Insights

Usio's collaboration with a leading ERP provider, which processes over $1 billion annually in electronic payments, represents a significant growth opportunity. If Usio captures the projected transaction volume, it could result in over $20 million in annual recurring revenue. This aligns well with Usio’s strategic growth plans, enhancing its footprint in the FinTech space. Short-term, the initial merchant onboarding expected later this year could present a modest revenue bump. However, the real impact will be felt in 2025 as migration ramps up. For investors, it’s essential to monitor the company’s ability to successfully integrate this solution and achieve the projected merchant adoption rate. The scale and efficiency of Usio's payment platform will be critical in handling this increased volume. Given the competitive FinTech market, Usio’s unique selling points, such as ‘white glove’ customer service and flexible payment solutions, could provide a competitive edge.

The integration of Usio's PayFac-in-a-Box into the ERP software of the ISV involves sophisticated technology that allows for seamless electronic payment processing. This PayFac-in-a-Box solution simplifies the payment process for merchants by integrating directly into their existing ERP systems. For those unfamiliar, a PayFac (Payment Facilitator) model streamlines the payment process for smaller merchants by handling the payment infrastructure and compliance. This can significantly reduce operational complexity and costs for merchants. The technology's flexibility and ease of use are particularly vital, as they facilitate quicker adoption rates. Considering the technical requirements, the successful deployment will require robust IT infrastructure and support from Usio to ensure smooth integration and minimal disruption for the ERP provider's customers.

From a market perspective, Usio's deal with the ERP ISV positions it well in several high-growth verticals such as janitorial & sanitation, home improvement and domestic services. These sectors, while not traditionally tech-heavy, are increasingly adopting digital solutions to streamline operations. The ISV's extensive base of small to enterprise-level businesses provides a broad market for Usio's payment solutions. Additionally, the projected $20 million in annual recurring revenue indicates a substantial market opportunity. It's important for investors to consider the competitive landscape; Usio’s ability to differentiate itself through superior customer service and a flexible payment platform will be key to retaining and expanding its customer base in these segments.

Processing Volume Represents a Potential $20 Million or more of Annual Recurring Revenue Opportunity

ISV integrating Usio’s PayFac-in-a-Box into their ERP software, with merchants expected to migrate onto Usio platform throughout 2024

SAN ANTONIO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Usio, Inc. (Nasdaq: USIO), a cloud-based, integrated FinTech electronic payment solutions provider, today announced it had entered into an agreement whereby its innovative payments technology will be integrated into the software of a leading provider of web-based integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions. The ISV’s ERP system is installed on hundreds of small, mid-sized and enterprise-level businesses. Usio’s payment solution will be fully integrated into the provider’s web-based software solutions, making it easier than ever for the ISV’s merchants to process all manner of electronic payments. As it is integrated, the ISV believes these improvements will prompt its merchants to readily migrate their electronic payment transaction processing volume onto the Usio payments platform.

Louis Hoch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Usio, said, “We welcome our new ISV and its customers to the Usio payment network. This is a significant competitive win as our new ISV has customers that process over $1 billion of electronic payments per year. If Usio achieves its objective to board all of the ISV’s existing merchants, their more than $1 billion of transaction processing volume could equate to over $20 million in annual recurring revenues for our Card business. Usio’s payment solution is currently being integrated into the ISVs web-based ERP solution. We expect to board the first group of merchants in the later part of the second quarter with boarding expected to ramp up from that point forward. Once boarded, we expect revenue to follow beginning late this year and more meaningfully in 2025.”

Hoch continued, “This new relationship reflects the strong value proposition that our PayFac-in-a-Box payment solution offers to independent software vendors (ISVs). Our technology allows ISVs to easily integrate flexible payment capabilities into their applications enabling their merchants to process all manner of electronic payments. Ease of use, the strength of our payment network, our ’white glove‘ customer service, and the flexibility of our solution were all factors that were heavily in our favor.”

The ISV provides ERP software for thousands of merchants, who generate approximately $6 billion in total revenues per year, of which more than $1 billion is in the form of electronic payments. The firm caters to a variety of verticals, primarily franchisees in the janitorial & sanitation, home improvement, and domestic services industries, but serves other markets as well, such as Government. In addition to their leading ERP software, the ISV has expertise in complex product configuration and sales (configure, price, quote), warehouse management, supply chain logistics, and a variety of other integrated business tools.
