Case Study: Canteen of Northern California boosts sales and eliminates shrink with Cantaloupe Smart Store

Canteen of Northern California Sees Its Sales Explode With Smart Stores

Canteen of Northern California, a provider of vending solutions, faced challenges with limited product variety and inefficient inventory management from traditional vending machines at Santa Rosa Junior College. They partnered with vendor Cantaloupe to implement its Smart Store solution to modernize the shopping experience.

Cantaloupe's Smart Store, utilizing weighted shelf systems and cashless payments, provided a seamless and secure retail experience. This solution delivered a remarkable over 250% increase in sales, from a weekly average of $450-$600 to $1,600. It also achieved a 0% shrinkage rate, eliminated service calls, and allowed for faster, more accurate restocking, leading to plans for three additional units on campus.
