Portland, Ore., Oct. 28, 2014 -- VendScreen, the leading developer of vending industry cashless payment technology, announced that it has entered into a partnership with USConnect, the provider of the USConnect OneCard, a stored-value card that offers reward points for purchases, charitable donations and product specific promotions. The new partnership will allow consumers to use their OneCard across all VendScreen touchscreen devices.
“Vending operators can now provide consumers the ability to earn rewards and free products at point of sale,” said David Grano, president and CEO of VendScreen. “A unique feature of VendScreen technology allows us to continuously release software updates that make it easy and cost effective for the operator to manage loyalty programs.”
VendScreen technology enables operators to offer a modern, personalized purchase experience that provides consumers with the information and options they want, such as cashless payment, nutrition information, instant help and credit codes for refunds, all for about the same price as basic card swipe payment devices.
Incentive programs can improve consumer satisfaction with vending machines, and can lead to increased sales through interaction with frequent consumers. Vending operators can now offer promotions on snacks and beverages, and help individuals accumulate points that can be used for future purchases.
“Through this strategic partnership with VendScreen, vending operators can now access our more than 100,000 loyalty program members and deliver targeted promotions leading to increased sales,” said Jeff Whitacre, President and CEO of USConnect.
