Broderick, a Manchester, U.K.-based operator of more than 1,000 vending machines across the U.K., has signed a three-year contract with Worldline, a provider of payment services, to support its transformation from cash to card payment solutions, according to a press release.

To deliver the solution, Worldline partnered with PMTsolutions AG, the turnkey solution specialist for open and closed loop cashless services and integrated its VendingPay platform to provide electronic payment services for contactless credit and debit cards, both physical and virtual. Card readers have been reduced in size to be more easily integrated on vending machines and behind glass.

The connection from the card reader to VendingPay host is managed by Nebular, the vending management platform from Coges. The Nebular portal permits an integrated control of all sales transactions in real time as well as vending management services.
