Here’s what makes a Smart Cooler stand out:
Effortless and User-Friendly Bloomington's diverse workforce—from State Farm's 13,000+ white-collar professionals to the 30,000+ college students across Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University campuses—demands convenient, modern payment solutions. Our AI smart cooler vending machines utilize cutting-edge technology to deliver quick access with multiple payment methods including credit/debit cards, Apple/Google Pay, and the 365Pay App, ensuring seamless transactions whether you're grabbing a beverage during your shift on Veterans Parkway or between classes in Uptown Normal. The integrated interface also lets you easily review product ingredients and nutritional details before purchasing, a feature particularly valued by health-conscious ISU and IWU students and the substantial healthcare worker population from OSF HealthCare and Advocate BroMenn Medical Center who frequent our locations throughout the Bloomington-Normal corridor.
Enhanced Security Smart Coolers can be tailored for added security, with options to be locked or unlocked as needed. When locked, just pay, select, scan, and enjoy your items. This feature makes them ideal for semi-private areas such as the Illinois State University and Illinois Wesleyan University campuses, where student populations benefit from controlled access during peak hours, as well as healthcare facilities like OSF HealthCare and Advocate BroMenn Medical Center, airports, gyms, and corporate environments—particularly the secure office parks along Veterans Parkway and around State Farm's headquarters district where employee access management is paramount.
