Summarize with

Cantaloupe, a 365 Retail Markets company, has signed a services agreement with Weweimi (Shenzhen) Technology Co. Ltd. to integrate and certify Weweimi's AI-enabled Smart Cooler technology for Cantaloupe's Seed Pro and Seed Markets software platforms, according to a press release. The integration is intended to allow convenience services operators to add smart coolers while continuing to manage their businesses through Cantaloupe's existing vending and market management systems.

SenseBox LLC, Weweimi's North American technology and commercialization operation, supports deployment of the Smart Cooler technology in the region. Automated Services International Inc. is the exclusive North American distributor of the SenseBox equipment, which it markets under the BRITE by ASI brand. ASI President Joe Loparco said the integration should be particularly important for independent operators that already use Cantaloupe's vending management technology and want to avoid operating multiple management systems.

The companies said combining the Smart Cooler technology with Seed Pro and Seed Markets could give operators greater product visibility and operational efficiency while creating additional unattended retail opportunities. Jeff Dumbrell, chief revenue officer at 365 Retail Markets, said the agreement is designed to give operators access to new technology without forcing them to abandon established workflows or software platforms.

Cantaloupe became part of 365 Retail Markets following its acquisition in May 2026. The combined businesses serve more than 40,000 customers across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and Mexico. Cantaloupe provides payment processing, connected point-of-sale technology and cloud-based software for vending, micro markets and other self-service environments, processing more than 1 billion transactions annually.
