system, he added bookmarks, earphones, power banks and other products to the machine without adjusting the channels, and replenishment was also very convenient. These new products are deeply loved by students, bringing him nearly 2,000 yuan more in profit every month. The expansion of business categories has allowed him to occupy a larger share in the campus retail market.
Efficient Management Methods for Chain Operators
A chain retail enterprise cooperated with Zhigou Technology and placed 50 vending machines in the city. Through Zhigou Technology's big data analysis system, the enterprise can clearly grasp the consumption characteristics of different regions: commercial areas prefer high-end snacks and drinks, while industrial areas are mainly 平价商品. Based on this, they configure products differently in various regions and dynamically adjust inventory according to sales data. At the same time, using the remote control system, the headquarters can uniformly set up promotional activities and monitor the operation status of all machines. Compared with operating traditional vending machines before, labor costs have been reduced by 45%, and overall sales have increased by 25%, achieving efficient profits in large-scale operations.
