365 Retail Markets and Azkoyen Partner to Provide Connected Coffee Machines





Troy, MICH, August 1, 2018—365 Retail Markets, the global leader in MicroMarket technology—offering a best in class point-of-sale platform for the vending, foodservice and hospitality industries—is pleased to announce that its innovative 365 Inside device is now compatible with Azkoyen coffee machines. This partnership will help to advance the industry to bring simple, cost-effective, cashless payments into the OCS space.



Consumers will now be able to purchase coffee at an Azkoyen coffee machine that is fitted with a 365 Inside using the 365Pay mobile app; subsequently, operators can get real-time reporting on their machine’s sales, profitability analysis and refill status.

“Having 365 Inside work with Azkoyen coffee machines is a perfect match,” said Chad Francis, Director of Software Development for 365 Retail Markets.” 365 Inside devices work as an integral part of the 365 Connected CampusSM and allowing Azkoyen coffee machines to now become part of those campuses. This will allow the thousands and thousands of users to purchase their drinks through the 365Pay app at their convenience.”
