Digital Vending Machine

Every stage of bundling from start to finish.

Powered by automation and best-in-class defaults, the Digital Vending Machine® from Bango (DVM^TM) orchestrates every stage of bundling from start to finish.

Extending across the entire subscription lifecycle, the DVM helps partners accelerate customer acquisition, enhance retention, and drive sustainable revenue growth.

By investing in solutions that lower barriers to entry, Bango empowers businesses of all sizes to seamlessly bundle, launch, and scale their subscription offerings. The DVM is a comprehensive solution that supports subscriptions ecosystem partners, both resellers and content providers, through every stage of their lifecycle in super bundling.

A complete solution for subscription bundling

Unlike traditional systems that focus only on onboarding, contracting, or billing, the Bango DVM delivers a connected platform for time-to-market acceleration, bundling automation, and data-driven monetization.

Its modular capabilities include the Migration Engine, DVM Sandbox, Partner Discovery, Dynamic Offer Management, Consumer Experience (CX) Digital Hub, Pre-paid Solutions, and Advanced Data Models.

Migration Engine

Resellers – Telcos and others – who started through a DIY approach to bundling, are limited in their ability to scale beyond basic bundles. Consumer demand has given rise to increasingly more sophisticated bundled offers becoming both commonplace and expected. As a result, resellers are migrating their existing in-house connections to the Bango DVM, motivated by clear consumer preference for consolidating subscriptions on a single app or platform (see Subscriptions Assemble, Bango, 2025).

This goes beyond just transferring entitlements to the DVM. To ensure no loss of access, Bango technology enables the seamless migration of subscriptions and associated plans, ensuring relationships between users, subscriptions and plans are not incomplete or broken. With behind-the-scenes automation, all linked data structures, e.g. user history and eligibility, is preserved, preventing data discrepancies or loss – especially for large volumes of data – without requiring extensive manual adjustments.

DVM Sandbox

The DVM Sandbox accelerates onboarding by enabling end-to-end validation of the DVM at any point, independent of partner contracts and connections. With access to a broader suite of full production APIs, detailed documentation, and powerful emulators for both resellers and content providers, it supports comprehensive testing of connections, workflows, and complex offers. The DVM Sandbox supports everything from activation and upgrades to styling and design of the user interface (CX) including single sign-on SSO.

Partner Discovery

Partner Discovery is a self-service portal used by subscription resellers – e.g. Telcos and banks – to explore a wide range of content providers available through the DVM™ ecosystem, filtering by region and category.

Designed to revolutionize how resellers connect with content providers, the Partner Discovery portal eliminates the time-consuming process of finding content providers and negotiating individual terms for bundling and reselling. The Partner Discovery portal accelerates time to market by offering pre-agreed rates, bundling terms and conditions, and geographic availability. Partner Discovery is the ultimate bundling store for the subscription economy.

Dynamic Offer Management

Dynamic Offer Management solves the problems of setting up sophisticated multi-party offers. Alternative approaches involve multiple CRM systems which are cumbersome to navigate and require a lot of manual intervention. Dynamic Offer Management eliminates complexity in setup, automating a number of the processes required to create, configure, test, and approve offers, accelerating time to market and reducing operational overhead.

The moment a subscriber accepts a subscription offer, Bango orchestrates a workflow:

Verifying eligibility
Updating entitlement status
Linking the offer to the correct user
Initiating billing cycles
Sending notifications to both reseller and content provider

Even after activation, Bango ensures ongoing synchronization in billing to ensure renewals, activations and handling of price phase changes happen seamlessly. Managing this complex process in the DVM (rather than the resellers back office) reduces time to market while increasing the stickiness of the DVM.

DVM Consumer Experience (CX) Digital Hub

Building a digital subscription hub from scratch is a complex and resource-intensive endeavor, requiring significant time, expertise and financial investment. Development could take months or even years.

DVM™ CX is the solution designed to help Bango partners accelerate the launch of a consumer portal for their subscriptions bundling hub. As a configurable, white-label subscription hub, resellers can brand the DVM™ CX as their own, providing consumers with a seamless way to manage and pay for their subscriptions in one place – while unlocking valuable behavioral insights to optimize marketing strategies.

With DVM CX, partners can:

Analyze the performance of subscriptions, bundles and offers, tracking trends in activations and cancellations over time (rather than the resellers back office) reduces time to market while increasing the stickiness of the DVM.

Quickly launch a branded subscription hub with pre-built templates for desktop and mobile

Offer sophisticated bundles by connecting with hundreds of subscription partners including leading streaming services like Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime and YouTube Premium

Purpose-built solutions for pre-paid markets

Recognizing the growing demand for subscription bundling in Telco pre-paid markets, Bango introduced key functionality to better manage and track multiple top-up activations and expirations across consumer history.

For consumers, these innovations allow them to purchase multiple top-ups throughout a billing cycle to maintain or extend the perks they are entitled to. For instance, a customer might top-up their pre-paid account with $30 at the start of the month and then purchase a second top-up for $20 mid-month to extend their data plan or additional services. This translates into uninterrupted access to digital subscriptions previously only accessible via post-pay.

For resellers and content providers, innovations in sequential top-up stacking ensure instant entitlement updates, while simplifying billing through automatic reconciliation. Real time event notifications for critical actions like activations or expirations provide resellers and content providers with end-to-end visibility into changes in top-up statuses, ensuring a seamless experience.

For resellers, the Bango multiple top-up solution lowers acquisition costs and accelerates time to market in pre-paid dominant regions such as LATAM, Asia and Africa, helping them reach consumers faster and more efficiently. This capability is also applicable to treasury wallets, unlocking the opportunity for verticals beyond Telco’s into vast markets where credit card penetration is low or unfavored.

Data models to power subscription economy

To keep pace with the fast-evolving subscription economy, understanding consumer engagement, predicting churn and optimizing acquisition strategies are critical factors. This is made possible through investment to increase the level of granularity, contextual depth and richness of our datasets. This enhances the accuracy and predictive power of our models to help partners unlock greater value from the Bango ecosystem. To support the growing volume and complexity of data, we also increased the scalability of our data architecture and minimized latency in retrieving data.
