Our Story

Our Story

In the words of founder/CEO, “I saw a need in the industry for better customer service. People had questions, [that] I had found the answers to (through my own trial and errors) as well as questions I had not yet encountered. I was eager to learn and share. I wanted them to know, “We’ve been there. We get it. We care.” I knew that if I helped other businesses get bigger and better, I would as well.”

  • Fully responsive design

Optimal Station saw the need for customization in the automatic retail world. Having come from both manufacturer and operator worlds, we heard the same issues and complaints repeatedly. Owners were trying (often unsuccessfully) to piece together the necessary components to create functional, efficient, and profitable automated retail systems. We saw companies go out of business unnecessarily when they couldn’t put all the pieces together effectively. So we decided to create a company where we would bring quality hardware and software together to give our clients the best of everything, always paying attention to every detail. We knew that it was imperative to constantly be innovative so we could consistently offer our clients the latest and greatest.
