VendPro to Support Debit, Credit and Mobile
Payment Transactions on 1,800 Machines; Implements USAT’s Go
Cashless Program
USA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:USAT), a premier payment
technology service provider of integrated cashless and mobile
transactions in the self-service retail market, today announced it
has added VendPro Refreshment Services to its growing list of
customers transitioning to cashless payment technology on over 50
percent of their machines.
USAT is currently working to connect 1,800 of VendPro’s vending,
coffee and micro-market machines to USAT’s next-generation,
interactive content delivery and payments platform, ePort®
Interactive, marking USAT’s largest order to date since the
acquisition of VendScreen earlier this year. VendPro will now have
access to USAT’s most advanced cloud-based interactive media and
content delivery management system, enabling the delivery of
nutritional information, issuance of remote refunds, and initiation
of multimedia-marketing campaigns, among other consumer engaging
features. The deployment will allow VendPro to track the acceptance
of cash, credit or debit cards, and mobile payments using
Android Pay and Apple Pay.
A trusted name in vending machines and breakroom refreshments
services, VendPro’s reputation for customer service has fueled the
company’s growth, operating 25 full-service vending routes,
servicing more than 3,000 vending, coffee and micro-market
machines.
“With a reputation for quality and outstanding customer service,
we are always doing our best to listen to the needs of the
customers we serve,” said Ken Jenkins, VendPro Refreshment
Services. “Even though we’ve had success with cash-only payments
for a long time, it’s hard to ignore the retail industry’s momentum
toward cashless and mobile payments, particularly when our
customers are asking for it. We are thrilled to be working with USA
Technologies to not only implement contactless payment options on
our machines, but to also have the ability to provide consumers
with nutritional information, coupons and access to additional
engagement opportunities. The added layer of the Go Cashless
program will give us the support we need through the deployment
with marketing services and training for our team. We have every
confidence that this investment is going to pay for itself in no
time.”
VendPro has also signed up for USAT's Go Cashless program, an
educational, point-of-sale marketing program designed to help
operators effectively roll out cashless transaction technology and
accelerate consumer adoption.
“Supporting a large-scale deployment with exceptional operators
like VendPro is inspiring,” said Jim Turner, vice president of
Deployment Services, USA Technologies. “The company puts the needs
of its customers first, and by making the transition to cashless,
it’s moving the business towards the future. As more and more of
the leading regional operators like VendPro get on board, we
believe it’s only a matter of time before others in the industry
realize they will need to transition to cashless payments in order
to compete.”
