"Customers are looking to make purchases via any of a growing number of channels," said Apex CEO Kent Savage. "This secure method of cashless shopping is the next generation for retailers as they transform their business models to respond to customers' demands."

The AnyWhere series of automated locker systems can accommodate a wide variety of products with customizable configurations. AnyWhere lockers are an easy, affordable way for retailers to provide automated remote indoor or outdoor order pickup 24/7.

EMIS cashless shopping soluions offer secure and reliable shopping for single and multiple items from small to large, fragile or heavy. The possibilities are endless-from sporting goods and fashion accessories, to baby formula and diapers, to electronics gear, auto parts and school supplies.

Both systems are compatible with cashless card and mobile payment options that increase sales and profitability while lowering operating costs. Apex devices can be customized with company logos and colors to increase retailers' brand presence.

Apex's Internet-based shopping solutions enable a variety of real-time retail transactions. For example, a retailer may have interest in expanding its reach - making desirable products available to its customers 24/7 at busy sites away from traditional malls or shopping locations such as home improvement centers, colleges and universities, transit platforms or anywhere customers desire easy access to their products. Customers can buy items on the spot, or place online, mobile or call-in orders for remote 24-hour pickup. Customers buying through online, mobile or call-in channels receive a code via text or email allowing them to pick up their purchased item. These real-time Cloud-based solutions provide retailers with a flexible, adaptive and scalable response to changing consumer expectations and buying patterns.

The Apex AnyWhere and EMIS Cashless Shopping solutions are on display this week in booth 825 at the National Retail Federation's annual Convention and Expo in New York City.
