USA Technologies has announced that Admiral Pepsi, one of the largest privately-held bottlers for Pepsi-Cola products in North America, has signed a multi-year agreement for USAT’s ePort Connect Service.

The agreement includes deployment of the ePort cashless payment system on nearly 6,000 machines in addition to the Seed Pro logistics software, according to a press release. The complete end-to-end enterprise product would enable Admiral to provide cashless payments, improve customer service and route efficiency and reduce the company's carbon footprint, according to USA Technologies.

"Admiral's reputation for superior service and dedication to innovation made them a perfect candidate for implementing both USAT's cashless and the back-office services," Anant Agrawal, executive vice president of corporate development at USA Technologies, said in the release. "They have recognized for some time that an investment in technology would be an integral part of the company's future, but had been unsure of who to partner with long-term on this important project."
