JuLi Connect, a new compact countertop beverage dispenser from SmartSoda, lets customers customize sparkling- or still-flavored alkaline water, craft soda, diet soda or tea by setting carbonation levels, all-natural flavor combinations and functional nutrition boosts.

“All SmartSoda offerings are based on the proven health benefits of alkaline water,” said Lior Shafir, CEO of wellness technology brand SmartSoda, Beachwood, Ohio. “JuLi Connect delivers a great innovative alternative solution to traditional soda for offices, convenience stores and restaurants.”

Customers can customize drink choices from a portfolio of more than 20 all-natural flavors and a range of functional wellness shots that support energy, immunity, relaxation and focus, Shafir said.

Tech-enabled management tools support installation, maintenance and servicing support— “all from a smartphone app supported by a full dashboard and connectivity,” he said.

“Every SmartSoda beverage starts with vitamin-infused alkaline water and allows users to mix up to three flavors or enhancements per single beverage,” the company said.

Julia Solooki, SmartSoda co-founder and chairman, said, “The real benefit of our JuLi Connect system is that it not only offers a healthy and delicious alternative to traditional sodas, but it can also represent a real cost-savings for our commercial customers.”

The dispenser is more affordable and environmentally friendly than stocking bottled and canned beverages, Solooki said. “In fact, the JuLi Connect contributes to our corporate goal of reducing the use of 2.3 billion plastic bottles by 2027,” she said.
