Vagabond offers mobile cashless along with swipe card readers

July 29, 2020

Vagabond, a software provider to the vending industry, has successfully deployed dual-cashless, allowing operators to simultaneously offer vīv mobile cashless and traditional swipe card readers, according to a press release. This innovation is available on all machines with control boards that offer dual-cashless capabilities.

Operators can now add vīv #TrulyTouchless capabilities onto any compatible vending machine alongside their traditional swipe reader and deliver data to any vending management software, including Vagabond, VendSys, Parlevel, Cantaloupe or Streamware. This enables operators to allow consumers to choose how they pay for products and, as more users utilize vīv, begin engaging directly with consumers through the vīv consumer marketing engine.

Operators can now satisfy demand from accounts for touchless payment options without having to remove the credit card reader. With vīv, operators can run their business on live data, price to the penny, change prices remotely, dynamically schedule price reductions to drive sales during slow times, sponsor high-margin, high-rebate products to the top of the menu regardless of where they are placed physically in the machine, and directly invite consumers to return to use the machine or kiosk-less market.
