Taiwan's Fii Accelerates Payment POS Rollout, Eyes 10% Software Revenue

Taiwanese industrial computer manufacturer Fii (6206) is significantly boosting its Payment Point-of-Sale (POS) systems, with plans to achieve 10-20% coverage by the end of the year. The company has seen accelerated deployment of these payment-integrated solutions since the beginning of 2026. In the first half of the year, systems with payment functionality already exceeded 10% of the total POS coverage. Fii aims to further increase this ratio, projecting that related revenue could reach 20% of the company's total, driven by a continued "POS + Payment" combination strategy.

Beyond payment hardware, Fii is aggressively expanding its software division. Three of its software subsidiaries, offering services like AI visual recognition and unified endpoint management platforms, have already surpassed their entire 2025 revenue in the first half of this year. The company anticipates exponential growth in the second half and projects that its software business will contribute 10% to the group's total revenue by next year. This expansion includes leveraging a monthly subscription model for software, which complements the hardware's one-time sales model and creates cumulative revenue growth.

Payment POS systems have accelerated their release since this year. In the first half of the year, the coverage of related payment solutions has exceeded 10%. The full-year estimate is between 10% and 20%, and it is expected to increase further in the second half.

Fii is also making inroads into the self-checkout market with its AI software solutions. The company has already secured revenue from a chain of supermarkets in Thailand and expects to sign contracts for hundreds of self-checkout machines by the end of 2026, further integrating hardware sales with recurring software and service revenue. This strategy aims to increase average selling prices (ASP) and improve the overall gross profit structure.

Addressing potential supply chain disruptions, Fii is proactively increasing its inventory of critical components such as CPUs, SSDs, and memory. This strategic stocking aims to mitigate cost fluctuations, ensure stable supply, and maintain profit margins, especially given current market uncertainties. The company stated it has sufficient cash reserves to support this inventory strategy.

The three software companies' revenue has continued to grow this year, with a target for software revenue to reach 10% next year.
