IVM is deeply honored to be interviewed by Sing Tao Daily for their featured report in "Daily Magazine"! Being featured alongside veteran industry pioneers to explore the future of vending machines and unmanned retail in Hong Kong is a huge affirmation and encouragement for our entire team.
💡 Endorsing GM Rex's Forward-Looking Vision: Breaking Traditional Barriers with AI
We strongly resonate with the profound market insights shared by our General Manager, Rex, during the interview. Facing fierce competition among over 10,000 vending machines across Hong Kong, traditional single-category vending models can no longer satisfy the diverse demands of modern consumers. Independent operators must rely on AI technology, big data analytics, and refined operations to expand into diverse categories—such as health products and chilled foods—to truly empower venues and carve out new opportunities!
🏛️ Reflecting on Industry Reality: Vending Should Return to "Serving the Public"
At the same time, we fully agree with the deep reflection raised by industry sources in the report: Government departments must consider broader factors and actual citizen experience when tendering for third-party vending operators.
When visiting many government venues (such as sports centers, parks, or public facilities), it’s common to see vending machines offering only a single brand or a handful of products, resulting in extremely limited choices. This rigid operating model strays far from the original intent of vending machines—which is to bring convenience and timely, high-quality replenishment to the public.
🚀 IVM's Commitment & Future Vision
A truly great smart vending kiosk should never be just about "setting up a machine to sell water." It should be a 24/7 unmanned retail service station offering rich choices and seamless experiences.
IVM looks forward to collaborating with more government departments and public institutions in the future to introduce more flexible, product-rich AI smart vending solutions to public spaces—ensuring unmanned retail technology genuinely benefits every citizen!
