Boost inc will be at Vendex this month, ready to give visitors the low-down on Vendlive, the operating system for unattended retail, with a completely customisable, global user interface.
But first, a bit of background. There’s no question that unattended retail solutions will dominate the future, not least because they allow operators to offer new products, enter new markets and engage with the consumer like never before.
It’s Boost inc’s belief that the adoption of this new tech is slower than you might expect because much of the innovation seems to have no immediate benefit to the operator. For instance, telemetry delivers real time data, but updates for operators are manual. And those flashy screens? They might give a modern look to machines, but do they really drive extra sales? And even when the tech works, there can be snags: it’s another interface with which consumers must familiarise themselves and it’s another system that the operator has to master.
‘Vendlive changes all that’, Will Barratt, Account Manager at Boost inc said. ‘As the first truly hardware-agnostic platform, Vendlive brings e-Commerce capabilities to smart fridges, vending machines and coffee machines. In fact, to every unattended point of sale. It’s easy to use and install, it’s completely customisable and proven to increase sales.’
So operators can use Vendlive to manage every element of their unattended machine park and to help them build sales and improve efficiencies across the piece? ‘Exactly’ Will said. ‘And for consumers, Vendlive makes for a superior, seamless user experience, across any point of sale.’
Finally, here’s something you may not have realised: Vendlive is a rare, ‘Made in the UK’ success story. Will explained: ‘Vendlive was developed in the UK by our award-winning team of more than 150 vending experts, including designers, engineers and developers and now, it’s being made in the UK and exported to leading operators, manufacturers and brands across the globe.’
You won’t have to cross the globe to catch up on Boost inc’s latest game-changer: catch Will and the team at Vendex on Stand 66 and experience the revolution for yourself!
