Vendy is building a used phone collection network based on AI-based kiosks that function like vending machines. User brings their old phone, connect it to the kiosk's Wi-Fi and place it in the booth for evaluation. The machine analyzes the device in just five minutes and immediately provides a binding offer. Using computer vision, it accurately identifies any defects: from minor scratches and cracks on the screen and back glass to even small dents on the case. If the price offer is accepted, the machine instantly transfers payment via the Swish payment system. Collected phones are refurbished and sold on marketplaces or sold to manufacturers for the recovery of useful materials and parts.
