At Siemens Financial Services (SFS), we combine a deep knowledge of the vending sector with a drive to continually innovate, in order to maintain our position as a key finance provider to the industry. We leverage decades of experience in the marketplace to provide vending operators with competitive financial solutions, to help them to improve cash flow while enabling their customers to acquire quality machines through affordable financing. Increasingly, through our new digitalised processes, we’re enhancing our service for vendors and their customers.
Digitalisation is growing throughout the vending sector and one of the ways we’ve supported our vending operators is through our SieSmart online finance tool. SieSmart provides operators with 24 hour access to information and transactions relating to the businesses they serve. We also employ e-signature technology, a secure mechanism that allows a document to be created, sent and signed electronically rather than on paper. This not only improves accuracy but also significantly cuts down the time and cost associated with signing and processing documents, making the whole process more efficient. Our vendors also benefit from ‘Faster Payments’, a system that allows funds to be transferred within minutes. SieSmart will soon be available as a mobile application, providing users with even greater flexibility.
Siemens demonstrates our commitment to the industry through a dedicated vending channel and manager. We have an experienced national team of account managers that understand our customers’ challenges and support them accordingly. By working with us, vendors have the reassurance that they’re benefiting from the support of a stable partner that has a national presence and is fully committed to the UK market.
Kevin Reed, National Sales Manager for Vending at SFS comments: “At SFS, we’re proud to have won multiple awards for our service, but far from making us complacent we are encouraged to make further improvements to our service and processes to maintain that position as a market-leader. We’re passionate about working with vending operators to add value to their customer proposition and to facilitate their business growth.”
