PROS to KNOW

AWARDS

Despite a difficult year, the convenience
services industry has no shortage of individuals
and teams leading the vending, micro market
and OCS segments toward a stronger future

By Adrienne Zimmer, Contributing Editor

or the seventh year, Automatic Merchandiser asked readers to
nominate colleagues, thought leaders and industry innovators who
deserve recognition for their hard work and dedication to the vending, micro market and office coffee service (OCS) industry. This
year's individual and team Pros to Know have overcome seemingly
insurmountable obstacles in a challenging year. The spread of the
COVID-19 virus across the country and the world halted business,
changed the way consumers work and shop, and greatly affected the
vending, micro market and OCS industry overnight.
Manufacturers and operators have had to adapt to changing consumer
shopping behaviors, buying preferences and work locations in the blink of an
eye and the 2020 Pros to Know have helped their companies not only survive
this trying time, but also prosper. Each of this year's Pros to Know are leaning
into new system and technology adoptions, leveraging data to help move their
businesses forward, and creating innovative solutions to overcome the challenges faced by the COVID-19 pandemic.
