Main Content

Machine to Machine (M2M) solutions can interface with almost any mechanical or electrical system or machine. This makes the technology ideal for retail and vending applications where the ability to take credit and debit card payments remotely would increase sales opportunities.

Retail M2M in practice

Scenario

A sandwich delivery company is looking to protect its market share following the opening of an express supermarket in the area. Research indicates that its cash only policy was having a negative impact on sales.

Vodafone’s solution

In association with a Vodafone partner, the sandwich company would install a mobile electronic point of sale (MEPOS) terminal in the delivery van to allow the driver to accept credit and debit card payments on the move.

How would this benefit the sandwich company?

  • Greater convenience for customers
  • The risk of keeping cash in the van would be reduced
