In iVend Retail, Ernest Chemists discovered an adaptable, user-friendly solution with excellent after-sales support

The decision to join iVend was not simple, but working with the CitiXSys team has been a fantastic experience. They truly exemplify customer support and after-sales assistance. The retail sales and customer experience have improved dramatically after joining iVend. Customer turnaround and satisfaction both increased significantly.
