No credit card required · 10 free credits included · Takes 60 seconds
From finding your next location to managing products and margin — one tool handles it all so you can focus on placing machines and collecting revenue.
Search any US ZIP code and get ranked prospects — warehouses, schools, apartments, medical offices — with vending scores, foot traffic estimates, and AI-ranked opportunity potential.
Lead FinderEvery result comes with the decision-maker — the GM, facilities director, or owner who signs vending contracts. Reveal their direct email and phone with a single credit.
Contact IntelligenceLocation Planner matches your catalog to each site's demographic. Know whether to lead with Celsius and protein or Jarritos and Takis before you walk through the door.
Product StrategyFull catalog with editable COGS and sell prices. Instant margin analysis flags underperformers and tells you exactly what to reprice or replace to hit your targets.
Margin AnalysisNot every location needs a $7,000 smart market. VendBuddy matches the right machine to the right location based on foot traffic, location type, and your budget.
Machine FinderProfessional vending placement agreements pre-filled from your pipeline. Download and have a signed contract the same day you close a location.
Contract CreatorThree steps between you and a new machine placement — and none of them involve cold calling a receptionist.
Pick a location type or use "All" to cast a wide net. VendBuddy searches the area and returns ranked prospects with vending scores, employee counts, and foot traffic estimates.
See the decision-maker's name and title — then use 1 credit to unlock their direct email and phone. No gatekeepers, no guessing who to call.
Add to your pipeline, run the ROI calc, build the location's product plan, generate the contract, and sign — all without leaving the platform.

"I placed 3 machines in the first two weeks. I already knew how to run a vending route — I just didn't know how to find the locations or who to talk to. VendBuddy solved both."
"The product planner alone saved me from a costly mistake. I almost stocked a warehouse location with the wrong items entirely. The demographic breakdown changes how I pitch every location."
"I run a full-time job and a vending side business. Having everything — leads, contracts, margins — in one place means I can run my route in the gaps of my day, not around it."
