USA Technologies (USAT), a wireless, cashless payment and M2M telemetry solutions provider, has entered into three year agreements with three vending companies - City Vending, Fresh Brew Group and American Food and Vending.
As part of the agreements, the three vending companies will use USAT's comprehensive ePort Connect service for three years.
USAT sales and business development senior vice president Michael Lawlor said: "We believe these exclusive agreements represent not only our customers' confidence in USAT for cashless payment, telemetry and consumer engagement services, but our customers' recognition that their cashless offering is becoming a valuable business tool that requires their immediate attention."
City Vending chief financial officer Tom Elich said: "I am fully aware that cashless is the future and by working with USAT, I know that I am working with a partner that has proven to be reliable, responsive and ahead of the game in terms of additional offerings such as loyalty that I can sell to my own customers."
American Food and Vending purchasing manager Maria Foresteire said: "USAT has worked with us to understand our data and optimize our initial deployments of cashless and this agreement strengthens that relationship as we continue to transition our installed base to cashless."
Fresh Brew Group chief operating officer Steven Weyel said: "USAT has showed us how cashless has been successful for us and that success, coupled with increasing demand for cashless from our customers, called for a industry-leading partner like USAT as we move forward."
