As UK supermarkets gear up for the DRS rollout in October 2027, success isn’t just about deploying reverse vending machines (RVMs)—it’s about establishing a fully integrated, intelligent infrastructure that delivers real-time control, comprehensive oversight, and seamless compliance. Enter RecyHub: Recyclever’s advanced RVM fleet management portal, engineered for the complexity and scale of modern retail.
Real-Time Integration with POS and Loyalty Ecosystems
For today’s supermarkets, asset management means more than just monitoring hardware. RecyHub enables full integration with your Point of Sale (POS) systems, allowing RVMs to issue instant, secure vouchers redeemable at checkout—closing the loop between recycling and in-store purchases. Thanks to QR code generation and real-time API connectivity, customers can credit their refunds directly to loyalty cards or retailer apps, driving repeat business and deeper shopper engagement.
POS Integration: Secure voucher codes generated by the RVM are readable at any till, supporting seamless redemption against purchases and minimising manual intervention.
Loyalty Card/App Integration: Users scan a QR code or loyalty barcode at the screen, linking returns to their loyalty account or app in real time—no extra steps or delays.
API-Ready Design: All transaction, voucher, and reward data can be instantly pushed to your internal systems or customer relationship management (CRM) platforms, enabling end-to-end traceability.
Built for DRS Scheme Operator Requirements
In the UK, the DRS scheme operator (UK DMO) will regularly update the eligibility database for container returns. With RecyHub:
Automated Database Updates: Every RVM is automatically synced with the latest list of eligible containers, ensuring compliance and eliminating the risk of outdated data.
API Connectivity for Reporting: The portal is built on open API standards, allowing data to be shared directly with the DRS operator, including real-time deposit transactions, collection statistics, and machine status reports.
Instant Reporting: Download and forward compliance and recycling reports to scheme operators or government agencies with a single click, fulfilling all regulatory obligations.
Live Fleet Visibility and Tiered Access Control
Whether you manage hundreds of stores or a single supermarket, RecyHub gives you granular visibility and control:
Head Office Oversight: Corporate teams see the entire RVM estate, with live dashboards for fill levels, error statuses, usage trends, and more.
Store-Level Management: Site managers access only their machines, viewing real-time status, initiating maintenance requests, and monitoring local performance.
Tiered Access Security: All logins and actions are tracked and logged, with configurable permissions for staff, engineers, and administrators.
Centralised Media and Campaign Management
Turn every RVM into a dynamic engagement platform:
AV Library Control: Upload, schedule, and deploy targeted ads or informational videos to specific machines or locations based on time of day, campaign, or event.
Interactive Campaigns: Link media content to real-time promotions, vouchers, or loyalty incentives, maximising the impact of every customer interaction.
Total Telemetry, Predictive Maintenance, and Operations Centre Support
Sensor and Motor Monitoring: Every moving part and sensor in every RVM is tracked live, enabling predictive maintenance and minimising unplanned downtime.
24/7 Ops Centre Monitoring: The Recyclever operations centre continuously monitors the entire fleet, proactively alerting your team to anomalies or service needs before they escalate.
Effortless, Scalable, and Secure Fleet Management
With RecyHub, UK supermarkets gain more than a machine—they gain a full command centre for scalable, secure, and compliant DRS operations. From POS and loyalty integration to API-enabled scheme reporting and centralised media control, RecyHub is the smart backbone your retail estate needs for a successful DRS future.
