In an effort to provide industry-leading vending and MicroMarket technology, 365 Retail Markets, providers of self-checkout technology, announced it has invested and partnered with AirVend, making the AV5 and AV7 cashless touchscreen peripherals available to customers within existing vending locations, the company said in a news release.
The AirVend AV5 and AV7 units can be retrofitted to most vending machines, giving operators machine telemetry, cashless payments, inventory data, nutritional information and the ability to wirelessly load and display promotional materials. Future integrations with 365SmartHQ and AV-Live will allow operators to manage and report on both their vending and MicroMarket installations from a single, web-based portal.
"As a MicroMarket and vending technology company, 365 Retail Markets has always understood how important it is for operators to simplify their technical and operational environments," said Matt Caston, 365's chief strategy officer. "With this partnership, 365 and AirVend will be able to offer customers best-in-class solutions for both environments."
