Encyclopedia
Triton Systems LLC is a manufacturer of automated teller machines (ATMs). Triton ATMs are built in Long Beach, Mississippi
. Triton has been in business since 1979, and has nearly 200,000 installations in over 24 countries.
In the early 1990s, Triton pioneered in-store cash withdrawals with the introduction of the Scrip terminal, a machine that allows a store’s customers to use an ATM card to generate a voucher that was redeemable for cash at the register.
In 2000 Triton was acquired by Dover Corporation
(NYSE-traded DOV), a diversified manufacturer of a wide range of proprietary products and components for industrial and commercial use. In 2004, Fujitsu
and Triton entered into a strategic licensing agreement to provide a broader range of solutions for financial institutions and retailers though the deployment of Fujitsu’s Windows-based Prism software on Triton ATMs. Later that same year Triton launched the RT2000, a smaller low-cost thought-the-wall ATM, that was easy to install and easy to maintain. 120,000 ATMs were shipped to 17 countries around the world.
In 2005 Hurricane Katrina
provided a major challenge for Triton. Its headquarters and manufacturing plant on the Mississippi coast was shut down, and the entire coastal area evacuated. Triton’s Long Beach, Mississippi administrative, manufacturing and production facilities were back on-line within two weeks.
Triton opened a Memphis manufacturing and service facility in July 2006. In 2008 Triton launched the RL2000, a stand-alone ATM. Also that year Triton subsidiary, Calypso, began operations in Australia. On April 14, 2008, Calypso began the largest migration of ATMs to be completed in a single day — 2,808 ATMs.
In March 2009, Triton introduced the RL1600, a new off-premise ATM. The RL1600 was named the Convenience Store and Petroleum (CSP) magazine Product of the Year for 2009.
Also in March 2009, Triton made the decision to sell its Calypso processing operation in order to focus on ATM manufacturing, software development and support.
In September 2009, the company launched ATMGurus. Leveraging Triton's Memphis footprint, ATMGurus provides customers with multi- brand parts, repair and training support for their ATM estates.
In March 2010, Dover completed the sale of Triton to a group of private investors. The company is currently privately held.
