KIKO Milano × VENDY1
Beauty meets Vending.
How do you combine the emotion of a beauty brand with the efficiency of automated retail? With VENDY1, you place your product range exactly where decisions are made – visible, digital, and available 24/7.
The Challenge
KIKO Milano wanted to reach customers even where there is no physical store – at the exact moment when attention turns into a purchase. The solution needed to be 100% brand-compliant and function without additional staff.
The Solution
VENDY1 relies on automated retail spaces: High-end vending machines that blend seamlessly into the brand world. With contactless payment, ambient LED lighting, cloud control, and a perfect planogram, the assortment is presented in a premium way.
- 24/7 access in high-traffic zones (malls, transit)
- Brand-compliant appearance – color, light, visual language
- Operationally efficient – reporting & inventory digitally controlled
Location & Rollout
The case shown here was implemented in Essen. The machine is also used as a flexible space to bridge renovations and modernizations – keeping the brand visible and generating revenue, even when a store is temporarily closed.
Results & Conclusion
The space stands out, invites interaction, and measurably complements the store through increased visual contacts and sales of trial sizes. Automated retail spaces bridge the gap between online reach and a tangible brand experience.
