A new company founded by recent Boston University school of business students wants to offer manufacturers a chance to rent vending machine space as a way to launch new products. Ohner, aimed specifically at the smaller manufacturers who have trouble getting retail space, will connect the vending operators and product manufacturers online. Vending operators offer spirals for sale, with descriptions of the machine location and user demographics. There is a rental fee paid to the operators in exchange for stocking the product and sending back specific sales information regarding how the selection performed.
According to one of the founders, there are no current trials, but Ohner hopes to launch a beta test in next month, October 2017.
