Australian POS startup Kounta launches in the US | ZDNet
Summary
Australian cloud point-of-sale (POS) platform provider Kounta has launched in the United States, with the company aiming to plug what it calls a "huge gap" in the North American business software market. For its part, Micros -- which was acquired by Oracle in June last year for $5.3 billion -- claims more than 6,600 employees, with its software, hardware, and cloud solutions in use across more than 330,000 customer sites in 180 countries. "Were entering a busy market, but one thats ripe for disruption," said Seed, who is heading up the companys first North American office in Silicon Valley. By contrast, said Seed, Kounta has built as an open platform that integrates with other systems, allowing small business owners to choose the payments provider, accounting software, or ordering applications that best suit them. Kountas US move comes as Australian near-field communication (NFC) technology startup Tapit makes a run at the US market, opening its first international office in New York late last year.
