V-CommerceSM
V-CommerceSM, as used by NAMA, refers to vending technology. During the past decade, technology has dramatically changed the information vending operators use to plan, coordinate, control, and evaluate operations. Automated information systems enable operators to achieve their goals more easily. V-Commerceism describes the nearly unlimited range of advanced automatic merchandising technology applications available to the industry. These include, but aren’t limited to, data exchange standards, wireless operations, and cashless vending payment systems. Click here to hear a 6-minute presentation podcast by Dr. Michael Kasavana as he shares his findings and projections on the future of vending technology. V-Commerce is taught on the campus at Michigan State University. Each fall, NAMA's endowed professor , Dr. Michael Kasavana, leads a course on V-Commerce.
