"Cory has established himself as a leader and visionary in this space, evangelizing the industry to outsiders at every opportunity and promoting the value of quality technology (whether Gimme's or not) to operators at large," said Evan Jarecki, Co-Founder and CCO of Gimme. "He believes success for our industry depends on operators and technology providers working together more than ever before and has established relationships with contemporaries at other companies with the goal of building and innovating new products to meet the current and future needs of our mutual customers. It's great to see him being rewarded for his efforts."

As a company that is leading initiatives to help transform and revolutionize what has been a very traditional industry, this award accentuates Gimme's dedication to provding vending operators with better cash and inventory accountability, and machine state data.



"Colleen has literally spent hundreds of hours in the field learning the ins-and-outs of the industry this year," added Jarecki. "Her focus has solely been on data analysis, helping Gimme create new technology that will help operators maximize their businesses with their core data points and technology initiatives. With this knowledge, she has fostered convenient new ways of retrieving the 'right' data needed and creating tools to keep up with the trends to help operators to know what to sell, where to sell it, with the ability to project what to do next."
