Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can SynthiaX work with my existing vending machines?
In many cases, yes. SynthiaX supports common unattended machine interfaces such as MDB and pulse. Compatibility depends on the machine and its existing control system, so our team can check your machine before installation.
-
What payment methods can customers use?
SynthiaX payment terminals can support major contactless bank cards and mobile wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
-
What is vending machine telemetry?
Telemetry allows information from your vending machines to be sent remotely to a cloud platform.
Depending on the machine and configuration, this can include sales information, audit data, inventory information and machine status.
-
How can Ardelino help my vending operation?
Ardelino gives you better visibility across your machines.
Instead of visiting every location just to check stock or machine activity, your team can use remote data to help plan refill and maintenance visits.
-
What is a closed-loop payment system?
A closed-loop system is a private payment network used within a specific organisation or location.
For example, a company could give employees Flair cards that contain prepaid credit or a monthly drinks allowance.
-
Can Flair cards and normal bank cards be used together?
Yes, depending on the installation. A machine can be configured to support private Flair card payments alongside standard cashless payment options.
-
Can SynthiaX work with older pulse-based machines?
Yes. SynthiaX provides hardware for connecting modern cashless payments to compatible pulse-based equipment.
This can be particularly useful for older vending machines, amusement machines, kiddie rides and other legacy equipment.
-
Do I need telemetry to use a SynthiaX payment terminal?
Not necessarily.
You can choose the products that suit your operation. Some businesses may only need cashless payments, while others may benefit from combining payments with telemetry and remote machine management.
-
Can I test SynthiaX before upgrading my whole fleet?
Yes. You can start with a demo device before deciding whether to roll the system out across more machines.
This gives your team a chance to test compatibility, installation and day-to-day operation in a real environment.
