There was a learning curve for some of the less techno- logically-savvy people in the business envi- ronments where the technology was being introduced. “At first glance, it probably was intimidating,” he admits. “But people got used to the fact that this was a new way of buying things, and a lot of these stores were actually just replacing banks of vending machines. And as they started to use it more, and as they got used to it, and used it on a daily basis, they didn’t want to turn back. The participation level probably doubled, if not tripled, with this new type of technology. And that’s what made us successful; the marketplace had grown from one, when we first opened the first one, to over 30,000 in the workplace.” Hessling adds that 365 Retail Markets is con- stantly innovating and coming up with new products and services. “In the next few months, we will release a new, smaller terminal,” he states. “It’s even smaller than a tablet, so that’s something that we expect to be out in the market with more points of purchase within building locations, rather than one central one.
