About The Company
Livello is a B2B IoT technology company and pioneer in unattended autonomous retail. Since 2016 we have been developing Smart Kiosks – smart fridges, freezers and micro-stores – that automatically detect, track, manage and sell products. Our patented smart shelving, optional computer vision, EMV payment, access control and Mission Control cloud platform form a plug-and-play system for 24/7 micro-markets. Operators monitor inventory, temperature and transactions in real time, optimize routing and planograms and automate replenishment – all made in Germany. Livello’s white-label solution enables caterers, vending operators, retailers, hotels, hospitals and universities to run their own unattended retail experience anywhere, at a fraction of the cost of traditional stores or canteens while reducing food waste and energy consumption. Herzstück ist unser Smart-Kiosk-System aus patentierten Sensoren, EMV-fähigem Payment, Zugangskontrolle und der Livello Mission Control Cloud. Betreiber überwachen Bestände, Temperaturen und Transaktionen in Echtzeit, optimieren Touren und Planogramme und automatisieren Nachbestellungen – alles „Made in Germany“. Unsere Lösungen werden als White-Label von Caterern, Vending-Operatoren, Retailern, Hotels, Kliniken, Universitäten und anderen Dienstleistern eingesetzt, um 24/7 Micro-Markets und Mini-Kantinen zu betreiben – mit deutlich geringeren Personal- und Betriebskosten als klassische Stores oder Kantinen und nachweislich weniger Food Waste.
