Tea has become one of the go-to beverages in day-to-day lives and today it is the second largest consumed beverage across the world after Water! With this ever-expanding love for Tea, people are now searching for better quality, better taste, new flavors, and an emotional connection with the brand to which they are loyal. The price sensitivity to purchase ratio is no longer what it was in the 1990s. In comparison to previous years, the Indian consumer today looks at many other aspects apart from the price while making the decision to purchase, with quality being one of the foremost. As a result, only those companies who maintain quality with consistency can be considered Sustainable leaders.
In addition to being true to quality, there are several other challenges that organizations are now required to be able to navigate successfully if they wish to reach the top. These are challenges of strong distribution, making the product available across multiple platforms and most importantly the challenge of making consistent, repeat SALES. Control over Supply-Chain is therefore, key to Success. This is precisely what Cherise has achieved through its sizeable investments in Smart Vending Technology. The TAPRI vending machines are designed and manufactured by Cherise.
The company has invested significant amounts of resources in creating its own proprietary IoT platform, its own chipset, and hardware designs using advanced mechatronics which today run their Smart Vending Eco-System. The Cherise TAPRI smart vending machines are IoT & Android-based, completely contact-less, fully synced with all the leading fin-tech wallets of India, and provide a host of features like RFID, and NFC card usage, and can dispense upto 3,500 cups of Teas, Coffees, Milk, Soups in a day.
A unique aspect of Cherise is the fact that they manufacture both the Smart Vending Machines as well as the Teas, Coffees, Milk, Soups, everything under their own Brands! This ensures complete control of the entire supply chain right from Farms all the way to the Consumers’ cups.
