In cooperation with its partner AVEM, Worldline, a global leader in payments services, successfully implemented an updated ATM fleet roll-out for Groupe Les Mousquetaires (GLM), a key European player in the mass distribution market.
„The implementation involved the migration of more than 700 ATMs as part of a one-year project.” – according to the press release.
„In partnership with AVEM, which handles the maintenance support of the ATM fleet, Worldline completed deployment and implementation in an exceptionally short time-to-market.
