SOS is making broken, out-of-stock tampon machines a thing of the past with interactive vending machines that share personal care and beauty products from popular beauty brands. As SOS co-founder Robina Verbeek describes, "Our machines transform a moment of panic into a moment of empowerment and choice."
The IoT-enabled machine is stocked with individually packaged products that people can access via a touchscreen for a cardless and contactless purchase experience.
After getting its footing in Boston, 35 SOS machines are making their way to the Florida Panthers' FLA Live Arena in Sunrise and five more machines will be arriving at the Panthers IceDen in Coral Springs. In the future, SOS will also be expanding to other states.
