How to make barriers become opportunities? • Technology • Vending can benefit from the high mobile phone penetration rate (>120% in UK, Italy and Germany) • To change consumer perceptions of the vending channel • Digital screens = consumer interaction • New payment systems • Anti-vandalism • Telemetry
