Tactile Technologies, which positions itself as a leading provider of touch screen, auto-ID and payment technology solutions in Sub-Saharan Africa, today announced it is partnering with Bridgement to bring business funding directly to its customers. This partnership will help clients get faster access to the working capital they need to grow and operate more effectively.
For many South African businesses, particularly in the retail, hospitality, logistics, distribution and service sectors, access to funding remains a major challenge. While businesses often invest in technology to improve efficiency, expand operations, and enhance customer experiences, cash flow constraints can limit their ability to grow and respond to market opportunities.
Through the partnership with Bridgment, Tactile Technologies is helping customers unlock access to flexible working capital that can be used to purchase equipment, increase inventory levels, expand operations, hire employees or strengthen day-to-day cash flow.
For over two decades, Tactile Technologies has partnered with businesses across South Africa to provide professional touch screen solutions, payment technology, bar code scanning systems, mobile computing devices and digital transformation tools. By adding access to business funding, the company is supporting clients in achieving sustainable growth.
“Our customers are constantly looking for ways to improve operational efficiency, modernize their technology environments and remain competitive in a rapidly evolving marketplace,” said Mauro Mercuri, Founder of Tactile Technologies. “However, many businesses still face significant barriers when it comes to accessing the working capital needed to invest in growth. By providing Bridgement's funding solutions, we can help businesses move faster on opportunities without the delays associated with traditional financing.”
By combining technology enablement with access to funding, Tactile Technologies is creating a more comprehensive support ecosystem for South African businesses. Customers can now access the operational technology solutions they need and the financial resources needed to implement them.
“Technology and access to capital are the two most important drivers of business growth,” Mercuri said. “Our goal is to help South African businesses not only modernize their operations, but gain access to the financial tools that allow them to expand with confidence.”
As economic pressures continue to impact businesses across the country, this partnership underscores Tactile Technologies' commitment to providing practical, business-focused solutions that support growth, innovation and long-term success.
