USA Technologies Inc.'s planned acquisition of Cantaloupe Systems Inc. for $85 million marks the creation of one of the nation's most powerful vending technology companies, merging the capabilities of two well established vending technology providers.
Vending operators interviewed by Vending Technology News generally agreed that the companies' collective technologies could potentially deliver better consumer experiences and allow for decreased operational costs, benefits that USA Technologies cited in announcing the purchase agreement.
Stephen Herbert, chairman and CEO of USA Technologies, told Vending Technology News the two companies would officially become one and that the company will work to streamline its customers' experiences and find greater efficiencies through the combined team.
Some operators hope that manufacturing efficiencies borne of the acquisition will result in more favorable pricing of Cantaloupe cashless products.
Some, however, are concerned about how new ownership could impact Cantaloupe's customer service.
