Applestone Solutions Enhances New Vending Software for OEMs

Applestone Solutions, a leader in vending machine software, has announced an update to its cloud-based solution for vending technology OEMs. The software works with machines running Android, Linux, or Windows.

“Software sells hardware,” said Joshua Applestone, CEO of Applestone Solutions, in a recent press release. “OEMs who work with our software solution can cover more retail categories, accommodate more product types, and focus on what they do best — selling great vending hardware — while we help them meet evolving customer needs through constant software innovation. OEM distributors, resellers, solution seller partners, and VARs make substantial revenue when they sell more advanced software with OEM hardware.”

Key Features:

• Universal Compatibility: Operates on any machine running Android, Linux, or Windows.
• Real-Time Tracking: Provides instant data on sales and inventory.
• Flexible Customization: Supports varied weights, colors, sizes, and expiration dates.
• Network Options: Operates in both cloud-connected and offline modes.

“Operators and retailers want to vend everything from perishable food to electronics to regulated products, and they should be able to use exactly the right hardware for their needs,” said Greg Kelleher, CTO of Applestone, in the recent press release. “Our software solution is open and adaptable. We’ve geared our latest release specifically to OEMs, making our offering different from what you see from our competitors, who are typically restricted to specific hardware.”

Applestone’s open-standards solution allows OEMs to focus on hardware innovation while accessing powerful software features. Its item-level tracking is ideal for managing perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and precise inventory controls.

Key benefits for OEMs include:

• Reliable, proven software
• Lower software development costs
• Satisfied customers in North America and Europe
• Faster innovation to boost revenue
