Essentially Organic is a Cleveland, Ohio-based operator that
provides refreshment services including vending, office coffee and
micro markets at multiple locations. Founded in 2010, Essentially
Organic originally made the switch to cashless payment acceptance
with Cantaloupe's ePort card readers and Seed Live platform more
than ten years ago. Now, Essentially Organic is transitioning its
entire operation onto the Cantaloupe Seed platform with the
adoption of Seed Pro, Seed Office, Seed Markets and Seed
Delivery.
Seed offers all the necessary features for growing operators to
optimize every aspect of their business by managing their vending,
micro market, and OCS accounts on a single platform. Seed 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 card readers, Seed provides insights in real-time,
allowing operators to increase their operational efficiency and
maximize revenue at each location.
“The move to Seed has streamlined our overall process,” noted
John Gentile, owner of Essentially Organic. “We’ve seen the
immediate benefit of the platform across the whole business. We’re
no longer scheduling drivers on a set route on specific days.
Instead, Seed already knows what locations need service and when,
so we can create dynamic schedules for our drivers — which has
allowed us to reduce the number of routes we’re running from five
down to about three.”
Gentile noted that the use of Seed Pro provides machine and
market-level visibility, which helps the Essentially Organic team
manage inventory and refills much more easily. According to
Gentile, “We can now create pre-pick plans and forecast depletion
limits based on average sales volume. The Seed algorithm has really
reduced bring backs. Before, we were bringing back between six to
eight bins of product due to incorrect forecasting. Now it’s down
to less than two bins daily.”
Gentile also emphasized how easy the Seed onboarding process has
been. Cantaloupe offers operators on-site, dedicated training to
help them get up and running on the Seed platform in just one week,
with ongoing remote support from its customer success team. For
Gentile, the easy-to-use Seed interface and Cantaloupe’s hands-on
training have made the transition seamless.
"Seed is the industry-leading vertical specific enterprise
software for operators of self-service commerce businesses,
including vending and micro markets, and is a great solution for
not only enterprise level operators, but also for mid-market
operators who are scaling their business and want to use technology
to automate daily decisions," said Jeff Dumbrell, CRO of
Cantaloupe, Inc. "We are thrilled to be working with Essentially
Organic on a larger scale and look forward to supporting them into
the future with the additional tools and functionality they need as
they continue to grow."
