The number one change machine producer in Italy – VNE – secured a strong presence at the ENADA that took place in Rome between 15th and 17th October. Once again the stand was very busy. Despite a smaller exhibition compared in previous years, the operators came in large numbers to come and see VNE.
VNE offers the most complete product range of change machines for the market. The team took the opportunity at the ENADA to introduce a brand new change machine – the SMART CHANGE. VNE understands the change machine market extremely well and designs its products according to customer needs. Thus, the Smart Change is targeted for operators that have a daily machine coin-in of between 500 and 800 euros. The Smart Change recycles both notes into coins and coins into notes. It can recycle up to 60 banknotes – 30 of two different denominations. Furthermore, the small, very slim dimensions of the Smart Change enable it to be placed practically anywhere in a bar (or arcade).
Just as all VNE change machines, the Smart Change can be completely managed online. Operators have two options – either via computer using the VNE website www.vneremote.com or by making use of the especially developed VNE app – VNE MOBILE – for both Android and iOS devices. All information is stored and encrypted on the VNE server – so is completely safe. The information can only be accessed by the approved user (as both registration and password are required and access must be requested each time anew). The operator has all necessary information then at his or her fingertips, including change machine accounting, change machine configuration and change machine status. Furthermore, users can set different access levels so that each employee can only access that what he or she should (technical, service, etc) amongst many more features.
Mr. Lorenzo Verona, commercial director at VNE, was very pleased with the ENADA Rome, stating, “It is the smartest move for operators to make use of VNE. This was the message of the show for us personally. Our position as number one in Italy for change machines, the biggest change machine market in the world, was further cemented. We are going to lever this and branch out into global sales. We have so many benefits compared to traditional, conventional change machines. Our next step is to exhibit at the BEGE gaming show in Bulgaria, only a week after the ENADA”.
