“With Seed, we now have the best overall back-end solution with
the ability to leverage telemetry to manage planograms, pricing,
scheduling of trucks, inventories and more,” said Ken Sullivan, CEO
of InReach. “No one else could match the capability of Cantaloupe’s
Seed platform from a back-end standpoint. It helps us enable
seamless digital payments for our customers and run efficient
operations across all of our 18 branches. Seed has become part of
the foundation we are using to build out what we expect to be a
significant player within the industry — it makes acquiring and
onboarding new business faster, easier and more streamlined, which
also helps us reach our aggressive growth targets.”
Cantaloupe offers a best-in-class vending management system
which supports independent and enterprise operators as they grow.
The Seed platform used by Sodexo’s InReach connects self-service
operators with critical insights that help streamline routes,
optimize planograms and proactively monitor machine health.
Pairing this functionality with cashless telemetry from
Cantaloupe’s ePort card readers, Seed provides insights in
real-time, allowing operators to increase their operational
efficiency and maximize revenue at each location.
“When Sodexo acquired Frontline Food Service (aka Accent Food
Service) earlier this year, Sodexo saw first-hand how the Seed
platform, which Accent/Frontline was already using, helped its
business achieve success,” noted Jeff Dumbrell, CRO of Cantaloupe.
“One of the unique advantages of Seed is that it enables customers
to automate daily business decisions and gain complete transparency
across their entire business – enabling them to scale. The fact
that Frontline had used Seed to grow into a national operator was
attractive to Sodexo.”
One of InReach’s growth strategies focuses on the acceleration
of micro markets and office pantry services across their locations.
InReach leverages Seed Markets in 1,200 micro markets, and Seed
Delivery for managing office coffee services throughout its 18
branches. By bringing all of InReach’s business onto Seed, Sodexo
has a complete view of their entire operation and overall
profitability across the various business units, which is critical
in scaling their day-to-day business for the future.
“Customers like InReach appreciate the ease of implementing Seed
through our Seed Sync API, which they use to connect third-party
vending systems into Seed for quick access to optimization tools
and visibility into overall business performance,” says Jeff
Dumbrell. “We know that no other system out there can do what Seed
does: get the right product to the right customer at the right time
and at the right place, and with the right data. Data analytics are
key for Sodexo and for all our customers. We look forward to
continued collaboration and innovation with Sodexo’s InReach team
to improve our products and services not only for them, but for all
our customers.”
