Case Study: Vendors Exchange Connect achieves reliable, global, easy-to-manage connectivity for VE CONNECT interactive kiosks with Cradlepoint COR Series

Vendors Exchange Transforms Retail Automation with Fully Interactive Platform Powered by Cradlepoint Connectivity

Vendors Exchange Connect deployed its VE CONNECT interactive vending platform across thousands of diverse locations worldwide and needed constant, affordable Internet connectivity with minimal on-site management. To meet narrow profit margins and varied site conditions (airports, campuses, factories, malls, offices), the customer selected Cradlepoint and its COR Series to provide a small, M2M-designed router that would not disrupt existing machine functions while delivering reliable network access.

Cradlepoint implemented COR Series routing platforms that connect via Ethernet, public or private WiFi, or embedded mobile broadband modems for global carrier support. The solution delivered the flexible, always-on connectivity Vendors Exchange Connect required, enabling seamless installs, reducing downtime and on-site troubleshooting, and supporting a global rollout of interactive kiosks — outcomes the company attributes directly to Cradlepoint’s reliability.
