WEIMI Smart Two-in-One Pet Supplies Vending Machine for Shopping Malls

As a shopping mall operator, property manager, or commercial project manager, are you facing challenges such as:

More customers are bringing pets into shopping malls, but pet-related services remain limited. Traditional pet stores require high rental and labor costs, while their operating hours are restricted. Inventory across different floors and locations can be difficult to manage, with popular products frequently selling out while slower-moving items become overstocked or expire.

During weekends, public holidays, and evening peak hours, pet owners may suddenly need pet treats, drinking water, cleaning supplies, leashes, or interactive toys, but may not be able to purchase them conveniently inside the mall.

The WEIMI Smart  Two-in-One Pet Supplies Vending Machine for Shopping Malls integrates product display, automated sales, promotional management, inventory monitoring, and remote operations into one system. It provides shopping malls with a flexible, lightweight, and scalable pet retail solution.

The machine can be installed near mall entrances, parking areas, pet-friendly zones, supermarket exits, elevator halls, or leisure areas, providing pet owners with convenient access to essential supplies whenever they need them.

With this unmanned retail solution, shopping malls can:

• Enhance pet-friendly services and facilities
• Increase the commercial value of underused spaces
• Generate additional non-rental revenue
• Reduce labor costs for retail operations
• Provide customers with round-the-clock shopping services
• Build a scalable smart retail network that can be replicated across multiple locations

Two-in-One Smart Retail Design — One Control Cabinet for Two Vending Cabinets

One System Controls Two Vending Cabinets

The machine features a two-in-one structure consisting of one central control cabinet and two product cabinets.

Customers can use the central touchscreen to browse products, place orders, complete payment, and manage the entire purchasing process. The two side cabinets can sell different categories of products, including pet food, treats, toys, cleaning supplies, grooming products, and outdoor pet accessories.

Operators only need one backend system to manage the products, prices, inventory, promotions, and sales data of both cabinets, reducing the complexity of operating multiple machines separately.

Lower Equipment Costs and Better Space Utilization

Compared with installing two separate vending machines, each with its own control system, payment module, network connection, and management platform, the two-in-one design allows both product cabinets to share:

• One touchscreen
• One payment system
• One network module
• One control system
• One backend management platform

This reduces duplicate hardware configuration, helping lower equipment purchase, installation, maintenance, and operating costs.

The integrated structure also provides greater product capacity and a wider selection within a limited footprint. Whether installed at a mall entrance, pet-friendly area, parking access point, or elevator hall, one machine can deliver higher display efficiency and greater sales potential.

Smart Promotions and Product Bundling

Intelligent Related-Product Recommendations

Through the WEIMI backend management system, operators can set related-product recommendations for different items.

When customers select pet treats, grooming products, cleaning supplies, or toys, the touchscreen can automatically recommend complementary products, helping them complete their purchases more quickly.

For example:

• Recommend drinking water or a portable pet bowl when a customer purchases pet treats
• Recommend pet wipes or disinfectant when a customer purchases grooming products
• Recommend waste bags or a portable water bottle when a customer purchases a leash
• Recommend chew toys or training tools when a customer purchases training treats
• Recommend cat treats, cat toys, or cleaning products when a customer purchases cat food

The entire recommendation process is automated and requires no on-site sales staff.

This not only helps customers find suitable products more efficiently but also increases cross-selling opportunities and average transaction value, allowing limited commercial space to generate more revenue.

Flexible Multi-Buy Discount Strategies

The system supports promotional offers for complete orders, selected products, or specific product combinations.

Available promotional strategies can include:

• Discounts on orders above a specified amount
• Discounts on the second item
• Multi-item purchase discounts
• Special prices for selected product bundles
• Limited-time promotions
• Holiday pet product packages
• New product launch discounts
• Bundled promotions for slow-moving products

Shopping mall operators can adjust promotional strategies based on weekends, public holidays, membership campaigns, customer traffic, or pet-themed events.

These features help operators:

• Encourage customers to purchase more products per transaction
• Increase cross-sales of popular products
• Accelerate the turnover of slow-moving inventory
• Optimize the overall product mix
• Increase revenue generated per square meter
• Improve engagement during pet-related promotional events

Even without dedicated sales staff, the machine can continue implementing promotional strategies throughout the day.

Clear Product Information Display

The WEIMI smart pet supplies vending machine supports the display of product images, videos, prices, and detailed descriptions on the touchscreen, helping customers quickly understand each product before purchasing.

