Digital signage for vending machines
Vending machines don't have to be silent boxes. Add a screen and you get a promotion channel, a digital menu, and a way to highlight what's inside — all managed remotely, without a technician visiting the machine.

What is vending machine digital signage?
A screen attached to, mounted beside, or built into a vending machine, showing scheduled content instead of static stickers or printed menus — product promotions, seasonal offers, nutrition and pricing info, cross-sell messages — updated from a browser instead of reprinting posters. Two setups: a screen attached near the machine (most common, via a small streaming device) or a screen built into the machine's front panel (many newer smart vending units ship with an embedded Android or Windows display). Fugo does not control the vending machine's payment, inventory, or dispensing logic — it manages what plays on the screen.
Why add a screen to your vending machines
A small screen turns a passive machine into a promotion channel you control remotely.
Sell more per machine
Promote combo deals, new products, or overstocked items, and change it whenever you like.
Cut printing and site visits
Update every machine from one screen.
React to time of day
Push coffee and breakfast items in the morning, snacks in the afternoon, with day-parted scheduling.
Know when a screen goes dark
Remote uptime monitoring flags a machine's screen if it drops offline.
Scale across sites without extra staff
Manage machines in one break room or hundreds across a portfolio, from the same dashboard.
How Fugo runs on a vending machine screen
Connect a player to the machine's screen, then manage what plays from one dashboard.
Works with the hardware you already have
Hardware-agnostic — Amazon Fire TV/Signage Stick, Google TV Streamer, NVIDIA Shield, Android, Samsung Tizen, LG webOS, Windows or ChromeOS. If the screen has HDMI-in or an Android board, Fugo can very likely run on it.
Build the content in Design Studio
Templates for promo slides, menu boards and offer callouts.
Schedule and day-part automatically
Breakfast, lunch and evening offers rotate automatically.
Manage every machine from one place
Push a promotion to one machine or the whole fleet; check status on a dashboard.
Catch problems before customers do
Uptime monitoring and remote recovery flag and, where possible, fix a frozen or offline screen.
Pull in real content, not just static images
Canto DAM integration lets you pull approved creative straight into a playlist.
Schedule and day-part automatically
Push coffee and breakfast items in the morning, snacks in the afternoon. Breakfast, lunch and evening offers rotate automatically, so nobody has to remember to change the machine.
Manage every machine from one place
Push a promotion to one machine or the whole fleet, and check status on a dashboard. Manage machines in one break room or hundreds across a portfolio, from the same place.
Catch problems before customers do
Remote uptime monitoring flags a machine's screen if it drops offline, and remote recovery attempts to bring a frozen or offline screen back without a technician visit.
Common ways businesses use this
Snack and drink combo promos in break rooms; seasonal offers on campus or retail vending; nutrition and allergen info alongside listings; cross-promoting a nearby cafe, gym or retail offer; and turning unused vending-area wall space into a small slot for sponsors or internal announcements.
