Complementing technology of both companies
paves the way for greater self-service options in hospitality and
beyond.
TROY,
Mich., May 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 365 Retail
Markets, the most trusted global provider of unattended retail
technology, today announced the acquisition of Impulsify, Inc., a
Denver-based retail technology
firm focused on providing grab-and-go experiences in hotels and
multifamily communities.
"Together we are poised to offer solutions
across even more touchpoints of consumers' daily lives." –
Joe Hessling, CEO
Founded in 2013 by Janine Williams, Impulsify has an
established presence across multiple well-known hotel chains as
well as boutique properties and is expanding to serve more sectors
with high-traffic common areas that would benefit from the
convenience of grab-and-go retail.
Impulsify offers easy to manage self-service retail outlets that
improve property experiences, guest experiences, and provide
incremental revenue opportunities, creating a seamless fit with 365
Retail Markets' growth initiatives.
Founded in 2008, 365 provides a full suite of best-in-class,
self-service technologies for food service operators including
end-to-end integrated SaaS software, payment processing and
point-of-sale hardware. Today, the company's technology solutions
power food retail spaces at corporate offices, manufacturing and
distribution facilities, educational campuses, and more. The
addition of Impulsify's technology will serve to enhance
opportunities for growth within the hospitality industry and
beyond.
The synergies across the two companies will add further value to
existing customers by removing barriers into the hospitality sector
and providing more tech-forward and robust solutions compared to
traditional vending products. The solutions also offer a strong
appeal to prospects looking to provide more convenience options to
consumers, no matter where they are.
Joe Hessling, Founder & CEO
of 365 Retail Markets, believes this venture will provide
incredible upside for the self-service industry. "At 365, we
believe in empowering the most convenient and enjoyable
self-service retail experiences on the planet. The team at
Impulsify shares that passion, and together we are poised to offer
solutions across even more touchpoints of consumers' daily lives.
Our world is constantly on the move, and we want to be with them
every step of the way," he said.
Williams shares that sentiment. "The team at 365 immediately
impressed me with their drive for innovation and focus on putting
the consumer experience at the heart of what they do," she said.
"We see this opportunity as a way to take what we have proudly
built at Impulsify and lean on 365's experience and earned trust
within the self-service industry to address the increasing demand
for these types of solutions in even more places."
The acquisition enables Impulsify to realize its expansion
potential while contributing to 365's growth strategy and mission
to facilitate seamless self-service retail experiences through its
growing ecosystem and portfolio of resources. 365 Retail Markets
has assumed full ownership as of May 22,
2024.
