HAMDEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TransAct® Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT) (“TransAct” or “the Company”), a global leader in software-driven technology and printing solutions for high-growth markets, announced today that it has secured a new agreement with a large U.S. foodservice provider for the deployment of the BOHA! hardware and one of the BOHA! SaaS-based apps at more than 400 locations by 2021 year end. The Company expects approximately 175 customer locations will be live with the BOHA! hardware and software solutions by 2019 year end with an additional approximately 250 locations expected to go live over the following two years.
The BOHA! deployments at these locations will include the BOHA! Labeling SaaS-based app and TransAct Enterprise Management System (TEMS) alongside two to three BOHA! Terminals per location, as well as TransAct Labels specifically designed to work with the thermal printers featured in the BOHA! Terminal and TransAct Service. Based on these initial deployments and the Company’s forecast, TransAct believes the annual recurring average revenue per location for this agreement will be approximately $1,100.
Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and CEO of TransAct Technologies, said, “Momentum for our revolutionary BOHA! ecosystem of hardware and SaaS-based software apps continues to grow as restaurant and foodservice providers gain additional understanding and appreciation for how the BOHA! ecosystem of solutions can help them manage their back-of-house operations more effectively and efficiently. As we continue to gain traction with BOHA! solution sales, we are benefitting from initial upfront revenue related to hardware sales while also growing our base of annual recurring revenue related to the deployment of BOHA! software apps, recurring label sales and ongoing services revenue. This new agreement with a large, national foodservice brand provides additional evidence that BOHA! is able to meet the growing industry demand for back-of-house automation solutions and bolsters our confidence that we can achieve our near- and long-term growth objectives as we continue to execute on what we estimate is an approximately $1 billion market opportunity.”
BOHA! is the first single-vendor solution to combine applications for Inventory Management, Temperature Monitoring of Food and Equipment, Timers, Food Safety Labeling, Food Recalls, Checklists & Procedures, Equipment Service Management and Delivery Management in one fully-integrated platform. Each BOHA! solution combines cloud-based SaaS applications with hardware and accessories to deliver superior results for critical back-of-house operations. BOHA! offers a one-stop solution for restaurants and food service companies to address their current back-of-house operating requirements while providing a future-ready platform capable of addressing back-of-house operations as they continue to evolve. BOHA! Terminal includes TEMS (TransAct Enterprise Management System) to ensure only approved apps and functions are available on the device.
