The benefits

Everything your institution gains

A fully managed service that improves student welfare, generates passive revenue, and requires nothing from your team.

Zero upfront investment

Sorted funds the machines, installation, and all ongoing operational costs. There is no capital expenditure, no procurement process, and no risk to your institution.

Genuine student welfare impact

Students get access to essentials — period products, toiletries, sexual health items, and more — at any hour. No closed shops, no inconvenience, no embarrassment.

Passive revenue share

Your institution receives an agreed percentage of all sales revenue generated on campus. The more students use it, the more you earn.

Fully managed end to end

We handle stocking, cashless payments, remote monitoring, maintenance, and customer support. Your facilities team has nothing to do.

Data and reporting

We share agreed sales and usage data so you can see the service performing. We continuously optimise the product range based on demand.

Trusted, discreet products

Every product is carefully selected for student needs — including sensitive items stocked discreetly and without stigma.

The process

How the partnership works

01

Initial conversation

We meet with your accommodation or student services team to understand your campus layout, student numbers, and priorities.

02

Site assessment

Our team visits to identify the highest-footfall locations — launderettes, common rooms, 24-hour study spaces, and accommodation corridors.

03

Installation at no cost

Sorted installs and configures the machines. We handle all logistics, power requirements, and setup. Nothing is required from your team.

04

Ongoing managed operation

We remotely monitor stock levels, replenish inventory, maintain equipment, and handle any student queries — continuously and proactively.

05

Revenue and performance reviews

You receive your revenue share on an agreed schedule, alongside performance data and product range updates.
