Company Begins Sales of Revolutionary BOHA!™ Branded Cloud-Based Apps
and Hardware Solutions to Broad Range of Restaurant and Foodservice
Customers
HAMDEN, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 17, 2019--
TransAct® Technologies Incorporated (Nasdaq: TACT) (“TransAct” or “the
Company”), a global leader in software-driven technology and printing
solutions for high-growth markets, highlighted today its early sales
success for its revolutionary BOHA!™
ecosystem since the product’s market introduction in March. To date,
TransAct has secured commitments from ten distinct restaurant or
foodservice operators representing a broad mix of customers to deploy
BOHA! solutions in their operations. Related to these initial
commitments, the Company expects to roll-out approximately 240 BOHA!
Terminals over the balance of the year.
The annual recurring revenue related to the above noted BOHA! solution
sales reflects a 1:1 ratio to the one-time hardware related revenue
recognized at the time of the sale. TransAct expects that as the BOHA!
solution continues to gain traction in the marketplace, the ratio of
recurring revenue to one-time hardware related revenue will grow, as
customers include more BOHA! apps in their initial installation or
integrate additional BOHA! apps following deployments.
BOHA! is the first single-vendor solution to combine applications for
Inventory Management, Temperature Monitoring of Food and Equipment, 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.
Bart C. Shuldman, Chairman and CEO of TransAct Technologies, said,
“We’re pleased with the industry reception for our revolutionary BOHA!
SaaS-based software and hardware ecosystem since its introduction
just one month ago. It’s clear from these early sales and from the high
level of ongoing customer discussions and customer trials of our BOHA!
solutions that we are at the forefront of offering the restaurant and
foodservice industries a compelling suite of integrated software
applications and hardware solutions to automate their back-of-house
operations. This early level of interest across a broad array of
customer sizes and operational complexity confirms our belief that BOHA!
represents the largest single addressable market opportunity that
TransAct has had in our history.”

SaaS-based ecosystem for investors in New York City on April 23 in the
