Financial-grade commission engine
Percentage, flat, or tiered rules with transparent deduction chains. Cantaloupe offers basic reporting — Vendric gives you audit-ready commission calculations with PDF generation and email delivery.
No vendor lock-in
Vendric works with Nayax, Cantaloupe, or any CSV export. You can even run multiple telemetry providers simultaneously. Cantaloupe ties you to their ecosystem.
Per-machine profitability
Drill down to individual machine P&L after expenses, commissions, and VAT. Cantaloupe shows aggregate sales — Vendric shows which machines actually make money.
VAT compliance built in
Output/input VAT tracking, filing period reports, and tax-inclusive price back-calculation. No other vending platform handles VAT at this level.
Where Cantaloupe wins
Larger hardware ecosystem

Longer track record
Cantaloupe (formerly USA Technologies) has been in the vending industry for over 25 years with ~30-35% US market share. They have deep relationships with major bottlers and OEMs.
