A hand-held POS offers flexibility and a new smart cooler for grab-and-go retail are among the highlights from Cantaloupe

At the 2024 NAMA Show, Bob Tullio was joined by Elyssa Steiner, chief marketing officer for Cantaloupe, to share insights about some of Cantaloupe’s latest products. Among the products they discussed was Cheq by Cantaloupe, a mobile-first, point-of-sale solution that operators can take into entertainment venues, stadiums and festivals. Steiner also showed off the Cheq hand-held device, a point-of-sale solution that allows operators to diversify into opportunities like pop-up micro markets or food trucks, she noted. She also demonstrated Cantaloupe’s Smart Cafe smart cooler, which uses multiple cameras and artificial intelligence to provide unattended vending that allows vendors to offer grab-and-go retail and eliminate shrinkage.
