("Vianet" or the "Group")
New unattended contactless payment solution launched through
Suresite partnership
Vianet partners with Suresite Group in strategic move to drive
innovation in the unattended contactless payment space
London, UK, Nov 25, 2022: Leading payment solutions provider
Vianet has recently partnered with f orecourt retail specialist
Suresite Group Ltd ("Suresite") , strengthening their presence in
the fast growing 'unattended' contactless payments industry (the
"Partnership").
The Partnership sees Vianet's innovative contactless payment
solution hardware join forces with Suresite's market-leading
acquiring services. The result is a competitive, user-friendly, and
highly secure payments solution able to futureproof any unattended
or automated retail business, from charging points and unmanned car
washes to air and vac stations.
Vianet, COO, Craig Brocklehurst, said "Outside our core vending
market we are seeing increased demand for unattended contactless
payments being applied to assets such as pool tables, ticket
machines, arcade games, jukeboxes, photobooths, laundromats, and
many more, where coins and tokens are the main form of payment, and
the Suresite partnership will support customers and help extend our
footprint"
Nick Horne, sales and commercial director at Suresite, added :
"Our strategy at Suresite is to continually innovate, introducing
more hardware options to our customer base. The Partnership with
contactless payment experts Vianet will allow us to grow our
presence outside of the fuel industry yet leverage those existing
customer relationships in the forecourt sector - which alongside
charging points, also opens opportunities with unmanned car washes,
jet washes and air and vac stations."
James Dickson, Chairman & CEO of Vianet commented: "We are
delighted to partner with Suresite in this innovative collaboration
proving, once again, Vianet's ability not only to drive new
technological initiatives but also to establish new markets for our
products."

About Vianet
Vianet Group is a leading provider of actionable management
information and business insight created through combining data
from our Internet of Things ('IOT') solutions and external
information sources.
Since its Admission to AIM in 2006, the Group has grown from its
core beer monitoring business both organically and through
strategic acquisitions to widen its offering and develop new
businesses, especially in vending telemetry and contactless payment
solutions particularly for the premium coffee sector.
Servicing over 300 customers across the world and rendering live
data to our IOT platform from over 250,000 connected machines
daily, Vianet is one of the largest business to business (b2b)
connected solutions providers in Europe with established long-term
relationships with blue chip customers and growing recurring
revenues which are over 85% of our total revenues.
In our Smart Machines division, we connect a single data
gathering device with its own on-board communication capability to
a customer's asset or system. The device then sends data back via
our IOT platform to cloud based servers. The technology was
originally developed for automated retailing machines; however, the
flexibility and functionality of the device means the technology
can be applied to any machine which has the capability to output
data. The device is also used to connect our contactless payment
solution and communicate payment terms to our cloud-based payment
services providers where that application is also required.
The Smart Zones division is where we connect multiple data
gathering devices into one or more systems or assets with the data
from those devices being communicated back to our IOT platform and
cloud-based servers via a single 4G communications hub. The
technology was originally developed for flow monitoring devices,
temperature sensors, and asset management in drinks retailing but
any data gathering device with a digital output could be connected
to the communications hub where required such as gaming machines,
utilities management and POS.
