SICOM Acquires FingerPrints™ Point of Sale System from Posera Ltd.

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. and TORONTO, Sept. 15, 2017 -- SICOM, a leading best-of-breed provider of end-to-end solutions for quick service and fast casual restaurants, and Posera Ltd. (TSX:PAY), a leading provider of mission critical software solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced the acquisition by SICOM of the FingerPrints point of sale (POS) system and related assets from Posera. The FingerPrints POS system was specifically designed for the quick service restaurant (QSR) industry. The acquisition further strengthens SICOM's domain expertise and commitment to adding greater value to the QSR industry, and more specifically to deepening its value in QSR across Canada. The divestiture by Posera enables it to strengthen its strategic focus on its core products: Maitre'D^® POS, KDS (Kitchen Display System), and SecureTablePay^® pay-at-the-table solution.

"The addition of FingerPrints strengthens our commitment to delivering a complete portfolio for QSR brands, franchises and restaurants. It is a robust product that drives greater efficiency and speed of service for quick service restaurants and will complement our existing solutions," said Jim Flynn, CEO of SICOM.  "With its Canadian presence, this acquisition provides us with physical locations in Canada, helping us to better serve our current customers there and expanding our international presence."

FingerPrints was launched in 2004 and currently operates in many leading QSR locations across Canada. Complemented by the Hypervision and Hyperscheduler offerings, FingerPrints enjoys an intuitive user interface and fully redundant system with integrated payment, EMV, loyalty and gift card capabilities as well as centralized menu and pricing programming, together with enabled mobile ordering.

"SICOM is the perfect fit for FingerPrints; with its thirty-year history of offering innovative products and services, its expansive customer list of the top QSR brand names and its commitment to growth, SICOM is the ideal accelerator to the FingerPrints brand's continued success," explained Dan Poirier, CEO of Posera. "This transaction is an exciting strategic evolution for Posera, allowing us to focus on Maitre'D, one of the premier POS brands, complete the roll out of SecureTablePay and capture the kitchen display market," added Poirier.

Over 1,100 QSR restaurants throughout Canada that operate with the FingerPrints system will now be managed by SICOM.
