AVS Companies has launched a new subsidiary company, AVS Connect.

The new company will focus on the cooler market, offering software, technology and point-of-sale systems to vending and micro market operators.
AVS Connect will serve as a replacement for Premium Product Group and all CoolBlu Coolers and IceBlu Freezers will now be under the AVS Connect name.
Jeff Yoder, vice president and general manager, said: “Our goal with AVS Connect is to bring that same customer service dedication to the point-of-sale and telemetry needs of our micro market and vending customers.
“We understand the unique challenges and opportunities within the cooler and vending industry and are committed to providing state-of-the-art solutions that streamline operations.”
Tom Vogt, vice president of micro markets and vending, added: “The continued growth of micro markets and cooler markets will continue to see an influx of innovation where software and technology are not just add-ons, but core components.”
