Unified Commerce: Unzer Acquires Tillhub and Unites Ecommerce with POS

Tillhub specialises in innovative cloud-based till systems. The company has been collaborating closely with Unzer for the past two years. During this time, it became clear that joining forces presented a win-win situation for Unzer and Tillhub. This step allows Unzer to offer the full range of solutions required for unified commerce. In addition to an acquiring license, ecommerce payment solutions, and POS terminal technology, Unzer now has software that enables it to unite ecommerce and brick-and-mortar retail. The parties have agreed not to disclose the price of the acquisition.

Speaking about the acquisition, Unzer CEO Robert Bueninck said, “We’re pleased that Tillhub is now a part of Unzer. Our collaboration in product development and knowledge sharing with the Tillhub team have shown that both sides can benefit from a shared journey. Tillhub is innovative and develops flexible, scalable solutions for the point of sale. For Unzer, this step means that, in addition to an acquiring license, ecommerce business, and expertise in our payment terminal business, we are well on our way to offering a true unified commerce solution. For merchants and companies that do business both online and in physical stores, that makes us the ideal partner. I’m looking forward to the continued cooperation.”

“We are very happy to now be a part of Unzer. Both sides mutually benefit from this acquisition. Our goal is to seamlessly merge brick-and-mortar and online retail, and with Unzer we have the possibility to reach our full potential. We want to really take off in the field of advanced POS systems combined with smart, customer-friendly payment solutions, and we want to offer companies a wide range of services that can be quickly, easily, and flexibly adapted to individual needs,” explains Tim Seithe, founder and CEO of Tillhub.
