Healthcare challenge
Why healthcare facilities are switching to smart vending.
In care environments, convenience must be fast, controlled and dependable. Smart vending gives access without adding service chaos.
Traditional hospital retail
- Limited opening hours leave night shifts and visitors without options.
- Staffed counters add cost and create queues in sensitive areas.
- Little visibility on stock makes refills reactive instead of planned.
Wendor healthcare layer
- 24/7 access for visitors, families and shift teams.
- Cashless checkout by card, wallet or QR.
- A controlled product range for care environments.
- Service and stock visibility to avoid surprises.

Vending in Brazil
Running vending machines in Brazil
Brazil is PIX country: instant payments by QR code have become the most used payment method in the country. Operators also deal with a complex tax system, electronic consumer receipts and a power supply that varies between 127 V and 220 V by city.
How people pay in Brazil
PIX is fast, free for consumers and used for almost everything, so it should be on every machine.
- PIX
- Instant payment by dynamic QR code from any Brazilian bank app.
- Debit and credit cards
- Contactless Visa, Mastercard and Elo.
- Digital wallets
- Mercado Pago and others, depending on the payment gateway.
Licences and rules
- Health surveillance
- Food vending follows ANVISA rules and local health surveillance (vigilância sanitária) licensing.
- INMETRO
- Imported electrical equipment may need INMETRO certification.
- Electronic receipts
- Many states require an electronic consumer invoice (NFC-e) or equivalent for retail sales.
- Taxes
- Imports carry import duty, IPI, PIS/COFINS and state ICMS. Model them before ordering.
Pricing and tax
Plan every Brazilian project on the all-in landed cost in BRL, not the machine price alone.
- Landed cost = machine + freight + import duty + IPI + PIS/COFINS + ICMS.
- Portuguese on-screen text and labels are expected.
- A pilot of a few machines helps validate PIX conversion before larger imports.
On the ground
- Power
- Mains voltage is 127 V or 220 V depending on the city, at 60 Hz. Confirm the site voltage and machine specification first.
- Climate
- Heat and humidity in much of the country mean chilled machines need ventilation.
- How we support the rollout
- Our international team scopes the project with you, and every machine reports stock, sales and faults in real time. Most issues are diagnosed remotely, and you see the same dashboard we do.
Where first machines usually go
- CondominiumsUnattended mini-markets and machines in residential buildings are a fast-growing format.
- Offices and co-working spacesSnacks and drinks paid by PIX.
- GymsDrinks and protein snacks.
- Hospitals and universitiesRound-the-clock demand.
This is a planning guide, not legal or tax advice. Rules and rates change, so confirm current requirements with the authority named before you launch. Which payment methods a machine accepts depends on the payment terminal and gateway chosen for your sites.
