Connected Vending Machine Trends

The national obesity epidemic has had a significant impact on the vending industry as well. Many organizations have moved to put laws in place regarding nutritional offerings. The FDA requires operators that manage 20 or more machines to provide nutritional data, including calorie count. The transparency in the nutritional data is trying to combat the obesity epidemic and hopefully lead people to make healthier snack choices.

These technology advancements, along with operators being more innovative, have allowed the vending industry to evolve over time and better reflect consumer preferences, and provide more options. Cellular connectivity and current 4G LTE service is the preferred choice for a fast and secure connection that drives much of the latest trends and service offerings in the vending space.

With OptConnect’s fully managed services, we provide a commercial-grade router with customized data plans for customers. Rather than having to figure everything else out on their own, OptConnect provides everything else bundled together so that operators can simply plug in the device and almost instantly be connected to the internet.

From our 24/7 Customer Care Team to our 24/7 management and monitoring, we take care of everything for a more reliable solution. We also provide a proprietary customer portal, called Summit where operators can check and manage their portfolio from anywhere.

Whether you operate one device or a thousand, OptConnect has the solutions to give you peace of mind.
