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 tax. Cantaloupe shows aggregate sales — Vendric shows which machines actually make money.
Tax compliance built in
Output/input tax tracking, filing period reports, and tax-inclusive price back-calculation. No other vending platform handles tax at this level.
Where Cantaloupe wins
