ZAR WELLNESS ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF ZAR BOX, A STORE-WITHIN-A-STORE FOR CBD, CANNABIS SALES

CHAPCO partners with Fastcorp Vending, ID Scan, Thru Solutions, and Verde Payments to deliver the new ZAR Wellness ZAR BOX by Fastcorp

The Texas-based retailer will dispense hemp-derived products from automated vending machines. CARROLLTON, TEXAS, UNITED STATES, November 14, 2023 — ZAR Wellness is pleased to announce the availability of the ZAR BOX by Fastcorp automated dispensary solution, the first cannabis dispensing machine to be deployed with instant (real-time) AI facial recognition technology. The ZAR BOX combines age verification via liveness authentication, consumable hemp licensed ailment and modality-driven products, and compliant cannabis payment processing with convenient product dispensing. The ZAR BOX, simply put, creates a sleek, safe, and secure dispensary-in-a-box.

Cabinets by Chapco

Chapco is pleased to be able to supply the DIVI’s steel cabinets that form the basis of the ZAR BOX by Fastcorp. Chapco has worked closely over the years to finesse the DIVI cabinets, and Chapco’s in-house Engineering Design team was integral to producing the new “DIVI Regulated®”. “Being co-located with Chapco’s design team has enabled Fastcorp and their partners at ID Scan, Verde Payments, and Thru Solutions to deliver this state-of-the-art automated retail solution to ZAR Wellness,” said Colleen Morris, VP of Sales at Fastcorp Vending. “The close relationship between designers, suppliers, and our excellent partners at ZAR, ID Scan, Verde Pay, and Thru Solutions has resulted in a product that enables real-time age verification and identity authentication without needing to download apps or implement a waiting period. That is a game-changer for Cannabis Dispensaries.”

CHAPCO’s SHEET METAL CAPABILITIES

The ZAR BOX is just one more example of the breadth of Chapco’s sheet metal capabilities. The recent introduction of a new Trumpf 6000 fiber laser-punch combo has increased Chapco’s capacity to take on large, high tolerance, highly repetitive metal parts manufacture, as well as maintain the highly skilled fabrication and contract manufacturing work that goes into making short-run, specialized cabinetry such as that supplied to Fastcorp Vending.instant
