Smart Cooler Issues Solved with Gravity-Fed Shelves
Why “phantom out-of-stock” happens in real locations—and how gravity-fed shelving keeps your cooler looking full, organized, and sales-ready without relying on perfect shopper behavior.
Your smart cooler looks flawless on installation day—clean shelves, perfect product facing, and an immediate boost in sales. But just a few days later, those numbers drop sharply. The system shows no errors, no alerts, and no technical issues. Yet when you look inside, the shelves are messy, products are pushed back, and the entire display appears half-empty. The cooler isn’t malfunctioning at all—it simply looks broken. And that visual chaos is enough to make customers assume the products are gone, walk away, and cost you sales you should be capturing.
The Smart Cooler Problem: Humans Skip Push Plates
Most smart coolers assume customers will gently use push plates. Reality? Shoppers rush, grab quickly, and shove items aside. Products jam, shelves gap, and the cooler appears empty even when fully stocked—creating a “phantom out-of-stock” that kills sales.
The ReyVend Smart Cooler Fix: Gravity-Fed Shelving
ReyVend is built for real human behavior, not ideal scenarios. Our shelves sit at a slight tilt so gravity constantly pulls products forward, maintaining perfect presentation with zero effort. Even when customers rush, grab awkwardly, or completely ignore the push plate, items automatically slide back into a clean, front-faced position. This means your cooler always looks fully stocked, organized, and inviting—no matter how busy the location or how messy shoppers get.
The Guaranteed Result: Always Full, Always Appealing
- Maximized Sales: Products stay front and visible.
- Human-Proof: Works perfectly even with rushed or messy shoppers.
- Protected Investment: Your smart cooler maintains its premium look daily.
Vision-only recognition hardware supports high accuracy without relying on weight sensors.
