ROUTD plans to expand its smart vending solutions to other sectors including healthcare, construction, and transportation. By leveraging ROUTD’s technology ROUTD will help create safer, more efficient working environments across multiple sectors.

Global demand for PPE has surged, however traditional supply chains struggled to keep pace, highlighting a critical need for smarter, more efficient distribution and stock management methods. ROUTD’s entry into the smart vending market is a direct response to this need, offering a seamless and automated solution for PPE procurement.
