PEAC Solutions launches topi platform in UK

PEAC Solutions (PEAC) has launched the topi digital finance platform in the UK, making the subscription-based hardware solution available to UK resellers just four months after completing its acquisition of the fintech company.

The rollout is one of the fastest deployments of a fintech platform of its kind in the UK, according to PEAC, and marks a significant step in the company’s technology channel strategy.

topi provides a fully digital platform that allows IT resellers and vendors to offer subscription-based hardware to business customers. The system is designed to streamline the purchasing process by moving from quotation and credit approval to contract completion within minutes, aiming to deliver a consumer-style buying experience in the B2B IT market.

The acquisition strengthens PEAC’s digital finance capabilities and expands its position in the growing Device as a Service (DaaS) market. The platform is API-driven and can be embedded into a reseller’s existing sales environment, including e-commerce checkouts, telesales operations, or point-of-sale systems.

Through topi, resellers can generate DaaS pricing in a small number of clicks, offering customers an alternative to upfront purchases or traditional finance arrangements. The digital workflow is intended to reduce manual paperwork and speed up transaction completion, enabling partners to recognise revenue more quickly.

PEAC also confirmed that topi has been approved as a Lenovo Global Financial Services funding partner in the UK. The approval follows existing collaboration between the organisations in several European markets and allows UK resellers to access additional Lenovo rebates on eligible DaaS transactions.

Jordan Lisle, Channel Tech Director at PEAC Solutions, said the UK launch represents a step change for the IT channel.

“The platform brings true innovation to the IT channel, making it incredibly easy for resellers to offer effective payment solutions while removing the complexity that traditionally surrounds finance,” he said, adding that the company had adopted a “dare to be different” mindset in developing its technology offering and “topi is a perfect example of this approach brought to life.”

With topi now live, PEAC said it plans to deploy the platform widely across the UK IT channel to support partners in increasing sales velocity, improving margins, and expanding their DaaS offerings.

Leonard Coen, VP of Partnerships at topi GmbH, said: “This UK launch marks a significant milestone for topi as we enter our fifth market, after operating in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

“We are equally excited to expand our close collaboration and partnership with Lenovo Global Financial Services and their team, and to become an official funder in the UK.”
