Why we were born

Built for distributors, by distributors

I spent 30 years in self-service, automated retail and ATMs. When I went into my next industry, I knew it would run on AI. That industry turned out to be AI smart coolers.

We started VendAiMart as a master distributor for North America and put everything under one roof: operators, brands, and people brand new to vending.

Selling equipment comes with a mountain of back-office work. Leads, follow-ups, quotes, service tickets, serial numbers, warranty dates, manufacturer updates, all scattered across a dozen apps.

“Things that don’t make us money. They just cost us money.”Ron Christensen, founder

My last company took 25 employees to run, and I wasn’t doing that again. I wanted my people focused on customers and new sales, not the daily grind. So we built AI to run VendAiMart. Everything sits in one place, the AI prepares the work, and I approve it. That’s App Slayer.

Every company that sells equipment has the same problem. Now the technology exists to fix it.

What I designed it to do

Same people, pointed at growth

Picture every person on a payroll selling and serving customers instead of pushing paper. That is the company App Slayer is built to create.
