Cantaloupe Inc., a digital payments and software services company that provides end-to-end technology solutions for self-service commerce, has teamed with Amazon Web Services Inc. to use the AWS cloud services and AWS as its preferred provider to handle its more than $2 billion in annual transactions in the micro-payments space, according to a press release.

"The move to AWS has given us the flexibility to configure and manage our own platform without the requirement of someone to prepare hardware for us," Gaurav Singal, chief technology officer of Cantaloupe, said in the press release "Having AWS as the backbone of our service delivery gives us high elasticity and scalability within the cloud, anywhere in the world. With AWS, we are better positioned to expand internationally."

"AWS provides the secure and reliable infrastructure that Cantaloupe needs to serve retail customers of all sizes and help them reach shoppers through digital promotion and loyalty programs," said Rich Geraffo, vice president of North America at AWS. "With more than 25,000 customers globally and over one million active IoT and payment devices, Cantaloupe will use AWS's broad functionality to help retailers monitor point-of-sale devices, optimize their inventory and innovate new solutions that help improve the shopping and payment experience."
