Bonobo

The operating system for unattended commerce. We don’t touch the hardware: we make it sell, and we never take a % of your sales.

We don’t touch the hardware.
We make it sell.

uNobo Connect turns any machine with an MDB bus into connected commerce. Two of our own brands (Flappers and 1Self) already run on it across Spain. So can yours.

Turn any machine (any manufacturer) into a connected store. No building works, no hardware swap.

01 / The platform

One brain for every machine.

uNobo Connect sits on the MDB bus and turns a fleet of machines into one connected store, with the ecommerce tactics vending never had.

Payment processors live off charging per transaction. We live off making you sell more: combos and cross-selling across machines that lift the average ticket. Something a payment gateway simply doesn’t do. uNobo is gateway- and ERP-agnostic: plug in the ones you already use, and we never take a cut of your sales.

Market · why now

European vending is migrating away from cash. The structural shift is already measurable.

Cash vending in the euro area fell from 74% to 55% in recent years, a 19pp drop. Meanwhile, 70% of European vending still operates inside closed 18-hour workplaces.

02 / Functions

Ecommerce tactics, on the machine.

Standard online for fifteen years, new to unattended retail. Cross-vendor commerce, not cross-selling inside a single machine: one basket across machines from different manufacturers in the same location.

Combos & cross-selling

A snack here, a cold drink there. One basket, one payment.

Suggested selling

The machine upsells like an online store.

Age & biometric verification

Compliant sales with built-in checks.

One gateway, gateway-agnostic

A single payment gateway across the fleet.

  • Wallet & loyalty points · A customer wallet and points that bring shoppers back.
  • Virtual keypad · No physical buttons that jam, a clean touch UI.
  • Live telemetry · Stock, uptime and sales per machine, in real time.
  • SofIA: operator AI · Conversational support that advises the operator and escalates to remote SAT. The deeper our access to the machine, the more we can resolve remotely.

Your customers already know the interface. Self-order screens are everywhere now. The friction left to remove is the operator’s, and that’s what SofIA is for.

Pricing without surprises

From €15 per machine / month. Zero commission on sales.

Flat licence, no percentage per transaction, no lock-in. Payment-gateway agnostic. The OS doesn't touch your till.

03 / Brands on uNobo

Two brands. One proven model.

You don’t buy machines, you license a finished business with a team behind it. Both brands already trade in Spain on data from 75 connected stores and 193 machines with real transactions, so the operator who runs the store and the partner who sells it both win.
