“Twenty years ago, we ushered in the era of cashless in the vending
market with ePort Connect,” said
During the show, USAT’s booth focused on the strength of its enterprise platform for unattended retail through its booth design and messaging: bringing consumer engagement and rewards, the benefits of both top-line revenue opportunities through digital payments and the bottom-line margin opportunities through increased efficiencies, logistics and merchandising.
- Seed Markets Expansion: USAT announced that Seed
Markets is now fully integrated with some of the industry’s large
micro market providers, including 365
Retail Markets,
Avanti Markets,Company Kitchen , Three Square Market and Yoke Payments. Through the Seed Markets’ cloud-based and mobile solution, micro market operators can now benefit from one standard set of tools including simplified route management, efficient warehouse pre-picking, a single reporting interface and cash accountability. Seed Markets was also featured in NAMA’s New Product Zone. - Apple Pay Cash Study: In its main booth, USAT highlighted a rewards program promoting Apple Pay Cash where a consumer can receive a discount if they use Apple Pay Cash at a participating ePort location. This program was piloted by Five Star and the white paper was available to show to attendees and is now available for download here.
Michigan State University Study on Low Performing Machines: While many vending operators prioritize equipping high-volume machines with cashless technology, USAT’s study in partnership withMichigan State University found that low performing machines can offer significant revenue growth as well. Vending operators who added cashless technology to machines with less than$2,000 a year in sales experienced top line sales growth of 110 percent on average over the first 18 months following deployment, and cash sales increased by an average of 97 percent on the low performing machines during that same period. The results were presented on the show floor onThursday, April 25th duringNAMA Learning Lab and the full press release announcing the results can be found here.- Partnerships in Action: In its
Partner Pavilion , USAT showcased its technology in real life scenarios such as in workplace break rooms, the airport and more, with various industry partners across the vending, micro-market and office coffee services segments. Participating partners include 365 markets, ShelfX, and Bunn.Starbucks and Avanti Markets are also showcasing USAT’s technology in their booths.
“USA Technologies has been a great partner,” said
“Imperial has been a Seed customer for more than 10 years, and it has
