Elite Vend teams with Chemesis International to place AI-enabled Vicki machines
April 8, 2021
Elite Vend, an Everett, Washington based convenience services provider, has partnered with Chemesis International Inc., a CBD development company that sells its products through the Vicki AI enabled self-checkout solution, according to a press release.
Under the partnership, Elite Vend will leverage its customer base to enhance Chemesis' Vicki platform expansion. In addition, Elite Vend will provide Chemesis access to its full suite of services which include fulfillment, distribution and servicing.
Elite Vend, which brings a network of golf pro shops and sports related shops and facilities, will deploy its sales and distribution resources to identify strategic placements of Vicki kiosks across the U.S.
Established in 2010, Elite Vend operates in Washington, California, Arizona and Florida and provides full-service vending, office coffee services, water and ice service and FitPick menus for its customers.
"The turnkey program provided by Chemesis fits well with our go-to market approach and CBD fits our consumers value proposition," Ryan Wear, CEO of Elite Vend, said in a prepared statement. "It will be a seamless expansion for Elite Vend to add to our portfolio. The product and brand diversity will allow for increased share of consumer wallet as well as penetrating new locations."
"We look forward to working with Elite Vend and their team in securing new placements for our Vicki kiosks across the United States," said Josh Rosenberg, President of Chemesis.
The partnership was a result of a previously announced partnership between the Pelican Group and Chemesis. The Pelican Group acted as Chemesis' sales arm on the company's behalf.
