SINGAPORE - An ongoing pilot to make vending machines smarter will allow customers to make payments via national QR code SGQR, and operators to monitor remotely their inventory levels.
This marks the latest move to digitise the traditionally cash-reliant vending machine sector, where local sales are expected to exceed US$72 million (S$98 million) next year, up from US$67.2 million in 2017, according to data from research firm Euromonitor International.
