A scalable, robust solution to support business expansion
Televend helps vending operators grow their business with real-time data and smart analytics. It offers both hardware and software for easier machine management and cashless payments. With valuable insights and suggestions for the most profitable actions, Televend helps operators optimize all daily operations, reduce costs, and increase revenue.
One of the main challenges for Televend was to have good signal coverage globally. Their devices are sold and sent all over the world, and they need to be sure they will connect and have good and stable communication wherever they are. Everything starts with connectivity.
A fully managed solution that can scale up rapidly
Creating a more interactive customer experience
Intis wants to expand its global business accordingly because the unattended retail industry is growing fast. The company has been working with Orange Business since 2020, viewing it as a trusted partner and connectivity specialist for Intis. The Televend platform helps vending operators grow their business with real-time data and smart analytics.
The latest development, Masterpiece, allows for the creation of more interactive vending machines with features like dynamic display options. Achieving this requires a much larger data package, which the Orange Business IoT connectivity solution has been able to handle easily.
Orange Business, through its IoT Connect Express solution, provides essential professional pre-sales support and dependable service management that enable Intis to successfully deploy its Televend product portfolio, including the newly launched Masterpiece.
IoT Connect Express is a robust solution designed to autonomously manage large fleets of IoT devices from a centralized portal, offering enhanced security and reliability. This is key for Intis as it ensures smooth operation and easy scalability for their growing global network of connected vending machines.
With the Televend platform, Intis transforms both classic and already active vending machines into smart, interactive devices by integrating a unified hardware and software environment. This system allows operators to create a personalized brand experience, manage their machines remotely, and provide features like real-time monitoring, advanced demographic analysis, and seamless cashless transactions.
Additionally, Televend’s AI-powered capabilities - such as dynamic pricing and predictive maintenance - are crucial for optimizing machine performance, while IoT Connect Express from Orange guarantees that these innovations are supported by a reliable, secure connectivity solution.
Unrivaled global coverage to support business expansion
Global mobile connectivity is often fragmented, but Orange Business overcomes this challenge by enabling Intis to connect any device to any vending machine worldwide through its global roaming SIM cards.
These SIM cards ensure seamless cellular network connectivity linking the vending machines to the Televend cloud platform for remote monitoring and management. Televend devices within the vending machines connect to various cellular networks using Orange Business roaming SIMs, providing consistent global coverage. Once installed in the Televend box, these SIMs are activated automatically from the IoT Connect Express centralized portal.
The Televend devices then transmit critical data, such as transactions, payment details, and machine status, back to the Televend Cloud for processing, ensuring smooth and reliable operation across international markets.
Secure global management with IoT Connect Express from Orange Business
Intis chose IoT Connect Express because it can simplify the process of monitoring and managing a host of vending machines across distributed locations. It provides access to self-management and data analysis from a single, centralized portal.
The secure IoT connectivity and management infrastructure that Orange Business provides through a dedicated VPN enables Intis to scale up according to its global business objectives for unattended retail.
The platform provides robust and secure features to protect data in transit between the device and the centralized management platform, ensuring all the data's integrity and confidentiality.
A foundation for global growth
Orange Business SIM cards offer two benefits. The manufacturing process is simple so that the same SIM card can be used regardless of the destination. Secondly, there is a single pricing for a zone, which makes billing and transactions for the deployed devices very easy.
Since Intis started its relationship with Orange Business, it has grown from 150,000 to over 500,000 connected devices globally, and the majority of them are equipped with Orange SIM cards.
