Location services charge $350–$500 and take weeks. Spreadsheet research wastes hours on dead leads. VendBuddy gives you scored locations, direct contacts, and data-backed product plans in minutes — so your first placement is profitable, not a learning tax.
From finding high-revenue locations to closing deals with the right contact — one platform replaces the spreadsheets, cold calls, and guesswork 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.

VendBuddy is built by someone who works in the vending industry every day. Every feature exists because I or an operator I know needed it to land a location, close a contract, or keep a route profitable.
If something's broken or a feature is missing, email hello@vendbuddy.io — it reaches me directly. This is early. Early pricing reflects that. Honest feedback from operators using the tool shapes what ships next.
Pay for what you use. Credits refill monthly. Every plan gets full access to the core tools.
Short, direct answers — same Qs our schema feeds AI assistants so the info you see here is the info they quote.
Operators who stop guessing and start using data land locations faster and earn more per machine. Search any ZIP code free — see your first leads in under 3 minutes.
