What Latitude 91 does

Latitude 91 is an independently owned UK technology group headquartered in Basingstoke, England, operating as a holding entity for three specialist subsidiaries: Polar Moment (payment systems and software, founded 2006), SkillSet (eLearning and training delivery, founded 1992), and Game Payment Technology (cashless payment solutions for the gaming and amusements industry, founded 2015). The group designs, develops and supports business-critical payment systems — including Android-based payment terminal applications, payment integration and processing software — alongside bespoke eLearning programmes, Moodle hosting and consultancy, and cashless payment terminals (Game Payment Express, Game Payment app, GamePay) deployed in UK pubs, arcades and leisure venues. Technology build relies on Android-based terminal development, Moodle LMS hosting (with plugin development), and card terminal hardware with dynamic pricing and multi-table management for gaming use cases; the group holds AWS Consulting Partner status for cloud delivery and PCI-DSS-compliant payment infrastructure.

The group serves three primary verticals: UK public sector organizations (NHS England, Welsh Government, Department for Education, London Fire Brigade, Civil Service College), private sector enterprises (BBC, Sky, BP, Ericsson, PayPal, Worldpay, M&S, Allen & Overy), and the gaming and amusements industry (pubs, arcades, leisure venues). Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with long-term relationship-based engagement; the group has delivered projects in over 50 countries and reports that many clients have worked with the group for a decade or more. Revenue streams are diversified across professional services (payment systems consultancy and bespoke software development), recurring subscription/hosting fees (Moodle hosting, ongoing support), and transaction-based or hardware fees (GPT cashless payment technology). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is engagement-based, typically structured as multi-year enterprise contracts.

The firm's certifications (ISO 9001:2015 achieved 2010, ISO 27001:2022 and Cyber Essentials Plus achieved 2022) and AWS Consulting Partner status (2024) are central to its procurement positioning, particularly for UK regulated and public sector work. The group maintains additional offices in the Czech Republic and draws on a global associate network. Leadership is led by CEO Tim Stratton. The company is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investors and no acquisition activity since the 2006 group formation.

Direct peers

• Skillsoft: Global eLearning and compliance training content and platform provider. A close comparable to SkillSet on compliance, health & safety, and instructor-led training for enterprise and government clients, with overlapping LMS-adjacent recurring revenue dynamics.
• PayPoint: UK-listed cashless payment and eMoney provider with card terminals, mobile, and contactless services across retail and leisure venues. Most directly comparable to Latitude 91's GPT subsidiary, which deploys cashless payment terminals to pubs, arcades, and amusement venues, with overlapping regulatory exposure in age verification and responsible gambling.
• Learning Pool: Northern Ireland-headquartered eLearning and compliance training provider serving UK and global enterprises and government. Closely comparable to Latitude 91's SkillSet subsidiary on bespoke eLearning, compliance training, and LMS hosting for public-sector and regulated-industry clients.
• Inspired Entertainment: UK-based provider of gaming terminals, sports betting technology, and digital payments for the regulated gaming industry. A direct comparable to GPT's cashless gaming and amusement-machine payment terminals, including overlapping themes of responsible gambling controls and age verification.

Broad incumbents

• Stripe: Developer-first global payments infrastructure with APIs, processing, and fraud tooling. Comparable to Polar Moment's payment integration and developer-focused terminal projects, though Stripe is a customer/competitor dynamic for an enterprise payment software integrator.
• FIS: Global financial technology provider of payment processing, merchant acquiring, and payment software solutions. Now including Worldpay (a Latitude 91 client), FIS is the broad incumbent whose payment infrastructure suite overlaps most directly with Polar Moment's terminal and integration work.
• IGT (International Game Technology): Global gaming technology, lottery, and payment solutions provider with a large installed base of gaming terminals and payment systems. Comparable to GPT on cashless gaming payment terminals and to Polar Moment on broader payment processing infrastructure, though at considerably larger scale.
• Verifone: Global payment terminal manufacturer and integrated POS solutions provider with Android-based terminals widely used in retail and hospitality. Comparable to Polar Moment's Android-based payment terminal development work and to GPT's hardware-side cashless payment deployments.
• Playtech: UK-listed gambling and gaming technology platform provider with turnkey casino, sportsbook, and platform services globally. While much larger and more online-focused, it is the dominant incumbent in the gambling technology category into which GPT's cashless terminal business falls.

Others

• Moodle Pty Ltd (Moodle HQ): Vendor behind the open-source Moodle LMS ecosystem. Latitude 91's SkillSet subsidiary is an active Moodle hosting and consultancy partner, making Moodle HQ an ecosystem enabler and adjacent company rather than a direct competitor; their open-source platform underpins SkillSet's recurring hosting revenue.
