Fastcorp now offers touchless mobile cashless technology on its DIVI vending machines, enabling consumers to view product options and nutrition information on their smartphones before securely purchasing through the vīv app.
Chester CT, August 13th 2020 - As local economies consider how to safely reopen, workplaces are increasingly seeking solutions that eliminate physical touchpoints in all aspects of worklife. To better serve their customers during the current heath climate, Fastcorp, the world leader in frozen food vending machine sales and a pioneer of innovative vending technology systems armed with advanced robotics, has announced the availability of embedded #TrulyTouchless capabilities in their DIVI machines off the manufacturing line. These touchless capabilities result from their partnership with Vagabond, a leading technology provider working to modernize convenience services.
The touchless mobile cashless technology available through Fastcorp enables consumers to remotely view the menu of available options, plus detailed product information including nutrition info, before securely purchasing through the vīv app on their smartphones. The DIVI machine, which features Fastcorp’s patented robotics technology, is available in various machine configurations including frozen, refrigerated or ambient models, allowing customers to sell a wide range of consumer products, not just food, snacks or beverages.
Vagabond’s touchless cashless vīv platform provides a payment solution more secure than cash, swipe, or EMV technology. Operators of the DIVI machines can directly engage consumers at a personal level, email about product specials, schedule happy hours to reduce spoilage and/or increase sales and remotely adjust product prices at any time. Operators no longer need to worry about updating any payments hardware in the future as consumers keep their own smartphones up to date.
Colleen Morris, Vice President at Fastcorp stated, “We’re proud to partner with Vagabond and embed their vīv touchless cashless solution in our advanced DIVI machine. By offering a seamless, unattended retail experience to consumers, we’re helping workplaces keep their staff safe. We offer our customers and their consumers peace of mind during an unpredictable time with a solution that removes unwanted interaction with buttons or payments peripherals on the machine.”
