Vending Machine Manufacture acquired by Major MRO Provider
Posted on 4th July 2023
I hope this post finds you all well. I am writing today to inform you about some significant changes in the vending machine industry that may affect your business and operations. It has come to my attention that a prominent MRO Supplier, has acquired a long standing vending machine company – IVTS.
As someone deeply invested in the industry, it is essential for me to keep you informed and provide transparency regarding such developments. While mergers and acquisitions are a common occurrence in the business world, it is crucial to analyze the potential impact on consumers like ourselves. Let’s explore what this acquisition means for our industry and your businesses.
1️⃣ Potential Changes in Service Quality:
Whenever there is a change in ownership, there is a possibility of alterations in the quality of service provided. As a loyal customer, it is essential to stay vigilant and monitor how this transition affects your vending machine experience. Keep an eye out for any shifts in reliability, responsiveness, or customer support that could impact your business operations.
2️⃣ Pricing and Contracts:
In the aftermath of such acquisitions, there is a chance of modifications to pricing structures and contract terms. I encourage all vending machine owners and operators to carefully review any existing contracts with the new owners and evaluate how this acquisition might affect the agreed-upon terms. Take proactive measures to ensure that you are aware of any contractual changes and assess the impact on your budget and profitability.
3️⃣ Data Security:
The major question is Data Security, is your data and your customer data safe with these new owners, do you have sufficient NDA or contracts in place to prevent your data being used to provide them with an edge on your estate of machines and by extension your customers?
Change can be unsettling, but it also presents opportunities for growth and improvement. As we navigate this transition, I encourage all industry professionals to share insights, experiences, and best practices within our LinkedIn community. By collaborating and supporting one another, we can adapt to these changes and continue to thrive in the vending machine industry.
