T-ROC Global has launched Automated Retail Solutions, a turnkey platform integrating vending, self-service kiosks, and intelligent automation to deliver products and services to consumers anytime and anywhere. This development represents a substantial evolution in frictionless retail, combining physical product delivery with advanced automation technologies and nationwide operational support.
The importance of this announcement lies in its potential to fundamentally alter consumer access to products and services. As retail continues to evolve beyond traditional storefronts, T-ROC Global's solution addresses growing consumer demand for immediate, convenient access. The platform enables brands to reach customers in non-traditional locations and hours, potentially expanding market reach and creating new revenue streams while meeting modern expectations for speed and convenience.
Led by industry veteran Ben Wheeler, Director of Business Development for Automated Retail, the service leverages decades of automation and retail operations expertise. Wheeler, a 25-year veteran and member of the Kiosk Hall of Fame, has built infrastructure supporting large-scale deployment including a nationwide replenishment network of over 2,000 field staff and 34 warehouses across the U.S. for coast-to-coast coverage.
"We are changing the industry by offering a truly turnkey operator solution, built on the foundation of having every piece in place anytime, anywhere," said Wheeler. The model emphasizes total ownership of the solution, with retailers providing only the product while T-ROC Global handles deployment, operation, maintenance, break/fix support, and other operational aspects.
The implications for the retail industry are significant. Unlike traditional kiosk vendors, this complete service model could lower barriers to entry for brands seeking automated retail presence. By removing operational complexities, more companies might explore automated retail as a viable channel. For consumers, this could mean increased access to products in airports, transit stations, workplaces, and other non-traditional retail spaces operating 24/7.
"Whether it's a kiosk, a smart vending machine, or a hybrid solution, our goal is to work directly with brands and retailers to build a program tailored to what they want to accomplish," added Brett Beveridge, CEO and Founder of T-ROC Global. The company positions itself as a deployer, operator, and long-term partner rather than just a technology provider.
As the platform rolls out nationwide, T-ROC Global is already working with major brand names, indicating industry acceptance of this model. The company's existing infrastructure and expertise in retail operations provide a foundation for scalable deployment that could accelerate adoption across multiple sectors.

The broader impact extends to retail employment models, supply chain logistics, and urban planning as automated retail solutions become more prevalent. This development reflects ongoing digital transformation in retail, where technology increasingly bridges the gap between online convenience and physical product access. As consumer expectations continue shifting toward immediate gratification and seamless experiences, solutions like T-ROC Global's Automated Retail Solutions may become increasingly important components of retail ecosystems.
