ITC Systems represents itself as the source for “transaction control solutions for tomorrow.” The company designs, manufactures and implements card-based solutions to campuses for their micropayment transaction needs. Additionally the company maintains a healthy channel partner relationship with key resellers to the higher education market.

ITC Systems started in 1989 through the acquisition of a card systems group owned by Hudson’s Bay Vending in Toronto. From the beginning the company’s focus was on the campus market. “I saw an opportunity with regard to card systems in general and specifically for those applications that accepted coins for the small purchases,” says Cam Richardson, ITC’s president and CEO. As the company gained traction in the Canadian higher education and library markets, it began to design and manufacture its own products, both terminals and software.
