What Today's Business Solutions does

Today's Business Solutions (TBS) is a privately held US software and hardware vendor founded in 1991 and headquartered in Willowbrook, Illinois, with a secondary office in Union City, California. The company focuses on public-library and higher-education institutions, providing an integrated portfolio that spans print management, mobile and cloud printing, payment kiosks, scanning, computer booking, and point-of-sale. Core products include ePRINTit (secure cloud-based mobile printing with 256-bit encryption), Web-Print Enterprise, PaperCut MF for print management, MyPC for computer booking, ScanEZ for scanning and translation, MagnaPOS-L for library point-of-sale on Microsoft SQL Server, and the TBS 9900 series of payment kiosks and CPad terminals.

The product stack combines proprietary hardware (TBS 9900, CPad) with cloud and on-premise software integrated into customer infrastructure via ILS, LMS, Active Directory, LDAP, and PaperCut, supporting authentication, secure print release, Find-Me printing, and centralized reporting. AI/ML features include Vivid-Pix's patented image enhancement and ScanEZ machine-learning-based handwriting recognition, alongside ABBYY OCR across 192 languages. The ePRINTit SaaS is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, and the payment hardware is PCI DSS compliant, supporting coins, bills, magnetic stripe, chip, NFC, Apple Pay, and Google Wallet.

TBS monetizes through three streams: SaaS subscriptions (ePRINTit and related platforms), hardware unit sales (kiosks, terminals), and technical and implementation services. Distribution is direct enterprise field sales with no public pricing; all quotes are custom and contracts are typically multi-year. Marketing relies on the corporate website, direct outreach, product demonstrations, brochure requests, and social channels. The vertical specialization since 1991 — supported by MLA Awards in 2022, 2023, and 2025 (Platinum) — is the company's primary positioning lever.
