Smart coolers
Intelligent micro-stores in fridges, freezers or cabinets
Unmanned sales with digital smart fridges
Smart refrigerators make it possible to sell food, drinks and other products without any staff. The customer swipes the card, opens the door and takes what they want - when the door closes, the purchase is automatically registered via RFID and the customer is charged. No queuing, no manual handling.
Freshly prepared food in the office, healthy snacks in the hospital - or why not rent out paddle rackets. The uses of the smart fridge, which is also available as a freezer or unrefrigerated cabinet, are virtually unlimited.
How does a Smartkyl work?
The customer swipes their card, opens the door and takes what they need. When the door closes, the cabinet self-inventories and the customer is charged for what they took. You easily track all transactions and inventory in real time, with the ability to customize everything from prices to promotions.
Our leasing solutions with accompanying support make it possible for anyone to set up a smart Microstore without large investments or the need for maintenance.

Sell your own food - and reduce food waste
Unlike a regular vending machine, you can sell fresh and fragile food packages in a smart fridge. This has prompted hospitals, gyms and caterers around Sweden to offer healthy food to their visitors - around the clock, without staff on site.
Östersund Hospital is a concrete example. They started with 6 cabinets and today operate over 20 smart fridges in the hospital. By automatically discounting goods close to their expiration date, they have reduced food waste by over 80 %. Smart for the environment. Smart for the economy.
Benefits of our smart refrigerators
Unmanned sales - Grab & Go
The customer swipes the card, opens the door and takes what they need. The card reader handles all payment methods - bank cards, digital wallets, Swish and RFID. And because the customer picks freely, the average value per purchase increases compared to a regular vending machine.
Broader range
Goods in the smart fridge are not limited by size or fragility. Freshly prepared food, fruit, mini-pharmacy baskets or paddle racket rentals - these are examples of things a regular vending machine cannot handle.
RFID technology for full traceability
Our RFID technology connects the goods, the cabinet and your backend office. Every product is tracked at item level - from replenishment to purchase. You see exactly what is sold, in which cabinet and when.
Real-time data and remote management
Via the backend office, you follow sales, stock status and temperature log in real time. You - and our support - can manage the cabinets remotely, lock, open, restart or update them without having to be on site.
Dynamic pricing and promotions
With the RFID tag, you can easily adjust prices, run package promotions, give discounts at certain times or differentiate prices in different lockers. Promotions are displayed directly on the locker screen.
Management of expiry dates
Reduce food waste automatically - set a discount that kicks in when goods are nearing their best-before date. The backend office also gives you a clear overview of which items in which fridges need to be sold out.
