When no one is there, every interaction has to work

Unattended retail creates new opportunities to sell beyond the traditional store. But without an associate nearby, every interaction depends on technology that works. When payments or devices fail, a small issue can become downtime, lost revenue, and a poor customer experience.
‍

  • Every tap has to work: There is no associate to step in if something goes wrong. Payment has to work the first time, every time.
  • Downtime means lost sales: When a device goes offline, that location stops generating revenue. There is no workaround when no one is there to fix it.
  • More endpoints to manage: Every vending machine, kiosk, and smart locker is a revenue endpoint. Managing them manually across a large estate doesn't scale.
