N-and Group

What N-and Group does

N-and Group Ltd is a privately held UK-headquartered technology group founded in 2015 that designs, develops, and manufactures touchscreen human-machine interfaces (HMI), embedded CPU boards, payment systems, and cloud software for the vending and automated retail industry, with secondary applications in retail, industrial, digital signage, and facility management. Its product portfolio spans hardware — N-touch HMI devices built on ITO projective-capacitive touch panels with Gorilla/Safety Glass, optical bonding, and Intel-based N-ViPi CPU boards available as standard or customized in under 130 days — and software/services, including the FleXUi user interface platform, the VendAware cloud business-intelligence and fleet-management platform, N-Pay 5 and NTC-pay payment systems, and the coffee cApp monetization application. Operations are run through wholly-owned subsidiaries N-and Italia Srl (production in Pognano, Bergamo), N-and Embedded S.r.l. (R&D in Oltrona di San Mamette, plus a new embedded innovation site in Ivrea opened December 2025), and N-and Technologies Limited in Hong Kong, with headquarters at Bristol and Bath Science Park in the UK.

The company monetizes through multiple streams: hardware unit sales (e.g., NT15 refurbishment kits priced at €559.99 with advanced payment or €589.99 on Net 60 terms), recurring subscription revenue from VendAware and FleXUi, transaction-based fees from payment systems, and professional services around technology scouting, design development, and chip-to-cloud integration. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise sales handled through regional offices in the UK, Italy, and Hong Kong, an authorized reseller network with a 10-unit minimum on promotional SKUs, and active event participation across EVEX 2024, HOST 2025, and vending industry media. N-and Group invests more than 11% of turnover in R&D, reported 23% year-over-year growth between 2022 and 2023, and holds PCI-DSS v4.0.1 Level 1 and ISO 9001 certifications, with ISO 27001 in progress; recent strategic moves include Nayax and Teltonika partnerships in 2025 and a new Ivrea R&D center.
