CERRITOS, CA -- Oasis Vehicle Refreshments, said it has received the first patent on its intelligent vending system technology for taxis, rental cars and autonomous vehicles. The smart, connected "mobile storefronts" will reportedly allow the company to provide on-demand chilled beverages and snacks to passengers while en route.
 
Compact enough to fit within sedan, SUV and hatchback vehicle models, the modular refrigerated vending machine can serve taxi and car rental fleets as well as buses, trains and smart cars, according to the company. Passengers order and retrieve their beverages and snacks using the digital interactive screen with built-in credit/debit card and digital payment processing. Inventory cartridges are provided to optimize efficiency for fleet operation.
 
"After successfully piloting our vending system within taxi fleets, we have learned a lot and recognize that Oasis will be an excellent fit across vehicle markets including rental car fleets," said Daniel Dao, founder and chief executive of Oasis Vehicle Refreshments. "We are actively interviewing the right partner to leverage our systems and greatly improve the customer experience of the ride within the rental car industry."
 
The system features cloud-based management, inventory tracking, digital ads, promotions and product information as well as integrated cellular technologies to assure that the machines can be monitored and maintained efficiently and can deliver analytics on product buying habits.
 
Cerritos, CA-based Oasis Vehicle Refreshments has embedded technology within the vending system that provides an automatic alert if a system has an operational problem and will collect data on consumer buying habits and the popularity of the beverage brand and snack combinations requested at certain times of day or in specific geographic locations.
 
"We offer the pipeline to reach the traveler-on-the-go. We streamline beverage and snack sales for travelers with a simple, select-and-buy process and provide the data for food and drink brands to customize their offerings," Dao concluded. "Fleet operators benefit from shared revenue; it is a win-win-win for everyone."
