alexG Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hello, I am always looking at ways to improve the business. I would love to integrate an online/ cloud system with real live data of my machine. If not live, i would like to be able to download all the dex data by bluetooth or wifi when at the machine. I saw the cantaloup system which according to the website is an all integrated software and hardware for the vending machine. Has anybody tried it? how good is it? what is the monthly cost on top of the hardware? does it work with wifi or just celular data? Any info would be great.

arkhusker Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Skip Cantaloupe and call Parlevel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southeast Treats Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Everything I have ever researched with Cantaloupe is that they are geared to very large operators. ParLevel is great on working with operators of our size, I have been on their system about 2 years now and love it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bvending Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 A very large company in our town used it a few years back. They ending up scraping it pretty soon into it. Not sure the specifics. but i think they ended up with vendsys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkhusker Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Ask Cantaloupe if they build any custom features, i.e. things you want that in a vms that might be specific to your business. Then call Parlevel and ask. I've been implemented with them for about 2.5 years and it's one of the best business decisions I've ever made.

alexG Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 thanks for the feedback. Seems parlevel is the way to go! i am going to check them out. i am currently on Vendsoft. It would require changing the entire VMS not just adding hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHX1 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I've only heard negative things about cantaloupe. Don't walk, RUN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
