Hello Again to the Forum---
It has been a little over a year since I last posted in the ShurVend User’s Group and then the User’s Group disappeared. There are many reasons for the hiatus I took for the year, but now my energy has returned and my go-get-‘em attitude is back. It was kinda like a sabbatical during the past year where I took time to study, observe, and listen to the vibes that are changing this industry on a daily basis. I took some time to travel to 3-4 states delivering and installing vendors and looking at car washes as we found them along the way. The economic problems that engulfed the U.S. during the past few years has forced many businesses to re-access where they are and where they needed to go to survive. We at ShurVend were no different.
As a result of the study and observations that we made, in January, 2012, the idea and the design for a whole new high security vending machine was conceived and built; it became known as the ShurVend VendPro-iG4 (a 32-selection, internet ready, Generation 4 machine). This vending machine encompassed all the experience, customer ideas, and the technology that we learned and was current in January, 2012. This vendor was shown for the first time at the Car Wash Show in Las Vegas and was user friendly with real time data using a “Smart Phone”. The Vend-Pro-iG4 was well received by attendees at the show and we have been very busy building different models since the show. The original free standing –iG4 has morphed into an in-the-wall model (-iG4W) with front loading, and an in-the -wall model (-iG4RL) that is rear loaded.
