Since 1984, Advanced Vending Consultants (AVC) has been helping businesses improve their employee breakroom experience with customized vending solutions. AVC is the Houston-area Authorized Distributor and servicing entity for Federal Machine, a division of The Wittern Group—the world's oldest and largest manufacturer of vending equipment. Founded in 1931 by inventive genius F. A. Wittern who invented and patented many machines. Wittern has been proudly manufacturing vending equipment in the USA for generations and remains an industry leader in innovation, quality, and reliability.

Over Four Decades of Industry Experience

Sherry Pierre, President of Advanced Vending Consultants, brings more than 42 years of hands-on vending experience to every client relationship. Throughout her career, she has owned and operated vending routes and distributorships in Tulsa, Dallas, Houston, Arkansas, St Louis and Florida, while pioneering numerous successful vending programs during her long association with The Wittern Group. Her extensive experience allows AVC to understand the unique needs of every location—from small offices to large industrial facilities—and recommend equipment and programs that truly fit each customer's environment and workforce.

A Different Approach to Service

What makes AVC different is our business model. Rather than employing hourly route drivers, we partner with independent servicing professionals who have a vested interest in the success of every location they serve. This ownership mindset results in greater accountability, better customer service, cleaner equipment, and faster response times. Our servicing partners take pride in their locations because your satisfaction is directly tied to their success.

We Work for You

At AVC, we don't simply install vending machines—we act as your consultant and advocate. We evaluate your facility, employee demographics, available space, and traffic patterns to recommend the right equipment and product mix. We work closely with management to establish pricing, determine product selections, and ensure your employees receive the refreshments they actually want. Our goal is simple: create a vending program that operates smoothly so you never have to worry about it.

Our Commitment

Every location is different, and every customer deserves a vending program designed specifically for their needs. Whether you're upgrading outdated equipment, replacing an underperforming vendor, or planning a completely new employee breakroom, Advanced Vending Consultants has the knowledge, experience, and resources to deliver a program that exceeds expectations. Let us provide a complimentary, no-obligation assessment of your location. We'll evaluate your current vending program, discuss your goals, and recommend solutions designed to improve service, employee satisfaction, and overall value.
