365 Retail Markets Announces Modular Smart Store Combinations to Expand Operator Business Opportunities

Building on the success of the computer vision and AI-driven Stockwell and PicoCooler Vision, the new modular cabinets greatly enhance versatility and flexibility for food service operators looking to offer a better consumer experience through the use of AI. The technology opens doors to expanded market placement opportunities and the easy replacement of outdated vending machines.

Selectable build options leveraged with customizable settings create tailored placements for virtually any space. Of particular note is the ability to7 sell age-restricted items by enacting the new age verification feature. With adjustable day and time settings to align with local regulations, the feature will allow operators to offer a unique solution to hospitality spaces and beyond, reducing the staff burden of checking identification while delivering consumers the products they want in a self-service capacity.

Immediately available will be the Ambient Vision add-on, which connects to a PicoCooler Vision. The ambient cabinet is a controlled-access solution enabled through the existing payment terminal on the PicoCooler Vision. With one transaction, consumers can shop both the refrigerated and ambient sides of the smart store, with a seamless, no-scan, transaction enabled by computer vision.

In addition to the standard sized Ambient Vision add-on, 365 will be offering a larger model for expanded merchandising space. With a frame size nearly 40% larger than the base model, its spacious shelving allows for greater product offering capability.

"Data, AI, Computer Vision, Consumer Engagement— these are all technologies invested in and pioneered by 365. Our new products are a combination of these technologies and are already in high demand within our Convenience Services customer base and now being adopted by retail, hospitality and healthcare," said Joe Hessling, Founder and CEO of 365 Retail Markets. "We believe that these new products will become mainstream tools to get products to consumers in a safe, secure and efficient way for years to come."

Smart cabinets can be ordered now in custom combinations, with one cashless payment device managing up to three zones. Variable design layouts offer greater opportunities for optimizing available retail space. They also allow for multiple temperature cabinet combinations; ambient and cold products can be offered side-by-side in modular cabinets with variable sizing options, and 365 plans to add a vision-enabled freezer in the coming months.

The PicoAmbient Vision is also in development to be available in a standalone module, for both the standard and wide versions, creating more options to replace a standard snack vending machine while creating a more seamless and enjoyable customer experience.
