Fully managed
We manage stocking, replenishment, monitoring and service coordination so your team doesn't have to.
Fully managed automated retail
Smart retail for modern workplaces.
Horizon Automated Retail provides modern, cashless food and drink vending without adding another job to your site team. We assess, install, stock, monitor and manage the service from end to end.
Our customer-facing automated retail product, operated by Horizon.
The service
Workplace vending without the admin.
Horizon is the operator behind the machine. For approved fully managed locations, we supply the equipment, coordinate installation, keep it stocked, monitor performance and manage ongoing maintenance.
The aim is simple: convenient access to food and drink for the people using your site, with as little host involvement as possible.
Data led
Actual sales performance informs replenishment and helps refine the range around what your people really buy.
Built around the site
A 24-hour logistics site should not necessarily receive the same range or service pattern as an office or gym.

How it works
We only install where the site makes sense.
Every prospective location is assessed before equipment is committed. That gives the host a better service and gives Horizon the information needed to operate it properly.
Assess
We understand workforce, operating hours, current refreshment options and the proposed location.
Tailor
If the site looks suitable, we recommend the setup and an initial product range appropriate to the audience.
Install
For approved fully managed sites, Horizon supplies and operates the vending equipment.
Optimise
We monitor sales, replenish stock and adapt the range based on real demand rather than guesswork.
Who it's for
Designed for places where convenience matters.
VNDI can be particularly useful where people spend significant time on site, work outside conventional hours or have limited practical access to refreshments.
Manufacturing
Convenient access for production teams, including early, late and night shifts.
Warehousing & logistics
For warehouse teams, drivers and operations staff working around demanding schedules.
Offices
An additional workplace amenity without operating a staffed retail service.
Gyms & leisure
Cashless access to hydration, energy, protein products and convenient snacks.
Our approach
A machine has to earn its place.
We aren't interested in forcing equipment into unsuitable locations. Where appropriate, a 60-day trial lets real customer behaviour determine whether the location works for both Horizon and the host site.
FAQ
Straight answers before you make a decision.
For approved fully managed VNDI locations, Horizon supplies and operates the equipment. We first assess whether the site is commercially and operationally suitable.
Horizon manages replenishment and coordinates ongoing maintenance as part of the managed service.
Yes. We begin with a range selected around the expected customer profile, then use real sales information to identify what should stay, change or expand.
It can. Extended and multi-shift workplaces are often attractive because automated retail remains available outside conventional café or canteen hours. Site suitability still depends on the wider picture.
No. Workforce, access, existing alternatives, operating pattern and the proposed machine position all matter. That is why every site starts with an assessment.
Site assessment
Could your workplace support VNDI?
Tell us a little about the site and we'll establish whether it is worth exploring. There is no need to make a decision before we understand the location.
