On the route

For a vending operator, the VPOS Touch simplifies the cashless transition by bundling the reader, cellular antenna, and MDB harness. You plug it into the machine and it connects via 4G LTE, removing the need for local internet infrastructure. The Nayax integration allows you to monitor inventory and sales from a mobile device. This setup is particularly useful for remote locations where Wi-Fi is unreliable. The inclusion of EMV and contactless support covers the majority of consumer payment methods. However, you must ensure your machines support MDB or Pulse protocols before purchasing. The listing confirms compliance with PCI DSS and EMV standards, which addresses security concerns for both you and your customers.
