The future of airport shopping…

Posted by Staff in Future of Travel Fri.

The future of airport shopping has a name and it is ZoomShops.  These technology filled vending machines sell iPods, Sony gadgets and more.

The ZoomShop vending machine’s touch screen delivers an experience similar to online shopping, where shoppers can view product photos and access complete specs. Chosen items can be added to a shopping bag, and the transaction takes a few short seconds. After swiping a debit or credit card, a robotic arm gently retrieves and delivers the product directly to the shopper. The consumer’s card is not charged until the patented optical sensors of the ZoomShop detect that the customer has received the product. A receipt is printed and the ZoomShop shopper is on their way. 

Gone are the days when vending machines were only a place to get unhealthy snack and beverage before a flight. Visit zoomsystems.com before your next trip to find a ZoomShop near you.
