Autofeed cooler beverage shelves achieve profitability through a three-pronged approach of "increasing revenue + reducing costs + improving efficiency." The core strategy is to improve product turnover and sales volume, reduce labor and energy costs, and simultaneously optimize the consumer experience and brand value. This results in a short investment payback period and high long-term returns. The specific profit logic and implementation methods are as follows:

Core Profitability Path (Taking Supermarkets/Convenience Stores as Examples)

Direct Revenue Increase: Boosting Sales and Average Transaction Value

Automatic product placement ensures a full and organized display, increasing product exposure and impulse purchases. Sales of some product categories can increase by 15%-30%.

First-In-First-Out (FIFO) reduces near-expiry losses (especially for beverages and dairy products), potentially lowering spoilage rates by over 50%, directly translating into profit.

Neat product displays optimize the shopping experience, increasing repeat purchases and cross-selling, resulting in an average increase in average transaction value of 2%-5%.

Significant Cost Reduction: Double Savings in Labor and Energy

Reducing the frequency of stocking can save a single store 10-20 hours of labor per month. At 3000 RMB/person/month, this translates to monthly labor cost savings of approximately 1500-3000 RMB.

Reduce the number of times and duration the freezer doors are opened, resulting in monthly electricity savings of approximately 100-200 kWh, saving approximately 80-160 RMB in electricity costs (at 0.8 RMB/kWh).

Low Investment Costs: A complete 3-door freezer system costs approximately 1200-1800 RMB, with a payback period of about 5 months and a return on investment exceeding 1000% within a 5-year term.

Brand Enhancement: Enhancing Channel Competitiveness

LED-lit display slides strengthen brand visibility, helping brands and channels reach agreements on premium display rates or exclusive shelf space, increasing revenue.

Neat and well-organized displays improve store image, attracting more customers and brands, resulting in increased rent or commission income.

Key Success Factors

Product Selection: Prioritize high-turnover, perishable products such as beverages, dairy products, and snacks for maximum impact.

Maintenance and Management: Regularly clean the slides and check the ball bearings to prevent jamming that could negatively affect customer experience and sales.

Data-Driven Approach: Track sales and wastage changes in the slide area through a POS system to optimize display and replenishment strategies.
