Cantaloupe Inc., a digital payments and software services company that provides end-to-end technology solutions for the unattended retail market, has announced three additional technology innovations since its previously announced offerings last week. New innovations, according to a recent press release, include:

• Hivery Enhance integration brings a user-friendly artificial intelligence and machine-learning-based technology solution to Cantaloupe Seed customers. Available for purchase now, Hivery's integration with Cantaloupe's Seed platform, specifically Seed Pro and Seed Office, delivers new product recommendations and targeted space-to-sales optimization, with proprietary algorithms that enable customers to boost top-line revenue and improve operational efficiencies.
• Next Generation Yoke Platform and Yoke POS+ enables both cashless and cash acceptance. The upgraded Yoke Platform features the newly unveiled software version, which includes an enhanced consumer interface, customized promotions and loyalty programs, as well as unique Yoke Pay mobile app engagement features. The Yoke POS+ is expected to be available to customers in early summer.
• In partnership with Vendekin, Cantaloupe's new touchless vending experience is now available through a mobile experience. Consumers will be able to scan a machine's unique QR code, select items from a menu of all the offerings in the machine and pay for their selection, all from their smart phone or via card reader. The functionality utilizes a mobile browser app and a monthly fee, plus a one-time device purchase is required.
