Answer Vending

Through its Get in the Cool Zone program, Answer Vending is bringing fresh and nutritious snacks to schools and businesses in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York. Answer Vending initiated the program in 2003 to help reverse the obesity epidemic in the United States. Guided by a proven wellness plan, the company stocks its Get in the Cool Zone machines with healthy snacks from well-known companies such as Quaker, Clif Bar, Del Monte, Kashi, and Chiquita. While offering healthy alternatives, Answer Vending also supplies more conventional vending machine snacks and premium beverages, including a comprehensive coffee service. This broad range of options allows Answer Vending to continuously rotate and update product lines in each machine. Many vending machines come equipped with a cellular modem that sends reports on inventory levels, system performance, and temperature changes directly to the company’s service team. This helps Answer Vending evaluate the sales of individual products and ensure its machines are always well stocked and functioning properly, resulting in a high level of customer service. All of the company’s technicians boast extensive factory training and additional education with machine repair, defensive driving, handheld computing, and customer service.

Based in Farmingdale, New York, Answer Vending began developing revolutionary solutions to snacking in 1991. In addition to its all-inclusive health food initiative, Answer Vending also endeavors to preserve the environment by integrating green technology in its equipment. The company teams with top manufacturers that build ENERGY STAR-rated machines with HFC-free compressor technology, LED lighting, and sophisticated energy controls. To make the payment process simple, Answer Vending pioneered ground-breaking technologies, such as EZ Pass, DEX coding, and the MasterCard PayPass system.
