- The replacement of Technical Security Equipment (TSE) in Germany’s POS industry will be a multi-year process, with devices expiring and needing replacement from 2025 through 2028, depending on activation date.
- Retailers will face continuous replacement waves, not a single deadline, requiring long-term planning, ongoing support, and proactive communication.
- Replacement options include installing new hardware TSEs, switching to cloud TSE solutions, or using hybrid models, with cloud TSEs offering easier management and scalability.
- Manufacturers and retailers should analyze their installed base, decide on replacement strategies, communicate clearly with customers, define replacement timelines, and seek automation opportunities.
