ABOUT HEALTHVEND: THE MAKING OF A HEALTHY VENDING DISTRIBUTOR
Wholesale Healthy Vending Distribution Made Affordable
In mid-2012, the people behind Norman Distribution, a full service distribution and brand development company, began tossing around the idea of creating a vending division. The Chicagoland distributor not only knew the stale state of the vending industry, but were confident they could step up to the challenges it presented – the first and biggest challenge was meeting consumer demand for healthy snacks and beverages that are both affordable and taste great. HealthVend overcame this challenge with Norman Distribution’s powerhouse of healthy snack and beverage brands eager to make their way to the masses. With this challenge overcome, HealthVend was created, specializing in the distribution of healthy snacks and beverages to the vending industry.
Aggressive Pricing and Flate-Rate Shipping
HealthVend drew on Norman Distribution’s knowledge to build a fulfillment system that not only would meet the needs of large vending operators but the needs of the entrepreneur starting up their new healthy vending and/or micro market business.
HealthVend utilizes mixed-product pallets, flat rate shipping, and flexible delivery schedules – for whatever, wherever, and whenever fulfillment meets the needs of any operator. Further, HealthVend offers consulting services to all of its vendors – ensuring that they understand what products will work best in their market and will provide them with aggressive margins. HealthVend also leverages Norman’s brand development knowledge – acting as a brand incubator, partnering with both emerging brands and existing brands – a partnership that includes both consulting and facilitating exposure for products to marketplaces nationwide.
An Industry Leader
HealthVend has positioned itself as a leader in the healthy vending industry. In addition to working with vending machines and micro market operators, HealthVend also works within school districts, large businesses, and government organizations to assist in their initiative for healthier snacks and beverages and corporate wellness programs.
