This acquisition, effective May 22, 2024, marks a significant expansion for 365 Retail Markets, enhancing its capabilities and extending its reach into new sectors with high-traffic common areas.

Integrating Strengths for Enhanced Consumer Experiences

Impulsify, founded in 2013 by Janine Williams, has established a robust presence across various prestigious hotel chains and boutique properties. Known for its easy-to-manage self-service retail outlets, Impulsify enhances property and guest experiences while providing additional revenue streams. This acquisition aligns seamlessly with 365 Retail Markets’ growth strategy, aiming to integrate and leverage Impulsify’s technology to boost its presence in the hospitality sector and beyond.

“Joining forces with Impulsify allows us to enhance our technology offerings and meet the evolving needs of our customers in the hospitality industry,” stated Joe Hessling, Founder & CEO of 365 Retail Markets. “This venture is not just about growth; it’s about improving the convenience and quality of self-service retail experiences everywhere,” he added.

Expanding Market Reach and Technological Capabilities

365 Retail Markets, established in 2008, provides a comprehensive suite of self-service technologies, including SaaS software, payment processing, and point-of-sale hardware tailored for various settings such as corporate offices, educational campuses, and manufacturing facilities.

The synergy between the two companies aims to break down barriers in the hospitality sector by offering more advanced and consumer-friendly solutions compared to traditional vending options. These enhanced capabilities are designed to attract new prospects and provide existing customers with more robust and technologically advanced options.
