AVT Develops New Automated System To Allow Companies To Collect Data And Reward Trade Show Participants

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc., a leading manufacturer of automated retailing systems, self-service kiosks, and custom vending machines, announced today that it has developed a new line of unique automated retailing systems for rental in the trade show space.

The Trade Show Smart System (TSSS) allows companies to collect data and reward visitors in a highly engaging, automated manner. The company is also rolling out the data collection technology into traditional vending and automated retailing systems.

"The future of Automated Retailing is in collecting and utilizing consumer data," Wayne Salvino, President of AVT, Inc. stated. "Smart Vending will help companies understand buying habits and will provide valuable consumer insight."

The TSSS system can replace several trade show functions simultaneously: Trade show visitors can participate in a company's event by completing certain activities, such as posting with a designated hashtag to social media, sharing a photo, donating to a charity, or almost any other creative action. After completing the tasks, the participant visits the Automated Center to receive a gift or "swag bag." The Automated Center creates a contact database, so the old-fashioned scanning of business cards can be eliminated. Participants can be contacted throughout the show and afterwards to encourage more activity or simply for marketing purposes.

These systems represent a new dimension in Automated Retailing, and push the capabilities of self-service systems to a new level of functionality and performance. From wireless connectivity to social media interaction, these machines are loaded with new features, and provide a Wow factor to any trade show.

To date, the AVT systems have been used by some of the largest companies in the world, including a top American multinational technology and consulting corporation that manufactures and markets computer hardware and software, and one of the top two soft drink and food companies in the world.

"No matter what economic environment we are within, AVT is the undisputed leader of innovation in the automated retailing industry," said Wayne Salvino, President of AVT, Inc. "The company has been singularly responsible for some of the most important advancements in the industry."
