VENDMANAGER DATAKEY: SIMPLER, BETTER, FASTER.


Since launching in September 2017, Vendmanager Datakey from SB Software has gone from strength to strength. Thoroughly proven in the field to allow operators to fill more machines per day, whilst improving accuracy and security, Datakey delivers fast return on investment.


That’s why: - our existing customers have been upgrading to Datakey - they only need one per operator, so it’s low cost per machine


- new clients have been rolling Datakey out across their estate from day one - why not? - some have cited Datakey as reason enough on its own to sign with us - “it’s a game-changer”. www.sbsoft.co.uk
