"In an effort to provide industry-leading vending and MicroMarket technology, 365 Retail Markets has invested and partnered with AirVend and will now offer their AV5 and AV7 cashless touchscreen peripherals to customers within existing vending locations. This 365 solution will be known as 365SmartVend.

In addition to the move toward cashless payments, the vending industry is trending toward offering greater product choice through MicroMarkets as well as more information to consumers on the vending machines themselves. AirVend is the perfect solution for operators looking to make the transition to cashless and adhere to new product requirements and legislation."

User Account Payments and Saving on Processing Fees

Ranging from fingerprint payments to market cards and the recent addition of FreedomPay, 365 Retail Markets has the most expansive options for account payments in the MicroMarket industry. Not only do these options provide ultimate flexibility for kiosk operators, but they allow for substantial savings on processing fees through one-time account funding rather than a charge on each purchase.

Below is a chart breaking down every transaction by payment method processed through any of our 365 SmartHUBs:

The highest level of account usage across the 365 network is 68% - over 15% higher than the average of 53%. This operator pays 35% less in credit card processing fees than our average store which equates to roughly $4,000 in savings for an operator with 10 locations.

More important than the savings, however, are the insights the operator has into what their customers are buying and the ability to better communicate, stock and manage their locations.

99.98% Uptime

365 Retail Markets is built to scale, our uptime numbers prove it and our reputation for quality service and hardware is unparalleled.

How to Care for Your SmartHUB

365 SmartSeries Part 3

Cleaning the Inside of your Kiosk

While you may not think it is important to keep the inside of your kiosk clean, proper airflow is critical to keeping all the kiosk components cool and functioning properly.

We recommend cleaning the dust out of your kiosk at least once per month with a can of compressed air. It is important to check not only the large-surface areas, but carefully inspect corners and edges for dust as well. Additionally, inspect the computer, card reader, bill acceptor and exhaust fans located on the top of your kiosk for any dust buildup that needs to be expelled.

Kiosk maintenance is very easy to do, and is a simple way to ensure proper functionality for the life of your 365 SmartHUB.
