MALVERN, PA — Cantaloupe, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTLP), a leading provider of innovative technology solutions, has successfully completed a major technological upgrade for Pee Dee Food Service, an affiliate of Pepsi of Florence. The comprehensive swap involves replacing 90 micro market kiosks with state-of-the-art Cantaloupe technology, marking a pivotal moment in the partnership between the two companies.
Pee Dee Food Service, known for its full-line vending, micro-market, and office coffee service offerings across South Carolina, has embraced Cantaloupe’s Seed™ vending management system for the past four years. The recent decision to fully transition to Cantaloupe’s platform reflects a broader industry trend towards integrated and advanced technological solutions.
Jeff Dumbrell, Chief Revenue Officer at Cantaloupe, highlighted the significance of this upgrade, stating, “Operators are increasingly seeking single providers that can offer comprehensive hardware and software solutions. Pee Dee Food Service’s upgrade to our Cantaloupe Go line of kiosks is a testament to the demand for innovative technology, superior service, and competitive pricing in the convenience sector.”
This strategic move by Pee Dee Food Service was motivated by several factors, including the desire to avoid excessive fees and the need for a technological overhaul—a need Cantaloupe readily fulfilled. James Drost, Sales Manager of Pee Dee Food Service, praised Cantaloupe’s transparent pricing model and their commitment to providing upgrades without additional charges. “The seamless integration of services into one operating system offers us unmatched visibility into our sales data, greatly simplifying operations and enhancing customer service,” Drost added.
Cantaloupe’s acquisition of Three Square Market in December 2022 has further solidified its position as the preferred choice for operators looking for comprehensive hardware and software solutions, particularly in the micro market sector. This move underscores Cantaloupe’s commitment to innovation and customer support throughout the transition process.
For industry watchers, Cantaloupe’s growing influence in the convenience service sector illustrates the critical role of technology in transforming how services are delivered. As businesses like Pee Dee Food Service look to streamline operations and improve customer experience, partners like Cantaloupe are proving indispensable. The company’s investment in the micro market category and its focus on simplifying the upgrade process for customers underscore a significant trend: the future of the convenience service industry lies in technology-driven solutions that provide ease, efficiency, and enhanced service delivery.
As Cantaloupe continues to push the envelope of innovation in the convenience sector, its role in shaping the future of vending and micro market services becomes increasingly evident. This partnership with Pee Dee Food Service not only demonstrates Cantaloupe’s ability to meet the evolving needs of the industry but also sets a new standard for operational excellence and customer satisfaction in the rapidly changing landscape of convenience services.
