Vending Insight 42

Vending Operators and Brand Managers: What Do You Think?

Welcome to the exciting 16th edition of ‘Vending Insight’, a regular feature from Planet Vending and sponsored by Vianet, that focuses on today’s cashless, connected, IoT (Internet of Things) society. There’s no product news in Vending Insight and no stories about the providers of those products. On the contrary, it’s our intention to provide those vending operators, who are hungry for information on developing technologies, with some satisfying food for thought.

This week, Ian Reynolds-Young is putting a call out for Brand Managers and Vending Operators to join us as Thought Leaders and,  as usual, we’ll provide our Ten Top Links that will take you to stories that have appeared across the Internet. They won’t all be about vending: in fact, we’ll steer you, through these stories, in the direction the world is heading. We hope that Vending Insight will inspire you to investigate how to apply the features of cashless payments, data collection and connectivity to the advantage of your vending business.
