Strategic collaboration combines Dongpeng Beverage’s global brand reach with QINGO’s high-quality smart vending hardware and customizable digital retail platform
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — September 8, 2026 — QINGO Smart Retail, a provider of integrated smart vending solutions, has entered into a global strategic partnership with EASTROC Dongpeng Beverage, one of China’s leading functional beverage brands. The partnership brings together Dongpeng Beverage’s growing international presence and QINGO’s smart vending hardware and digital retail technology to explore new opportunities for automated retail across global markets.
The two companies will make a joint appearance at ASEAN SHOP 2026, held from September 10 to 12, 2026, at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (MITEC) in Kuala Lumpur. Visitors can meet the QINGO team together with EASTROC Dongpeng Beverage Malaysia at Booth R13.
The collaboration reflects a growing demand from global brands for flexible, technology-enabled retail channels that can extend product availability beyond traditional stores.
Why Dongpeng Beverage Chose QINGO
For a beverage brand expanding into new markets, smart vending is not simply an equipment purchase. Successful deployment requires reliable hardware, a stable digital infrastructure, flexible configuration, and the ability to adapt the solution to different products, locations, and operating models.
QINGO’s integrated approach addresses these requirements through two core capabilities: high-quality commercial hardware and a customizable software platform.
- High-Quality Hardware for Reliable Commercial Operation
QINGO’s smart vending machines are developed with a focus on hardware quality, operational reliability, and long-term commercial use.
The product portfolio is designed to support different retail scenarios and product requirements, with solutions covering compact deployments as well as larger-capacity applications. Integrated functions such as intelligent dispensing, payment connectivity, remote machine management, and operational monitoring provide the infrastructure required for modern unattended retail.
For a global beverage company such as Dongpeng Beverage, reliable hardware is essential to maintaining consistent product presentation and customer experience across different markets.
QINGO’s standardized hardware platform also provides a foundation for scalable deployment, while its diverse machine configurations allow partners to select solutions according to specific locations and business requirements.
- Customizable Software for Different Business Models
Hardware alone cannot deliver a complete smart vending operation.
QINGO’s software platform provides centralized capabilities for machine management, product and inventory management, transaction monitoring, pricing, promotions, and operational data.
More importantly, the platform is designed to support customization.
Different brands and distributors may have different operational processes, product strategies, customer journeys, and market requirements. QINGO works with partners to customize and configure software functions accordingly, helping integrate vending operations into broader retail and distribution strategies.
This flexibility was an important factor in Dongpeng Beverage’s decision to collaborate with QINGO.
Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all vending solution, the partnership enables the two companies to explore smart retail applications that can be adapted to different markets and business scenarios.
From Smart Vending Machines to a Scalable Retail Channel
The partnership between QINGO and Dongpeng Beverage goes beyond vending machine deployment.
By combining commercial-grade smart vending hardware with a flexible digital platform, QINGO provides the technology infrastructure required to transform vending machines into connected retail terminals.
For beverage and FMCG brands, this can create additional points of sale in locations where traditional retail infrastructure may be limited or less flexible.
For distributors, smart vending can become a new channel for expanding product distribution and serving a wider range of retail environments.
For entrepreneurs, the combination of hardware, software, and operational capabilities provides a foundation for building and scaling independent vending businesses.
This makes smart vending increasingly relevant not only as an automated sales format, but also as a digital and scalable retail business model.
