What Solidus does
Solidus is a privately held Greek fiscal systems distributor and software developer headquartered in Athens (with a branch in Thessaloniki). Founded in 2004, the company operates as the exclusive Greek representative of Datecs Ltd, the largest European manufacturer of fiscal cash registers, distributing Datecs-branded cash registers (BlueCash-50 MX, WP-500, CTR-222, CTR-150X), fiscal printers (FP-700X), and POS terminals (BluePad-5000, BluePad-55, BluePad-50 Plus) throughout the Greek market. All hardware carries mandatory AADE (Greek Independent Authority for Public Revenue) approvals under Greek fiscal regulation, positioning Solidus within a regulated compliance framework that creates a structural entry barrier.
The company's product portfolio spans hardware and proprietary software. Its own software products include IDOC (Android mobile invoicing application compatible with the myDATA platform), Oil2Go (mobile invoicing for energy product delivery — heating oil, gasoline, LPG, marine fuel), and VertigoSoft (cloud/SaaS business management with an AGRO edition for agriculture). In 2024, Solidus expanded its offering through a partnership with Datecs Payment Technology, adding virtual payment services (V-POS, PayByLink at 0.9% transaction rate) and integrated EFTPOS capabilities.
Solidus generates revenue primarily through one-time hardware unit sales (priced €150–€700+VAT depending on product) and software sales or subscriptions, distributed via a nationwide Greek dealer/reseller network, direct website sales, and Google Play for software apps. The customer base is fragmented across multiple verticals — retail, restaurants and food service, energy products, wholesale/B2B, and agriculture — serving SMBs and individual businesses rather than enterprise accounts. The company employs 1-10 people and operates exclusively within the Greek market.
