Drawing together the skills, assets and energy of the Worldline terminal business with the global market strength of the former Ingenico B&A business unit, TSS is the undisputed market leader in terminals solutions and services across the globe. Notwithstanding these structural changes and, of course, the global Covid-19 pandemic’s impact during 2020, TSS has never lost sight of its strategic goal – to continue to bring an industry leading portfolio of technology and services to its customers, whilst moving from a predominantly hardware business to an “as-a-service” business model, expanding its professional services offering, and accelerating the deployment of its Android-based products portfolio. 2020 has seen strong progress with notable successes in professional services revenue growth and some important Terminal-as-a-Service (TaaS) contracts in both Europe and Australia. It also heralded the announcement of the TSS Payment-Platform-as-a-Service (PPaaS), which will bring additional value to customers and their own merchant customers by way of an Open API and cloud-based middleware layer. 2021 will see the start of TSS’s PPaaS deployments, through w chhi TSS will enable its entire ecosystem of bank, acquirer, fintech, and ISV customers and partners to significantly cut their operational costs and bring new functionality to their merchant base faster than ever before.
