Crane Payment Innovations (CPI), announced the launch of its new cash automation solution, Paypod Compact. CPI provides solutions for retailers seeking fully customizable self-service or attended lane checkout systems, and Paypod Compact is the latest addition to the company’s portfolio of automated cash management solutions.

Paypod Compact is the cornerstone of CPI checkout technology, delivering fast, secure compact cash acceptance in all checkout designs. The new front-access Paypod variant, equipped with CPI note and coin acceptors, enhances the store experience by automating cash acceptance and minimizing wait times for all customers – those paying with cash, a card or digital wallet.

Jan-Hinrik Bauwe, president of Crane Payment Innovations, said in the announcement: “Successful checkout technologies begin with exceptional payment technologies. With more than 10 million devices installed worldwide, we provide our customers with a solid foundation to achieve their revenue and profitability goals. Paypod Compact is the latest innovation to fulfill our mission to provide fully flexible checkout technologies for our customers.” 

The new Paypod Compact is a front-access solution compared to its rear access and tabletop predecessors, making it the perfect fit for integration into multiple applications. This sleek cash automation solution provides a streamlined and efficient payment experience for every customer while maximizing available floor space for retailers.

Marvin van Dijken, VP of sales, retail checkout, added in the announcement: “We noticed a demand for reliable, easy-to-integrate cash payment solutions for our customers’ custom self-checkout systems. To address this rising need, we developed Paypod Compact, a seamless cash management solution that gives our customers an advantage that allows them to provide their customers with a more efficient checkout experience.”

Paypod Compact enables seamless implementation and communication between cash components and point-of-sale systems through its universal API (Application Programming Interface). Additionally, with Simplifi Remote Management Software, customers gain valuable insights into hardware health, cash inventory, and warnings of changing conditions.
