Tap, pay, cheers. How BeerMate and CCV IM30 are reinventing self-service

Specialised payment solutions for every vending scenario

Overview

BeerMate is an innovative self-service beer machine that combines drink vending, cup distribution, and cup return in one unit. Designed specifically for high-traffic environments like concerts, festivals, and stadiums, it eliminates the need for long queues and additional staff.

At the core of its payment setup? The CCV IM30. Our Android-based terminal enables fast, contactless payments directly on the machine – ensuring speed, reliability, and security during peak demand moments. A powerful and scalable payment solution for integrators and vending providers also for more complexe use cases.

The combination of BeerMate and CCV stands for fast, contactless transactions, perfect pours, and real-time operational insights.

How the solution works

  • Accepts contactless, chip and magnetic-stripe cards, NFC wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay), and PIN-on-glass transactions.
  • Payment processed in seconds via secure PCI-certified technology. 
  1. Perfect pour

BeerMate’s precision valves and flow sensors pour the exact amount every time at the ideal temperature. 

  • Cooling system maintains freshness.
  • Automated cleaning cycles ensure hygiene during high-volume use. 
  1. Enjoy & repeat

    Once payment is confirmed, the drink is dispensed immediately. That keeps queues short and visitors happy. 

  2. Real-time insights

Thanks to the Android-based CCV IM30, operators get connected dashboards with real-time data on:

  • Sales volumes & transaction history
  • Stock levels & temperature control
  • Machine health & maintenance needs

Key Benefits

The BeerMate and CCV IM30 solution delivers high speed by processing payments in seconds and starting the pour immediately, allowing operators to serve more customers in less time and keep queues short. It offers unmatched reliability, engineered to perform without interruption during peak demand at large-scale events, thanks to robust hardware and industrial-grade components. The system is fully future-proof, running on an Android-based operating system that enables app integration, modular upgrades, and remote software updates, ensuring it adapts to evolving market needs. Payments are fully secure, thanks to PCI compliance and PIN-on-glass technology providing the highest standards of transaction safety for both operators and customers. In addition, remote diagnostics and proactive monitoring reduce the need for on-site visits, lowering maintenance requirements while keeping the machines performing at their best.
