At Venditalia 2026, 365 Retail Markets showcased the latest innovations shaping the future of unattended retail, with solutions designed to improve convenience, security and the overall consumer experience across workplaces, hospitality and other high traffic environments.

A key highlight was the company's latest age verification technology, enabling operators to securely and compliantly offer age restricted products such as alcohol through unattended retail. Using a generated QR code, authorised users can access designated product ranges while ensuring responsible purchasing and regulatory compliance.

The event also demonstrated 365 Retail Markets' commitment to helping operators, resellers and partners simplify operations through a combination of intelligent software, connected hardware and integrated payment solutions. With almost two decades of experience, the company continues to support businesses in delivering more efficient operations alongside enhanced customer experiences.

Another innovation on display was PicoCoffee Plus, which enables consumers to purchase coffee alongside snacks or cold drinks in a single seamless transaction using one payment device. The solution reflects the growing demand for frictionless purchasing experiences and greater convenience within self service environments.

As workplace habits continue to evolve, 365 Retail Markets is helping organisations meet rising expectations around food quality, availability and flexibility. By providing 24/7 access to fresh food and beverages through its Pico portfolio, the company is supporting employee wellbeing, creating more engaging workplace environments and building the future of convenience through intelligent unattended retail technology.

Another highlight of the showcase was the launch of PicoFreezer Vision, extending the Vision range to frozen products alongside chilled and ambient solutions. This gives operators greater flexibility to offer a wider selection of food and beverages while maintaining secure access, intelligent temperature control and seamless grab-and-go purchasing powered by computer vision technology.

Visitors also experienced Stockwell 2.0 Smart Store, where customers can shop just as they would in a traditional convenience store. By simply authenticating with a payment card or the 365Pay app, shoppers can browse, pick up, replace or select multiple products before the AI-powered system automatically completes the transaction.

The event also introduced VisionLink, the latest innovation for the Vision platform. VisionLink connects multiple Vision devices into one seamless shopping experience, enabling customers to shop across coolers, freezers and ambient cabinets with a single payment, one receipt and one frictionless transaction, while helping operators increase basket sizes and improve convenience.

Venditalia also marked the official welcome of Cantaloupe into the 365 Retail Markets family, bringing together an even broader portfolio of self-service retail technology, payments and software solutions backed by the same commitment to innovation, reliability and local support.

Together, these innovations demonstrate how 365 Retail Markets is continuing to build the future of convenience, delivering smarter retail experiences that meet the evolving needs of operators and consumers alike.
