Problems solved by technology

Known merchandising systems may display products to a consumer by providing the products in inefficient configurations.
However, products and product containers come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and some products may be more difficult to merchandise (e.g., present for potential retail sale) than others.
Within fixed or limited spaces, known merchandising systems may not be configured to optimize the presentation of such products to a consumer.
Such known merchandising systems also do not always provide convenient ways for dispensing products, especially those with unique or irregular shapes.
