SB Software

We are technology specialists, sharply focused on needs specific to the vending, office coffee and micromarket sectors. Our software systems were created right from the outset to make things simply better. Initially in vending, then in office coffee too, and now increasingly in micromarkets.

Today, we make the best management systems, anywhere, supported by our award-winning help team – so clients can make their own business the best it can be.

Every year, we invest ever more in our people, our products and our services. And this makes Vendmanager (vending) and Coffeemanager (OCS) even more effective.

We take pride in harnessing in-house the best technology expertise there is anywhere (spanning software, hardware and integration). And, with many of our crew drawn from vending themselves, we deploy our frontline sector experience to concrete commercial benefit for our customers.

We serve the whole of the British Isles, with technical/account managers located nationwide, to be close on hand for customers.

We make vending smarter through connected hardware and cutting-edge software. Our solution can digitalize any Point of Sale, which in turn helps operators to drastically increase revenues and reduce cost to serve. 

Besides these business impacts, our digitalisation and telemetry can help reduce operations’ CO2 emissions and food waste by making operating a POS much more efficient. As our digitalization kits can be fitted also on old existing machines, our customers can benefit from these efficiency gains without having to buy a brand new machine, so we are also extending the lifespan of these POS, thereby avoiding or delaying CO2 emissions related to manufacturing and shipping of new machines.

From our start as a service provider in Switzerland, we have grown into a globally active tech partner with more than 150 customers in Europe and overseas.  We’re constantly undertaking research and development to implement new technology and push the boundaries of what’s possible. This is the fuel that motivates the team and drives the countless successful projects and innovations we have delivered.
