h.u.m.a.n Healthy Vending. In 2003 the company was founded as the first 100% healthy vending company by a biomedical engineer that earned his degree from The Johns Hopkins University and Columbia University. h.u.m.a.n. has never been anything else BUT a pure-play healthy vending company dedicated to giving people convenient access to healthy products and nutritional information. The company gives 10% of proceeds to charities that fight obesity and malnutrition and is backed by a team of health professionals, vending experts, registered dieticians, doctors, and performance specialists.

h.u.m.a.n. utilizes over 20 warehouse across the United States to deliver its premium product offerings quickly and efficiently. We're able to do this by partnering with the country's finest nutritional distributors rather than trying to distribute everything ourselves. We make no money on the distribution of our foods, ensuring that consumers enjoy the lowest product prices at our machines. The company's product experts work with you to determine the absolute best product mix for the people at your organization. We have the largest selection of healthy foods and drinks in the vending industry and are able to customize planograms to meet virtually any dietary requirements - SB-19, 100% organic, all-natural, allergen-free sports-performance based, etc. Whatever you need, we can make it happen.

We've been around the block, have made many mistakes, and continually revise our program and business model to ensure optimal operations and continual growth for our business partners and ourselves. h.u.m.a.n. is dynamic, perpetually improving, and overly ambitious. We have huge goals to make a significant impact on our world and show this through our dedication to improving the health of our customers.

Each and every one of our machines is 100% healthy. Anything else would defeat the purpose of our mission. 100% healthy machines allow customers to change their dietary habits, eventually increasing their performance and levels of happiness. 100% healthy vending machines also provide our vending operators with the highest profits by preventing-cannibalization and maximizing the sales margins on the highest quality foods.

h.u.m.a.n. healthy vending machines are the most advanced snack, food, and drink vending machines on the market. Each one contains a credit card reader to maximize customer purchasing power, digital LCD screens to display streaming nutritional videos and information, and remote-monitoring technologies to ensure the most efficient operations. Our power devices abide by eco-friendly standards and we're always seeking ways to decrease our carbon footprint. This includes having one of Los Angeles' only 100% eco-friendly offices.

We've created a vending program that maximizes profits for both our locations and vending operators by focusing on the creation of additional revenue streams, the optimization of product margins, and cost-savings across the board.

We are h.u.m.a.n. And we want you to become h.u.m.a.n. too.

Traditional Vending Machine Programs.About 85% of traditional vending programs' product offerings are considered to be unhealthy junk food. These foods wreak havoc on the health of consumers who unfortunately choose to eat them. These health problems have become such a problem in America that schools, governments and other well-intentioned institutions across the country are BANNING traditional vending machines from their locations altogether.

Beyond the products, traditional vending machines themselves are usually quite lackluster, often being described as brown, inanimate, and unappealing. In cases where traditional vending machines are not solid black or brown, they're usually covered with bright graphics advertising a nationally-recognized unhealthy brand of snack, candy, or soda. In fact,some of the most popular consumer product companies in America, primarily those that make soda, make little money in the vending business (compared to the rest of their profit channels), but place a great deal of focus on vending because it's such a great advertising and branding channel for them. They want to advertise their brand to as many people as possible, especially kids in schools so they can "hook" them as customers at an early age! That's worth a lot of money to them.

Traditional vending machines typically only allow for cash & coin payments, not credit, debit or pre-paid cards. Additionally, these machines do not educate the consumers with digital LCD screens or provide a more enjoyably consumer experience via touch-screen control panels.

Other "Healthy" Vending Programs. Copycat companies out there will act like they care about the health of people when in actuality they've been in the junk food vending business for years and years before they saw a new dollar sign and decided to "get healthy". These are not the people I would trust to provide your location with the finest, healthiest and best-tasting nutritional foods & drinks. Many of these people have no health or nutritional expertise and couldn't tell you the meaning of the glycemic index, the physiological risks of consuming trans-fats, or the difference between organic, natural or gluten-free products. Remember to not always trust a self-proclaimed "expert" before ensuring that they actually are an expert by your specific definition!

Other companies say they're "healthy" because a portion of their machine is dedicated to "healthy" items, and many times, these "healthy" items are not even very healthy. They're simply not as bad as the other junk food items in the machine. At h.u.m.a.n. we believe that a machine is either healthy or its not - there is no in between, it's a black & white issue. When you have healthy and unhealthy items in a vending machine, you are begging for failure.

No other companies on the market have digital LCD screens that display streaming videos, health information, and nutritional guidance. Few, if any, have touch-screen control boards that make the vending experience easier, more fun, & mistake-free. None of them have credit card readers in every single one of their machines & few have remote monitoring technology built-in to ensure optimal vending service at every single location. Whether you look at the product offerings, the machines, the program, or the company itself, other "healthy" companies just can't compare with the original healthy vending company, h.u.m.a.n.

The question you need to ask is would you rather have a new car with a 10 year warranty, beautiful exterior, and fine-tuned engine from an established & well respected manufacturer or a second-hand vehicle from the used car lot down the street? As the founders of the pure-play healthy vending industry, we have had a few companies try to copy our business model over the years. Yet although these companies have tried to "become h.u.m.a.n." by imitating our ways, they come nowhere close to matching our service, product offerings, machine technology, or overall company performance.

We always welcome comparisons to other companies out there because we know that after proper analysis, we'll win-out 99% of the time. And we appreciate them being out there - it keeps us on our toes and makes sure we're always giving our customers the absolute best. Furthermore, there are millions of locations that need healthy vending! We can't service them all. We simply focus on servicing the best ones. We need all the help we can get when it comes to making healthy food and drinks more accessible to people across the globe, so the more people who join the cause, the better.
