Zippin and Yellow Dog Software are teaming up to take checkout-free shopping to the next level for sports teams and venue operators. This partnership integrates Yellow Dog’s proven back-office and inventory management tools with Zippin’s industry-leading checkout-free technology. By combining these two systems, operators will benefit from a more comprehensive view of store inventory and performance, while making their checkout-free store operations more efficient.

This partnership represents the first and only checkout-free platform to integrate with Yellow Dog Software. 

"We are proud to have an ecosystem of more than 25 technology partners who integrate with our checkout-free platform," said Krishna Motukuri, CEO and Co-Founder of Zippin. "Our partnership with Yellow Dog Software signifies an important extension to our platform by giving checkout-free store operators seamless access to the same advanced inventory replenishment capabilities they're already using in their traditional stores."

About Zippin

Zippin is the checkout-free leader in sports and entertainment, with stores widely deployed across all professional sports leagues and at premier events like the US Open and Super Bowl. By eliminating checkout, fans can avoid waiting in line for food and drinks and get back to enjoying the action in just 30 seconds. For operators, Zippin eliminates the fundamental pressure points of traditional retail (speed, shrink, and labor costs) to enable highly efficient, profitable stores.

Zippin supports over 25 integrations through its API framework, the Zippin Gateway. This flexibility makes it easily to connect with third-party systems such as inventory management and loyalty programs. The Zippin Gateway also makes it possible to add features to the shopping experience that fans love, such as self-service draft beer. Yellow Dog Software is an important addition to Zippin’s growing partner ecosystem. 

About Yellow Dog

A full-featured back-office system trusted by over 2,000+ venues, Yellow Dog software manages the inventory needs for concessions, food & beverage, and retail operators of all sizes and helps streamline daily processes. Yellow Dog is particularly renowned in the sports and entertainment industry, where they serve over 40% of professional sports teams from the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, NLL, WNBA, MiLB, and NCAA.

"By partnering with Zippin, we are bringing our robust inventory management capabilities to checkout-free stores. Our operators will have one system to review all of their sales and add Zippin locations to their automatic Yellow Dog ordering and replenishment systems,” said Jay Livingood, Chief Executive Officer, Yellow Dog Software.

The Power of Partnership

The Zippin Crew App gives employees access to store operations tools and basic inventory management at their fingertips. Adding Yellow Dog enhances these capabilities for better control over inventory and replenishment, more efficient back-office operations, and deeper insights into the performance of their checkout-free store. This is now live at Zippin-powered stores at Frost Bank Center, with additional venues scheduled to deploy the new integration soon.
