Goli Nutrition, which produces an apple cider vinegar gummy, is teaming with Atos, a provider of IoT technology, on an AI-powered vending solution to provide Goli with supply chain insight, operational and product efficiencies and increased consumer engagement, according to a press release.

The Atos Codex Internet of Things solution will help build, run and secure business services and data platforms for Goli's 20,000 cashless and contactless vending machines in retail locations like airports and shopping malls. The first roll out of 5,000 vending machines will take place across the U.S. and Canada this month with a second worldwide phase in 2021.

To elevate customer satisfaction and engagement, the solution establishes secure network connections to a cloud-based IoT platform to empower mobile apps for an added value with customized offers, modern payment services and digital wallets, and near-me promotions — turning digital engagement into increased product sales, according to the release.

"We aim to meet the consumer where they are best served with consistent, high quality health and wellness options in stores and on-the-go locations," Michael Bitensky, Goli co-founder, said in the release. "In our growing partnership, Atos has empowered our manufacturing process with cutting-edge technology. Going forward they will serve as our key digital partner in this new retail experience with digital services that harness the value of IoT data at the center of our business."
