WILLISTON, SC -- Crane Merchandising Systems, a Crane Co. company has gone live with Simplifi, its next-generation Cloud platform for enterprise and connectivity software designed for operators to manage their business on the go.  
 
Simplifi is developed as a native Cloud platform with solutions delivered as software as a service (SaaS), eliminating the need for upfront investment in servers, licensing and IT staff. The mobile-friendly platform allows users to access their data and perform key actions from any device, anywhere.
 
"By automating operations with this affordable solution, vending operators achieve a higher degree of inventory accuracy and route efficiency, saving time and enabling business growth," said Scott Matza, Crane Merchandising Systems global product manager for enterprise software. "We plan to make significant investment in Simplifi in the years ahead to introduce enhancements and innovations to the platform and provide customers with new capabilities frequently and seamlessly."
 
Matza explained that the vision for Simplifi is to develop a holistic solution that can serve all areas of unattended convenience services. He added that leveraging a phased approach allows Crane Merchandising Systems to get to market quickly and add new features that benefit customers as their businesses grow.
 
The Simplifi platform includes a consolidated and redesigned mobile application that allows field personnel to perform critical route and service tasks efficiently and accurately. With this app, available for Apple and Android as well as tablets and mobile devices, operators and users have flexibility and can get up and running quickly. Simplifi Mobile also works with Streamware's VendMax program, and includes newly added support for office coffee/delivery services.  
 
Crane Cashless customers will see a change to the online portal previously known as Streamware Connect. Users will immediately benefit from the new design of the portal through the free Simplifi Connect service.
 
"Our goal is to provide an intuitive user experience and simplify our customers' experience with technology," Matza concluded.
