ROSH PINA, ISRAEL — (Marketwired) — 04/27/16 — (NASDAQ: OTIV), a global provider of near field communication (NFC) and cashless payment systems, has appointed as its exclusive distributor of NFC readers and payment solutions to the Romanian vending market.

Founded in 2013, Romania Gripen Environmental is a distributor of snack and beverage vending machines in Romania. The company has quickly established a significant installed base of machines in Romania–s capital of Bucharest and its second largest city of Iasi.

Romania Gripen Environmental will market and sell oti–s telemetry solution, , which includes its SATURN 6500 TRIO NFC-based cashless reader and controller. The all-in-one solution will enable real-time communication between vending machines, allowing Romania Gripen–s customers to remotely manage a single machine or an entire fleet. Romania Gripen Environmental plans to go-to-market with the solution immediately.

Eran Bar, oti regional sales manager for Europe, Middle East, Africa (EMEA), commented: “This new partnership marks oti–s entrance into the rapidly growing Romanian vending market. Today, the market is characterized by a large installed base of machines, which to a large extent still only accepts coins and bills. Given Romania Gripen–s expanding distribution channels and customer base, we believe oti has a significant opportunity to be the leading NFC technology provider in Romania, helping vending operators transition to a full cashless payment solution.”
