Run a premium unattended retail business — without the operational headache.
Every NextGen owner gets retail-grade hardware, our operating software, the branded owner portal, one-tap consumables reorder, an Australian-based help desk, and 90 days of active launch support. You focus on placement and revenue — we run the platform behind it.
Modern automated retail — built for margin.
A high-margin consumable, a crowd-magnet experience, and 24/7 automation. That's the NextGen owner thesis.
High-margin consumable
Each item retails A$35–A$55 with a gross margin around 60–70%. Blank stock and ink ship to you in bulk — no per-transaction licensing.
Automated 24/7
No employees at the machine. Revenue runs nights, weekends, and holidays without a single shift change.
Scalable rollout
Start with one machine, grow into a multi-unit regional operator. Fleet software, reporting, and priority support scale with you.
Built for operators who move fast.
First-time operators
Turnkey package, hands-on launch training, warm venue intros, and 90 days of post-launch support. No prior retail or vending experience required.
Vending & machine veterans
Plug NextGen into an existing route. Our platform automates what manual vending can't — custom product, digital checkout, remote inventory.
Investors & multi-unit groups
Regional territory discussions welcome. Dedicated account manager, fleet dashboard, priority hardware allocation, cohort ops reporting.

Real words from the people running NextGen machines across Australia.
“We signed the install paperwork on a Tuesday and had a live revenue-generating machine on our concourse by the following Monday. The NextGen team handled everything. Zero drama.”
“I came in as a first-time operator. What I got was a turnkey business, not just a machine. The placement support alone was worth the purchase.”
“The live-printing moment is the best free advertising we have. People stop, watch, and line up — even when they don't buy. It genuinely lifts nearby retail dwell time.”
NextGen vs generic imported machines.
Most phone case machines on the market are white-labelled Asian imports with forced foreign branding and WeChat-based support. That's not us.

One mascot. One platform. Zero operational drama.
Every NextGen machine greets customers with the same smiling face — a reason to stop, design, and print. Every owner logs into the same operating platform for stock, support, and live revenue. It's a unified retail brand you plug into, not a machine you babysit.
