Glide pricing, explained.

Glides are unique in several ways. Two ways in particular, advanced sensors, and reusability, have unlocked a transformative pricing model that results in lower costs and higher profits for everyone involved. While at the same time, not increasing the price for end-customers. Pretty cool, right?

Now, with the traditional model for a product, you buy every unit at wholesale prices, and flip them for a profit.

This traditional approach requires a few things which constrain your operations.

  1. You must dip into your budget every time you need more units.

  2. You need management to oversee the purchasing strategy and account for the inventory.

  3. Buying units upfront starts you at a deficit so you must then flip every unit with sales before you can turn a profit.

The Glides model eliminates all this overhead found in the traditional model.

  1. You don’t buy every Glide unit, you pay a one-time setup fee upfront, then each unit is delivered and picked up for free, so your budget thrives.

  2. Since you’re not buying the units, Vital automatically delivers and picks up Glides to make sure you’re always stocked. This is possible because Glides are equipped with advanced sensors that monitors dispensing, so we’ll know exactly what your inventory is, in real-time. Resulting in no workload to manage or purchase Glide inventory. It’s turnkey and automated.

  3. You only pay Vital for drinks that sell. When a customer pushes the button and dispenses, the liquid amount that’s dispensed for the drink is detected by the Glide sensors. From there, your account is retroactively charged based on how much volume was dispensed. In other words, you only pay after you’ve earned.

    • For example, let’s suppose you charge $3.99 for a 12oz drink. The customer gives you $3.99 at the checkout line and Vital charges you $2.00 digitally, thus yielding you a net profit of $1.99 for the drink.
