A micro market is an unattended store utilising a safer contactless/touchless self-checkout kiosk or point of sale (POS) as the payment station. Micro markets can sell anything, though are typically stocked with convenience items. They can easily be integrated into an office or community space as an alternative to vending. 

Does a micro market offer contactless or touchless payment options?

Yes, it offers a whole range of contactless or touchless payment options. Our 365Touchless Transaction Technologies™, through its 365Pay™ App and the 365Beacon™, create a safe and welcoming experience for micro market clients and customers.  

Why is a micro market considered to be a safer staff lunchroom solution?

Micro markets work perfectly for social distancing as they are designed for smaller groups of people compared to a traditional canteen. As micro markets are open 24/7 and not limited to lunch breaks, high volumes of visits are spread throughout the day. As micro markets are typically installed on multiple floors, the risk of contact is also reduced as staff can quickly access the market and return to their desk. In addition, a micro market offers a whole range of different contactless or touchless payment options. Combined with enhanced cleaning and sanitisation practises, our contactless or touchless solutions are critical in reducing consumer touch points in staff service areas and break rooms.

The 365 kiosks or POS solutions are the micro market payment centres. The POS offers several payment options, is extremely user friendly, and is expedient to use. The primary functions of the POS are to manage accounts, check prices, and make purchases.

SmartInventory™ is our mobile-friendly inventory application, designed to ease both your routine daily stocking and your monthly physical inventory. Our Inventory Management has two modes: Perpetual and Physical. Perpetual Inventory allows you to scan an item’s Universal Product Code (UPC) and will report back how many of these items are currently in your inventory. You can adjust this number if you are adding or removing items from stock using a simple (+,-) system. Physical Inventory allows you to quickly set or reset your inventory levels, without regard to what is currently in inventory. In Physical Inventory mode, when you scan an item, it will ask you for the quantity in the store, and replace your current inventory number, with the new amount input. SmartInventory™ can be used on most mobile devices including our SmartTablet™ Inventory Bundle, iPad™, iPhone™, Android™ phone and many others.
