The challenge
The existing experience was unreliable and generic.
The workplace relied on frequently understocked traditional vending with generic snacks and drinks.
Deployment profile
Large Dallas corporate headquarters
A frequently understocked vending bank became a 24/7 workplace amenity.
NextShelf replaced frequently understocked traditional vending with a managed workplace program spanning snacks, beverages, and grab-and-go meals. Employees gained a broader 24/7 selection, while NextShelf took responsibility for stocking, monitoring, service, employee product requests, and continuous assortment optimization.

A broader workplace amenity, fully managed.
