Technology has revolutionised many industries, including the vending world. It’s no surprise that vending machines are constantly evolving to suit our smart, modern lives.

You might think you haven’t seen any new tech rise to the surface recently (due to current events). However, it’s the advancements in technology that has gone beyond cashless payments to offer contactless, facial recognition, remote machine management, improved efficiency and customer loyalty programs for your vending solution.

New world = new payment trends

We live in a new world where health and safety concerns are on everyone’s minds. In the business world, this raised questions of how to properly conduct business and accept payments during social distancing. Seemingly when these restrictions were put in place, an increase in contactless payments emerged. Our chosen partner for vending payment solutions is Nayax, an industry leader when it comes to contactless payments.

A recent survey saw the percentage of businesses where contactless payments account for 95 percent or more of all transactions. Let’s take a look at the results.

Looking at the image above, you can see that we are becoming a more cashless society. However, it couldn’t have come without a robust digital infrastructure and the easy availability of numerous alternative payment methods.

Refreshment Systems are brilliant, I thought getting vending and coffee machines for our company would be complicated and time consuming, I was totally wrong, from the minute I called and spoke with Frazer I felt confident they could supply what we needed.

I would recommend Refreshment Systems to any car dealership that is looking to enhance their customer experience with a high quality drink offering of bean to cup. We have worked with them for a number of years and installed a new machine last year which we could not be happier with.
