Cromer Food Services was recently named runner-up of the 2013 Wireless Technology Innovation Awards, a competition for small and mid-sized businesses sponsored by Verizon Wireless, and awarded a $5,000 prize.
The Anderson-based company has serviced vending machines in South Carolina and Georgia for 32 years. The company recently began to install a card swipe on existing vending machines to serve customers who only carry cards in their wallets.
In addition, Cromer’s field employees are equipped with handheld computers to help manage inventory and so that delivery vehicles carry only the supplies they need to restock machines.
