Swoop supplies vending machines and smart lockers to sports facilities that want to add convenience for their players and passive income for their business.
The technology is seamless, the setup is handled by us, and once it’s live, it just works.
Here’s exactly what to expect, from first conversation to long-term running.
For Venue Owners and Managers
1. Reach out
Get in touch and we’ll have an initial conversation about your venue, your goals, and what kind of machine makes sense.
2. Choose your setup
We’ll help you decide on the vending machine type, the products you want to stock, and the pricing model (revenue share, fixed rental, or outright purchase).
3. Design and configure
We design your machine’s custom vinyl wrap and configure the backend with your product range, pricing, and payment setup before anything is delivered.
4. Pick your date
Installation can happen as soon as the same week or scheduled months ahead. We work around you.
5. We install
Our team arrives, positions the machine, and gets it live, usually in under an hour. No downtime, no court closures.
6. You’re live
We walk your team through the app, set up your first stock, and make sure everything is running smoothly from minute one. Ongoing support continues from there.
We’ll help you work out which model makes the most sense for your situation.
For Players Using the Machine
Buying (ball vending, accessories, Drinks) 🎾🥤
Browse → Select → Pay by card or contactless → Collect.
Done in seconds.
Renting (rackets, equipment) 🏋️ 🏓
Select item → Enter your mobile number and password → Pay → Collect your equipment → Return it by entering the code sent to your phone.
If equipment isn’t returned, a deposit can be triggered automatically. Card details and contact information are captured at the point of rental so the process is secure for the venue and transparent for the player.
Day-to-Day Running
Once your machine is live, managing it is straightforward:
- App-based control. Monitor stock levels, sales, revenue, and energy usage all from your phone
- Set your own alerts. Get notified when stock drops below a threshold so you’re never caught out
- You restock. It’s quick and easy, and you can keep backup stock inside the machine itself
- Full reporting. The dashboard shows you everything from units sold to net revenue to real-time stock counts
There’s no ongoing involvement from Swoop required to keep the machine earning — but we’re always there if you need us.
Sounds Easy?
… It is.
