What MIMO does

MIMO is a privately held fintech and physical cash automation company that designs, manufactures, sells, and supports cash and coin recycling systems for cash-intensive enterprises. The company's hardware portfolio centers on the MIMO 200 (high-volume recycler), MIMO 50 (compact under-counter unit), MIMO 300 (high-capacity dual-denomination recycler), and the MIMO Tank (mobile cash collector for large venues), complemented by UL Listed TL-30 high-security safes, drop safes, cash counters, and a broad accessories catalog. The underlying technology combines proprietary cash validation, counterfeit detection, and cassette-based recycling with a cloud-based back-office platform (MIMO Cloud Back Office and Back Office Plus) that delivers real-time reporting, multi-location visibility, and API integrations into POS, HR, and hotel property management systems (including Evention).

MIMO makes money primarily through direct hardware sales to enterprise customers (casinos, hotels, amusement parks, grocery chains, retail, cannabis dispensaries) via a sales-led go-to-market that includes a U.S.-wide mobile showroom RV, inside sales, and an e-commerce storefront for parts and accessories. Recurring revenue comes from cloud software subscriptions and 24/7 service and support contracts, while consumables (cassettes, receipt paper, coin hoppers) generate ongoing parts revenue. Pricing on core equipment is quote-based, with fixed pricing on accessories; software is sold as annual subscriptions in two tiers (Back Office and Back Office Plus). All operations, including manufacturing, shipping, sales, and support, are centralized at the company's Aurora, Illinois headquarters.

The company serves enterprise and mid-market customers across multiple verticals and is led by CEO Pat Johnson, a 40-year industry veteran; MIMO is certified as a 100% woman-owned business. Founded in 2010, MIMO has accumulated reference customers including Universal Studios Hollywood, Costco, Ilani Casino Resort, Red Hawk Casino, Loews Hotels, Anderson Farms, and Langers Entertainment, and has expanded its product line in recent years with the MIMO 50, MIMO Tank, and the 2025 MIMO Smart Safe launch into cannabis, retail, and convenience store segments.