For pet food and treats, the screen can display:

• Flavor
• Net weight
• Suitable pet type
• Recommended pet age
• Main ingredients
• Feeding recommendations
• Shelf-life information

For pet accessories and supplies, the screen can display:

• Product dimensions
• Material information
• Instructions for use
• Suitable application scenarios
• Safety precautions
• Available colors and specifications

For customers with limited time, clear product information reduces hesitation, shortens the decision-making process, and improves purchasing efficiency.

It also helps to:

• Build customer confidence in the products
• Reduce incorrect purchases caused by insufficient information
• Increase completed transactions
• Encourage additional purchases
• Strengthen the professional image of the mall’s unmanned retail services

Smart Expiry and Inventory Management

Product Expiry Management

Pet treats, pet food, and certain grooming or healthcare products have specific shelf-life requirements.

The WEIMI backend system can record and manage product expiry dates. When a product approaches its specified expiry date, the system can alert operators, allowing them to take action in advance through discounts, price adjustments, stock replacement, or product removal.

Depending on the system configuration, expired products can also be automatically blocked from sale, preventing customers from purchasing items that no longer meet sales requirements.

This helps protect:

• Pet health and customer rights
• The mall’s service reputation
• Product sales compliance
• The reputation of brands and operators

It also reduces financial losses caused by expired or slow-moving inventory.

Real-Time Inventory Monitoring and Restocking Alerts

The system continuously monitors the inventory level of every product inside the machine.

When the quantity of a product falls below a predefined level, the backend system can send a low-stock alert, allowing operators to arrange replenishment in advance.

The operations team can quickly identify:

• Which pet treats are nearly sold out
• Which cleaning products need replenishment
• Which toys are selling quickly
• Which products have remained unsold for an extended period
• Which products need to be restocked in each machine

This helps prevent popular products from selling out during weekends, holidays, and peak shopping periods.

Operators no longer need to visit every machine frequently to check stock manually. Instead, they can create more efficient replenishment schedules and routes based on real-time backend data.

This helps achieve:

• Fewer manual inventory inspections
• Reduced unnecessary restocking trips
• More accurate replenishment
• Fewer out-of-stock situations
• Improved inventory turnover
• Lower daily operational pressure

Data-Driven Product Management

Make Decisions Based on Real Sales Data, Not Guesswork

The WEIMI backend system provides clear sales and inventory data, enabling shopping mall operators to understand the performance of different machines, products, locations, and sales periods.

The system can help operators analyze:

• Which pet treats are the most popular
• The sales proportion of cat products compared with dog products
• Which products sell more quickly on weekends
• Which products experience higher demand in the evening
• Which vending machine locations generate better sales
• Which products require price adjustments
• Which products are suitable for bundled promotions
• Which products should be replaced or removed

For example, a machine located near a parking access point may be better suited for waste bags, pet wipes, drinking water, and leash accessories.

A machine located in a pet-friendly leisure area may generate stronger demand for treats, toys, and interactive pet products.

By continuously reviewing actual sales data, shopping malls can adjust the product mix for each location instead of offering exactly the same products in every machine.

This enables operators to:

• Optimize the product selection for different locations
• Increase the proportion of high-demand products
• Reduce inefficient inventory
• Improve stock turnover
• Enhance the overall sales performance of each machine
• Maximize the revenue potential of limited commercial space

Remote Management System

Manage Multiple Floors, Areas, and Shopping Malls from One Platform

Daily operations no longer require staff to remain on-site for extended periods.

Through the WEIMI remote management platform, operators can centrally manage products, prices, advertisements, promotions, inventory, and machine operating status.

Shopping mall operators can remotely:

• Modify product names and prices
• Add or remove products
• Set multi-buy discounts
• Create bundled promotional campaigns
• Update touchscreen advertising content
• View real-time sales data
• Check real-time inventory levels
• Receive low-stock notifications
• Monitor machine operating conditions
• Manage employee accounts and access permissions

For operators managing multiple floors, commercial projects, or shopping mall locations, machines in different areas can all be controlled through one backend platform.

Even a small operations team can efficiently manage multiple vending machines, reducing repetitive work and the need for frequent on-site inspections.

This makes it easier to achieve:

• Standardized operations
• Multi-location management
• Rapid deployment and replication
• Unified product strategies
• Centralized promotional management
• Consistent advertising content
• Scalable business expansion
