Nayax Ltd., a global commerce enablement, payments, and loyalty platform, today launched new product discovery and personalization capabilities for retailers, powered by a proprietary AI engine Nayax acquired and developed in-house. Natively integrated into the Nayax platform, the solution enables merchants to grow revenue and deepen consumer engagement through real-time data and intelligent recommendations.

“We’re at an inflection point in retail. Shoppers don’t think in channels; they just shop. Yet for years, the technology behind retail has been built in silos, forcing retailers to stitch together fragmented tools that never quite tell the full story,” said Yael Kochman, General Manager at Nayax in today’s press release. “What we’re launching today changes that. By bringing our proprietary AI for discovery and personalization together with payments in one platform, we’re giving retailers something they’ve never had before: a complete, intelligent view of their customers, and the tools to act on it in real time, whether the shopper is browsing online or walking through a store. That’s what makes this moment so exciting. And we’re just getting started.”

Nayax’s proprietary AI engine leverages advanced machine learning to deeply understand a brand’s catalog, automatically enriching every product with granular tags and attributes. These insights power personalized discovery touchpoints throughout the customer journey, helping shoppers get inspired, explore relevant products, and convert faster.

Retailers can now deliver a unified, intelligent, and personalized shopping experience across online and in-store channels Nayax Ltd., a global commerce enablement, payments, and loyalty platform, today launched new product discovery and personalization capabilities for retailers, powered by a propr...

Every so often, you meet an operator whose path into vending reflects a larger shift happening in the workforce. Matt Morrison, founder of Vend Colorado, didn’t grow up in the vending industry. He spent more than a decade in software sales before deciding to build something of his own. What makes his story particularly interesting is when it began.

Matt launched Vend Colorado while on paternity leave after the birth of his second child in 2024. At a time when many professionals were watching layoffs ripple through the tech sector, he was looking for a business that offered stability, recurring revenue, and something increasingly valuable: control.

Just two years later, he’s building a growing unattended retail operation throughout the Denver market, focused on smart coolers, apartment communities, and technology-driven convenience.

VendFinder is launching a new discovery platform designed to help people find publicly accessible vending machines near them. The platform focuses on convenience, local visibility, and real-world discovery by making it easier for users to locate vending machines, view available details, and navigate to nearby machines.

NESCAFÉ®, the world's largest coffee brand, is kicking off the summer of soccer with "The NESCAFÉ® Third Half," a new U.S. and Mexico campaign rooted in one universal truth: The conversation doesn't end at the final whistle — it lives on over a cup of NESCAFÉ.
