Coin Free Combo – The Evolution of the Bulk Vending Industry

Orlando, FL-April 25, 2006 – Coin Free LLC debuted the new Coin Free Combo at the National Bulk Vending Association’s Annual Trade Show in Las Vegas Nevada. The Coin Free Combo is the first bulk vending machine to accept both Coin, Credit & Debit Cards, while dispensing a wide variety of products ranging from bulk candy, to 1” round and acorn capsules, to 2.3” round and acorn capsules.

With the Combo, vending operators choose 4, 8, 12, or 16 tank configurations. The ingenious Combo design allows for easy servicing, as all tanks are removable and swappable. Coin Free’s patented crank design allows tank removal that takes seconds versus hours for other multi-tank designs requiring complete disassembly for servicing and product restocking. With the Combo you turn the crank with one hand and pull the tanks out with the other, it’s that simple.

The patented Coin Free cashless payment system allows consumers and operators a desperately needed payment option in today’s emerging cashless economy. For the past several years operators across the country have seen decreasing profits due to consumers carrying less cash in pocket and increasing product costs. The Combo eliminates these problems by allowing wireless point-of-sales credit/debit card approvals, while giving the operator the ability to break the 25 cent and $1 barrier. Operators can also choose a minimum sale for cashless transactions, for example $2, and optionally charge sales tax in states collecting that revenue.

Credit and Debit card acceptance has been shown to increase sales up to 35% due to ease of multiple transactions and consumers not being restricted to cash in pocket.

Coin Free allows operators to easily achieve total financial accountability with My Coin Free. Through the website www.mycoinfree.us Coin Free Operators have a secured account page detailing sales data and maintenance needs for every machine in the field. My Coin Free provides real time sales reporting, inventory tracking, and automatic maintenance alerts taking the guesswork out of the operators’ business. The machine calls the operator when it’s time for product restocking, money collection, or when the battery is getting low.

Operators with route employees can rest easy knowing how much money should be collected and returned, while the mandatory service button tracks employees along the service route. Credit and Debit card sales deposit directly into the operators’ bank account, reducing the risks of theft and vandalism as less cash will be stored in the machine.

Measuring 58” x 19” x 19” the durable, versatile and wireless Combo goes anywhere securing your business in a world of change. For more information about the Combo and other Coin Free products visit www.coinfree.us
