Touch Media 4 (TM4)
More than a vending machine — an interactive unattended retail and media platform.
The machine
About this machine
The TM4 is the smart vending machine in our range: it replaces the usual glass front with a full-screen interactive display. Customers browse and select on the screen; when the machine is idle, that same screen is advertising space — which makes the TM4 the only machine in our range that can earn money when nobody is buying.
It carries cloud telemetry and accepts card, tap, QR and crypto. Africa’s first crypto-payments-enabled vending machine was a TM4, built with MoneyBadger in Stellenbosch.
It suits premium spaces, workplaces that care how the machine looks, and brand activations where the screen is part of the campaign. If you have been comparing smart vending machines, this is the one to see running.

Browsing, choosing and collecting
The whole front is the interface — and when the machine is idle, that same screen is advertising space.
- 1
Browse
Scroll the full range on screen, with the price on every item.
- 2
Choose
Tap to select. The screen confirms the product and the price before anything is charged.
- 3
Pay
Card, tap, phone, QR or crypto. No cash in the machine means no float to manage and no coins to collect.
- 4
Collect
The product drops to the flap. The screen goes back to advertising until the next customer.
Filmed on a Touch Media 4 running in a workplace, start to finish, with no cuts.
