Now this is exciting! :)18 Dec 2014 10:41
This extract below is key for me in seeing a decent return during 2015/2016 as I think stocking telemetry and cashless payment is key to increase profitability and market share. The ability for Borris to produce these new machines and advanced telemetry for SNAK 'in-house' is massive advantage for SNAK over their competitors IMHO. As I've said before, if they can produce better telemetry service, more capable and cheaper machines than the competition they will take market share :
'The partnership that is now being forged with our new majority shareholder is focused around the opportunities offered by applying recent technological advances in cashless payments and telemetry to an industry that has thus far been slow to embrace change. By employing the latest technology we can improve control, service, margins and the consumer experience of buying from our machines.
Our new shareholder not only has this technology in house but is moving it forward rapidly with the use of smart phone apps and improving telemetry. The benefits of these advances include dynamic routing, only visiting a site when necessary; cashless payment systems via card and smartphone; the ability to change pricing and make offers centrally and the capacity to communicate directly with consumers via display screens and smartphone.
This is no longer wishful thinking but a tangible reality given the resources to invest and the necessary time for implementation. Technology will not only reduce the costs of operation but as importantly will increase consumer enthusiasm for the purchase at all times of the day and night.'
Exciting stuff!
