Planet Antares Vending Machines Use Cashless Techniques

It is no secret that customer satisfaction can be achieved by offering convenience. Planet Antares vendors recognize this key to pleasing consumers and the automatic merchandising industry will not let them down in the near future, especially with all the beenfits that are offered by cashless vending.

Telemetry solutions and electronic cash promise faster implementation of cashless options in full-line vending.

A major role is played by the credit and bank card readers in the movement by telemetry providers to serve the automatic merchandising industry. Some industry veterans also argue that cashless transactions are not the most important advantage offered by telemetry, in fact cashless systems do represent one of its obvious consumer benefits.

Planet Antares vending operators can benefit in the form of greater product accountability at the machine level through credit and prepaid card acceptance. Moreover, it will reduce liabilities associated with cash, and also enable faster transactions. Enhanced customer convenience will translate into higher sales, while improved efficiencies will result in a more profitable business.

With the rapid pace of current times, consumer lifestyles have also changes. This has led to need for faster transactions. The traditional meals have been replaced by “eating on the go” snacks and beverages. This means that convenience has become critical to consumers.

Planet Antares vending operators, who have previously enjoyed customer loyalty, have faced more competition from quick service restaurants, c-stores and speciality retailers for on-the-go dining. If you want to survive the competition, cashless payment options are a great tool.

Vending machine users have not been using magnetic stripe and smart card systems due to their limitations. Most vending operators provide these systems when requested to by an account. On the other hand, credit and bank debit card systems can be used by anyone who carries them and this gives them the potential to become standard peripherals in the Planet Antares vending equipment.

According to some vendors, card readers will increase the vending sales because they will encourage consumers to spend more money. The card purchase will leave an electronic trail of what was purchased, when and by whom. This will do a lot for the vending industry.
