Learn how to run a successful ice and water vending business  

At Penguin University, you’ll learn everything you need to know to run a successful ice and water vending business. We want you to have all the tools and knowledge you’ll need to succeed, so we build a library of resources to help. Once you become an ice and water vending machine owner, you’ll have access to in-depth videos and instructions showing you how to conduct maintenance, use SmartIce remote monitoring system to its fullest potential, and get the most out of your machine.  

While other ice and water vending machine manufacturers spend big bucks marketing and advertising to get new buyers, we reinvest in our owners to help them succeed. We built Penguin University to do just that!

Conduct maintenance on any machine  

Our ice and water vending machines are built to last and to keep working, even during the busiest times. However, to keep your machine in good working order, they need a little regular maintenance. This includes things like emptying the cash receptacle, changing filters, checking components, and making sure the outside of the machine is clean and appealing to customers. We have videos and instructions on all of these items, so you can learn at your own pace and review at any time.

Use SmartIce and grow your business 

We know many of our owners want to run their business remotely. That’s why we made SmartIce. SmartIce not only lets you monitor and manage your machine(s) remotely, but also gives you in-depth information about your sales, activity, and trends. Penguin University gives you access to a variety of videos that will show you how SmartIce works and how you can use this software to manage and grow your business with ease.
