Problem

The startup needed strong B2C support to popularize the service as quickly as possible through discounts, which made direct interaction with the consumer critical. But there was nothing to interact with.

No interface or branding of any kind existed at the time
No user flow or structure was defined, leaving the entire journey unclear
No differentiation from any other vending machine manufacturer on the market
No way to build buzz in the info space, especially among tech‑savvy early adopters, gadget lovers, and the geek crowd
