VPOS plans a shared service route across three automated machine formats

Valencia POS Solutions Private Limited, referred to as VPOS, plans one installation, refill, maintenance and data route for three machine formats: fragrance, snack-and-beverage vending, and soda fountains. In H1 FY2026-27, vending software advanced toward completion with deployment expected over the subsequent six months, the first soda-fountain prototype was demonstrated, and ADV placements increased.

What is VPOS building across its three machine formats?

VPOS is developing an automated retail and dispensing platform comprising Valencia smart vending machines, Bounce Flow soda fountains and Aroma De Valencia, or ADV, fragrance machines. The three-format plan links snack and beverage vending with fresh-beverage dispensing and fragrance diffusion, rather than treating each machine as a standalone product line.

The vending format is intended for snacks and beverages, the soda fountain for fresh beverages, and ADV for fragrance diffusion. VPOS states that each of the three formats would run on Group products and refills: vending machines would be stocked with Group products, soda fountains would use Bounce Flow syrups and carbon dioxide refills, and ADV would use fragrance-oil replenishments.

How will the VPOS shared service route work?

VPOS plans one service route to handle installation, replenishment, maintenance and data across all three machine formats. The proposed operating model is designed to let a single site visit address several machines where their placement categories overlap, rather than requiring separate visits for vending, beverage and fragrance equipment.

Corporate offices are the common planned location for all three formats. ADV and the soda fountain also overlap in restaurants, banquets, malls, hotels and resorts, and theatres, while vending machines and soda fountains share planned locations including colleges and hostels, airports, and metro sites.

The route plan is tied to recurring consumables as well as equipment placement. VPOS says ADV is developing a recurring-revenue model through machine rentals and fragrance-oil consumption and replenishment, while the soda-fountain format is designed around syrup and carbon dioxide refills. This makes the proposed route relevant both to installation and to repeat servicing requirements.

How far have VPOS vending and soda-fountain systems progressed?

VPOS initiated vending-machine ecosystem software development and said it had advanced toward completion in H1 FY2026-27, with operational deployment expected over the subsequent six months. The software is being developed for the snack-and-beverage vending format, which is the planned automated retail component of the three-format system.

The vending-machine hardware framework has also moved through specification work. VPOS evaluated, finalised and approved the machine infrastructure, and finalised the exterior design, dimensions and material specifications, including vacuum-filled toughened sandwich glass for the front panel and cabinet construction, enabling the commencement of manufacturing.

For the soda fountain, VPOS completed its first prototype and showcased it at the Annual General Meeting of Valencia Nutrition Limited. The system architecture includes a carbonation tank, reverse osmosis, or RO, system and water chiller, while the dispensing design incorporates Bag-in-Box, or BIB, packaging, connectors and automated channels intended to support beverage proportioning and mixing.

VPOS also finalised an Android-based touchscreen module for the soda fountain and the specifications for vending-machine components including the chilling unit, touchscreen, controller board, motors and dispensing coils. The soda-fountain prototype is at a demonstration stage, while the vending system has a stated subsequent-six-month deployment expectation; neither format is described as commercially deployed in the update.

What has changed in the ADV fragrance-machine business?

ADV moved from pilot-stage validation toward broader commercial deployment during H1 FY2026-27, according to VPOS. ADV 9000 and ADV 5000 recorded increased placements across commercial spaces, whereas ADV 5 in 1 remained under live pilot testing, with operating feedback being incorporated into product refinements.

This creates a difference in maturity between the three ADV models disclosed in the update. ADV 9000 and ADV 5000 have increased commercial placements, while ADV 5 in 1 is still being tested, including international transportation and operational testing. VPOS also demonstrated ADV 5 in 1 alongside the soda fountain at the Annual General Meeting.

VPOS cites the Mahindra Scorpio Lifestyle Valley Edition launch as an example of ADV delivering a large-scale experiential fragrance solution. Alongside event-management agencies, corporate clients and commercial establishments, VPOS is engaging potential deployment partners to identify additional placements for rental machines and their fragrance-oil refills.

What approvals and operating processes remain important for VPOS?

VPOS secured the stated FSSAI licence, obtained its certificate of incorporation as a Valencia Nutrition Limited subsidiary and received Udyam registration in H1 FY2026-27. It also submitted an application for an Importer Exporter Code, or IEC, and progressed documentation for the respective Bureau of Indian Standards, or BIS, regulatory applications.

The VPOS Device Mark filing cleared the formality check, while the operating model still requires ongoing process refinement. VPOS says it continued refining machine scheduling, fragrance dispensing, refill management, installation, maintenance and fragrance replenishment through feedback from live pilot users, with the stated objective of improving deployment efficiency as the installed machine base expands.

Conclusion

VPOS is building a connected three-format model rather than reporting three unrelated machine projects. In H1 FY2026-27, the business combined a vending system approaching planned deployment, a completed soda-fountain prototype and broader placements for two ADV models, all under a proposed common route for products, refills and service.

The next disclosed milestones are vending-system operational deployment over the subsequent six months, further testing and commercial refinement of the soda fountain, and continued live-pilot feedback for ADV 5 in 1. Progress on BIS applications, the IEC application and deployment opportunities with corporate, commercial and event-management customers will determine how the planned route develops.
