Crane Merchandising Systems offers simplifi, its next generation Cloud platform for enterprise and connectivity software designed for operators to manage their business on the go. simplifi is developed as a native Cloud platform with solutions delivered as Software as a Service (SaaS), eliminating the need for upfront investment in servers, licensing, and IT staff. The mobile-friendly platform allows users to access their data and perform key actions from any device, anywhere. The simplifi platform includes a consolidated and redesigned mobile application that allows field personnel to perform critical route and service tasks efficiently and accurately. With this app, available for Apple and Android as well as tablets and mobile devices, operators and users have ultimate flexibility and can get up and running quickly. simplifi MOBILE also works with Streamware’s VendMAX program, and includes newly added support for Office Coffee/Delivery Services.
Crane Cashless customers will see a change to the on-line portal previously known as Streamware Connect into simplifi CONNECT. Users will immediately benefit from the new design of the portal through the free simplifi CONNECT service. For those customers looking to add remote management capabilities to their devices and screens, a new value add service will be launched called simplifi CONNECT PLUS. This package will expand the ability for operators to manage their planograms, make price changes, update nutritional information, and display their own promotional content on screened devices over-the air without costly trips to machines. To extend the value of the MEDIA platform and Navigator Touch retrofit screens, operators are able to employ remote management for location specific or other customized content, including national awareness advertisements that drive consumer engagement and loyalty.
