Tech 2 Success integrates its OCS e-commerce platform with 365 Retail Markets’ VMS
Tech 2 Success LLC has integrated its OCS E-Commerce platform with the 365 VMS from 365 Retail Markets, a move the companies say will streamline operations and strengthen digital sales for convenience services operators.
The OCS E-Commerce platform enables operators to distribute coffee, snacks and janitorial products directly to clients. By tying that capability into the 365 VMS — used for vending operations, inventory management and data analytics — operators can now manage their unattended retail environments and online storefronts within a single system.
Tech 2 Success CEO John Hickey stated that the integration will enable operators to consolidate customer data and operations in one centralized location. “Our OCS E-Commerce platform, integrated with the 365 VMS, offers operators the ability to manage their operations and customer data in a single, cohesive system,” Hickey said in a release.
Joe Hessling, founder and CEO of 365 Retail Markets, noted that the partnership expands the tools available to operators by linking e-commerce with vending management. Operators can manage online orders, increase OCS sales, and optimize inventory directly within the 365 ecosystem.
For operators, benefits lie in efficiency and sales growth. The companies emphasized that the integration allows OCS orders to be handled alongside vending operations, providing operators with a unified view of their business while opening more opportunities for OCS revenue.
Both companies noted that the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to innovation and to helping operators adapt to changing demands in retail and workplace services.
