TransAct

What TransAct does

TransAct Technologies (NASDAQ: TACT) is a public company founded in 1996 that develops software-driven technology and printing solutions for foodservice, casino/gaming, and point-of-sale automation markets. Following the August 2024 divestiture of its Transact Campus business to Roper Technologies (which merged it with CBORD and later rebranded as Illumia in March 2026), the company operates two reportable segments: BOHA!-branded foodservice technology and Epic-branded casino/gaming hardware and software. The company reports an installed base of more than 3.3 million printers and terminals shipped since inception and a current deployment of 19,000+ foodservice locations served by the BOHA! platform.

The BOHA! platform is a cloud-based SaaS suite comprising seven application modules (Labeling, Food Prep, Checklist, Timer, Temp, Sense, and Media) plus three purpose-built hardware terminals (BOHA! Terminal 2, Terminal 2 LTE, and WorkStation) that automate FDA-compliant labeling, prep scheduling, digital checklists, kitchen timers, temperature logging, LoRaWan-based equipment monitoring, and on-demand training media for multi-unit restaurants, convenience stores, and contract foodservice operators. In 2025, TransAct fully acquired the BOHA! software rights, removing prior licensing constraints and repositioning software as the primary growth engine. The casino/gaming segment includes the Epic Edge family of TITO printers (Edge, Edge+, Edge TT) and the Epic TR80 roll printer, sold alongside the Epicentral real-time promotional bonusing software, primarily to commercial and tribal casino operators.

TransAct generates revenue across four streams: hardware/printer sales (the largest), recurring BOHA! SaaS subscriptions (foodservice technology recurring revenue of $12.3 million in 2025, up 14% year-over-year), OEM/channel licensing (GoFreshDate Kiosk via MedVantage), and services, parts, and supplies sold through the TransAct Services Group e-commerce channel. Distribution combines a direct enterprise sales force (selling BOHA! and Epic products to multi-unit foodservice and casino operators), OEM partners and value-added resellers (MedVantage, Suppliers of Panama), and an e-commerce storefront for consumables. Named customers include KFC, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Sonic, A&W, 7-Eleven, IHOP, Aramark, Sodexo, Compass Group, and Hissho Sushi, alongside unnamed casino operators and higher-education institutions such as Purdue, Florida, and Michigan State. Full-year 2025 net sales were $51.5 million (up 19% year-over-year), with 2026 guidance of $55-57 million.

The BOHA! platform combines purpose-built labeling terminals with a cloud suite of back-of-house automation apps (labeling, food prep, checklists, timers, temperature, IoT sensing, and training media), while the Epic portfolio delivers TITO and roll thermal printers plus the Epicentral real-time promotional bonusing software used by casino operators. Revenue is generated through hardware sales, recurring SaaS subscriptions, OEM/channel distribution, and a services group for supplies, parts, and depot repair.

Broad incumbents

• Zebra Technologies: Zebra is a global leader in enterprise asset tracking and printing, including thermal printers used in retail, hospitality, manufacturing and supply chain. Directly comparable as a competitor in thermal printing hardware that TransAct sells into its foodservice and POS end markets, though Zebra operates at materially larger scale across a much broader portfolio.
• Epson: Epson is one of the largest manufacturers of thermal receipt and label printers used at point of sale worldwide. Highly comparable on the BOHA! Terminal 2 / Ithaca 9000 competitive axis in foodservice and retail receipt/label printing, though it competes as a broader imaging and printing incumbent rather than a foodservice SaaS specialist.
• Scientific Games: Scientific Games (now part of Light & Wonder) supplies slot content, slot management systems, and adjacent hardware to casino operators globally. Comparable at the level of casino-floor systems that integrate with or compete against Epicentral promotional bonusing and TITO printing, though at a far larger scale.
• Toast: Toast is one of the largest restaurant technology platforms, offering POS, payroll, online ordering, and back-of-house tools to restaurants. Comparable to BOHA! where restaurant technology platforms encompass back-of-house tooling, though Toast competes as a full-stack POS incumbent rather than a back-of-house specialist.

Direct peers

• Star Micronics: Star Micronics is a direct competitor in thermal receipt and label printers for POS and foodservice environments, with strong presence in hospitality and retail. Comparable on hardware product (Ithaca 9000-style printers) and on bundled software solutions for restaurant environments.
• Bixolon: Bixolon is a Korean manufacturer of thermal printer hardware widely deployed in retail, hospitality, and gaming. Closely comparable on the receipt and label printer axis for TransAct's foodservice hardware (BOHA! Terminal 2) and competitive in the same OEM channels.
• JCM Global: JCM Global is one of the leading manufacturers of TITO ticket printers, validators, and related casino floor equipment. Most directly comparable to TransAct's Epic Edge and Epic Edge+ TITO printers, sharing the same primary end-customer (commercial, tribal and lottery operators) and similar supply dynamics.
• Crunchtime: Crunchtime provides restaurant back-of-house operations software including food cost, inventory, and scheduling for multi-unit operators. Highly comparable as a direct competitor to BOHA! in foodservice back-of-house automation targeting the same QSR/casual dining/contract foodservice segments.
• Restaurant365: Restaurant365 is a cloud-based enterprise restaurant management platform combining accounting, inventory, and operations modules for multi-unit operators. Comparable as a direct BOHA! competitor in foodservice back-of-house software, with broader accounting/finance scope than BOHA!.

Regional players

• Nanoptix: Nanoptix designs and manufactures thermal printers specifically for gaming, lottery, and kiosk applications. Comparable as a niche competitor in the gaming thermal printer space alongside TransAct's Epic TITO printer line, particularly relevant for casino operators evaluating slot floor hardware.
