Smart Beverage is bringing innovation to the outdated beverage industry.
We offer healthy beverage options; equipment; and exceptional,
AI- and IoT-powered customer service.

Our mission is to implement the use of smart technologies to increase efficiencies and end-user beverage dispensing security and operations in military food service.

We provide food and beverage equipment that monitors for food safety and security, maintenance issues and operation viability. We use a Beverage as a Service (BAAS) approach which relies on machine-integrated, real-time smart technologies to improve beverage dispensation services across the board.

Non-Alcoholic Beverage Industry, est. 1970s

INNOVATING
Embracing new technology and automation, including IoT and Machine Learning to quickly identify problems with equipment and inventory management
 

STREAMLINING
Reimagining the national distribution and service model, reducing transportation and labor costs
 

SCALING
Achieving economies of scale through rapid growth and acquisition of smaller, regional players for a fraction of their value

SMART BEVERAGE uses IoT smart technologies (including  AI and machine learning) to provide improved service, security, and efficiencies to beverage dispensing machines in institutional and commercial food service settings. It uses this technology to address many known inefficiencies in the non-alcoholic beverage dispensing market, such as:

Improved beverage safety and security
SMART BEVERAGE uses real time data to maximize food safety and minimize public health risks, such as exposure to COVID-19, among individuals using food service facilities.

Healthier beverage options
We use economies of scale, improved distribution and connected equipment to introduce more health-focused non-alcoholic beverage options, such as smoothies and fresh-fruit product lines,  within institutional and commercial settings. This change pivots the beverage-dispensing focus from just hydration to hydration and nutrition, improving overall nutritional offerings in institutional and commercial settings.

Lack of modernization and automation in existing beverage dispensing
The industry overall has not integrated new mechanical and data technologies to improve efficiencies.

Issues with mechanical failure
Integrating IoT, AI, and machine learning reduces machine downtime and allows for preventative maintenance.

Profitability and waste issues
SMART BEVERAGE offers providers better opportunities for inventory management, asset management (product and equipment), and consumption tracking

Industry-wide market fragmentation
While there are two major beverage providers (Coke and Pepsi) in the industry, the marketplace is fragmented and comprised of independent operators, limiting the ability to procure other beverages.
