This news follows another major milestone in the second half of 2018 when Taulia achieved profitability under U.S. GAAP. Rene Ho, Taulia’s CFO said, “Many VC-backed companies never reach profitability. Now profitable as well as debt-free, Taulia is well capitalized to support our customers and to continue to innovate.”
Meanwhile, the last year has seen Taulia announce partnerships with new customers, including global mining group Rio Tinto, integrated chemicals and energy company Sasol and Australian mobile phone provider Telstra.

Taulia commenced with the $11 billion Pharmacy Early Payment scheme (PEPS). The agreement also provides early payment solutions to central government, local authorities and the National Health Service (NHS).
Taulia’s success in 2018 was underpinned by the company’s continuing commitment to technological innovation. Using a new AI-powered buyer user interface, customers can access the insights needed to make on-the-spot, real-time decisions, and thereby optimize discount rates and payment terms.
