“I am very pleased with the solid start to the year and how poised we are for growth in 2022,” said Steve Levely, CEO of Ackroo. “Led by the year over year growth in our AckrooPOS business we are very encouraged by both the progress we have had internally as well as seeing our merchant clients’ businesses improving as well. It has been a long 2 years with Covid but we really are seeing light at the end of a long tunnel on a number of fronts. We are winning a greater amount of larger new customers, cross selling more current customers and doing a better job retention wise then we were a year ago. We are migrating more customers from old platforms to our new current ones and have continued our focus on balancing growth with earnings generation as we achieved double digit earnings as a percentage of revenue once again. We continued to make product enhancements and improve product parity from acquired legacy platforms and have some great new product releases coming later in the year to drive bigger organic growth. As the quarter closed off and we made changes at a board level, we also started back up several of our M&A and other strategic discussions so that we are poised for those opportunities in the second half of 2022. In all the company really is on very stable ground and is poised strategically and functionally for our best year yet.”
