Helper Classes in Vending Machine app

Hi I am new to OOP and appreciate any advice help I can get to fully understand this subject. Here's my question:

In the Vending Machine app there are two "helper classes": Plist Converter and InventoryUnArchiver.

Both classes contain one function each and nothing else. So my question: what is the use of the class in this case? Would it not be simpler to read and more structured if both were just functions?

Thanks with any help to understand this.
