Refreshment Systems Shortlisted for National Retail Technology Award
The shortlist recognises RSL’s
Vendsmart technology, a new software platform built to transform how vending
machines operate. While Vendsmart looks like a vending machine, it runs on
completely new software that turns it into a fully automated point of sale.
The system includes age
verification, digital advertising, cashless payments, real-time sales data, and
automated stock control. It allows retailers to sell a wide range of products
in a secure and compliant way without the need for staff on site.
The Retail Systems Awards recognise
companies that are changing how retail works and delivering real impact for
customers and businesses.
Steve May at Refreshment Systems,
said:
“We built Vendsmart because we
could see a clear opportunity to do more with automated retail. This shortlist
is a great recognition of the work our team has put into developing the
software and bringing it to market. We are proud to represent Bradford at a
national level.”
Vendsmart is already being used in
workplaces, leisure venues, and other high-footfall locations. It helps
retailers expand into new spaces while improving efficiency and providing
better data to manage performance.
Winners will be announced at the Retail Systems Awards later this year.
