PayTech Awards Shortlists TNS for Best Business Payments System

We’re proud to announce that the PayTech Awards 2025 has shortlisted TNS Complete Commerce in its Best Business Payments System – Payment Acceptance & Collection category. 

This recognition highlights the innovation, security, and scalability behind TNS’ end-to-end Complete Commerce offering, which is transforming how businesses manage payments and connectivity in today’s complex landscape. 

Why Complete Commerce Caught the Judges Attention 

Enterprises today are facing a multitude of challenges, including the changing landscape of consumer behavior, network resiliency and the need to keep up with regulatory and compliance requirements.  

Additionally, the modernization of tech stacks and the shift towards using cloud-based solutions can create complexity and increase costs as business needs continue to evolve.  

Complete Commerce helps solve those pain points by bundling a range of services and providing a single partner with a unified view of business operations. By replacing fragmented vendor relationships with a single managed service provider, TNS simplifies the payments ecosystem and helps enterprises reduce costs, increase uptime, and stay compliant with the latest security standards. 

Real-World Impact 

One of the best examples of Complete Commerce in action, as recognized by the PayTech Awards, comes from our work with a leading fuel retailer operating over 15,000 stores . The customer faced six major challenges, including outdated infrastructure, limited payment acceptance, and rising security risks. By deploying Complete Commerce, the retailer: 

• Accepted more ways to pay, including fleet cards, QR codes, digital wallets, and loyalty programs 

• Rolled out over 8,000 Android payment terminals across 700+ sites in just nine months—well ahead of industry norms 

• Introduced multimedia advertising at terminals to drive customer engagement 

• Simplified operations by consolidating five vendors into one unified solution 

• Decreased software upgrade times from several hours to just 15 minutes with remote, zero-touch provisioning 

• Achieved P2PE and PCI-DSS certification to significantly reduce PCI compliance burden and enhance security 

The result? A modern, agile payments infrastructure that supports growth, accelerates innovation, and provides a future-proof foundation for scaling across borders. 

Designed for Growth, Built for Security 

TNS’ global, acquirer-agnostic private network supports real-time payment message transmission across multiple endpoints, enabling our customers to seamlessly integrate new methods of payment and quickly respond to market trends. With certifications including PCI DSS, PCI P2PE, PCI PIN, and support for ATEX-compliant environments, Complete Commerce delivers unparalleled data protection and compliance coverage. 

For businesses like our featured fuel retailer, the shift to Complete Commerce means they can now focus less on infrastructure and more on what matters—serving customers and growing their brand. 

Looking Ahead 

Being shortlisted for ‘Best Business Payments System– Payment Acceptance & Collection’ at the PayTech Awards is a testament to the innovation, dedication, and real-world impact behind Complete Commerce. As we look to the future, we remain committed to helping retailers and enterprises around the world navigate the complexities of payments and connectivity with confidence and ease. 

We thank our customers, partners, and the PayTech Awards for this recognition and look forward to continuing to lead the way for innovative solutions that are secure, trusted and resilient.
