What is NearU

Convenience, Automated.

NearU operates a managed network of smart vending machines that puts everyday essentials exactly where people already study, work, stay and train — open at 2 a.m. as reliably as at 2 p.m.

24/7 Access

Essential products available beyond cafeteria and store hours — late nights, early mornings, weekends and holidays included.

Cashless & Convenient

Customers buy in seconds using digital payments. No cash box, no change, no queue and nothing for your staff to reconcile.

Fully Managed

NearU handles product selection, stocking, refilling, maintenance and service. Your only job is to say where the machine goes.

Our solutions

Vending Solutions Built for Your Environment

Same managed service, four very different product mixes. What goes into the machine is decided by who walks past it.

How it works

From Installation to Refill, We Handle It.

Six steps from first conversation to a machine that quietly does its job every day. You supply the space and the power point; we supply everything else.

01

Site Assessment

We visit, understand your location, footfall and what the people there actually want to buy.

02

Machine Installation

A smart vending machine is delivered, installed and commissioned at the selected location.

03

Product Curation

Products are chosen for that specific audience — a hostel corridor and a gym floor get different machines.

04

Cashless Purchase

Customers pay in seconds by UPI. Failed dispenses are refunded automatically.

05

Smart Inventory Management

Every transaction is data. We watch what sells, what stalls and what the machine should be carrying next week.

06

Regular Refill & Service

Our route team keeps the machine stocked, clean and operational. You are never asked to touch it.

Products

Products People Actually Need

Not a catalogue of a thousand SKUs — a tight, fast-moving selection built around the people standing in front of the machine.

Snacks

Chips, biscuits, energy bars, protein snacks and healthy alternatives.

Beverages

Water, juices, energy drinks, sports drinks and other beverages.

Fitness Nutrition

Protein products, pre-workout, post-workout and hydration products.

Product selection is customized according to each location.

Why NearU

More Than a Vending Machine.
A Managed Convenience Service.

Anyone can sell you a machine. The hard part is keeping it full, working and worth walking to — every single day.

One Managed Service

Installation, products, refilling, maintenance and support handled end to end by NearU. One partner, one point of contact, one agreement — and nothing on your team's plate.

24/7 Availability

Open in the hours when nothing else on site is.

Cashless Experience

Fast digital payments. No cash handling on your premises.

Location-Specific Products

Built for the people using each machine, not one planogram copied everywhere.

Regular Refilling

Replenished from our own warehouse and route vehicle on a planned cycle.

Technology Enabled

Sales data drives what gets loaded next, so availability improves monthly.

Partnership model

A Simple Partnership for Institutions

NearU works with institutions and fitness centers to create convenient automated retail points — without asking them to operate the vending business themselves.

Institution

Provides the location, access and a power point. Nothing more.

NearU

Owns and runs the machine end to end — stock, service, payments and support.

Customers

Students, members and employees buy what they need, whenever they need it.
