cynergi|suite at TRIB Meeting of the Minds 2026

February 25, 2026 | By: High Touch Technologies

What’s Next for Your RTO Business?

Every year at TRIB Meeting of the Minds, the conversations get sharper.

Operators are asking tougher questions. Compliance requirements are tightening. Customers expect faster, more digital experiences. Meanwhile, security threats are becoming more sophisticated.

The real question isn’t whether the rent-to-own industry is evolving. It’s whether your business is ready to evolve with it.

At the 2026 TRIB Meeting of the Minds, we’ll provide a strategic preview of where cynergi|suite is headed next. If you’re serious about the long-term performance, security, and scalability of your RTO business, this is a session you won’t want to miss.

Join Us: 2026 High Touch/cynergi|suite Users Meeting

Wednesday, March 4 | 3:00 – 4:00 p.m.

This year’s cynergi|suite Users Meeting isn’t just a product update session—a focused discussion on modernization, infrastructure, compliance readiness, and the architectural decisions shaping the next generation of cynergi|suite.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

What Is Project E?

Let’s talk about cynergi|suite’s foundation.

If your software platform is the engine of your RTO operation, legacy code can become a source of friction over time by slowing development, limiting flexibility, and increasing maintenance complexity.

Project E is not a cosmetic refresh. It is a deliberate, long-term architectural modernization of cynergi|suite.

During our Users Meeting, our Development team will provide an update on progress and preview early looks of cynergi|suite’s new Inventory module, Customer module, and Agreement Wizard.

We’re keeping details high-level for now, but if you’ve been wondering what the modern store-side experience will look like inside cynergi|suite, you won’t want to miss this session.

Users Meeting Preview: Product Updates

Integrated Home Office/Accounting

Integrated HO/A continues to evolve as the financial backbone of cynergi|suite.

Recent enhancements to Integrated HO/A include:

  • Bulk distribution imports
  • 1099 vendor form printing
  • AP Payment Report exports
  • Enhanced customizable financial statements (store-level or consolidated)
  • Expanded deployment flexibility
  • Ongoing accuracy refinements

Single Sign-On (SSO)

Single Sign-On comes first by design.

SSO is the secure framework that connects legacy cynergi|suite functionality, new Project E store-side modules, and Integrated Home Office/Accounting into one cohesive environment. Before new modules expand across the platform, this authentication layer must be in place to unify access, strengthen protection, and support long-term scalability.

During our Users Meeting, we’ll walk through the rollout timeline and what activation will look like for your stores. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Individual Credentials. No more shared logins. Each user signs in with their own email address.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Stronger protection to support PCI compliance and modern security standards.

  • Operational Continuity. Agreements, payments, inventory, workflows—everything continues as normal.

Think of SSO as installing a secure, modern access system before expanding the building—it protects what you have today while preparing you for what’s next.

Nickle Rounding

With penny production halted and distribution limited, cash-handling guidance is evolving.

Nickel Rounding within cynergi|suite introduces configurable, controlled functionality that allows you to adapt without disrupting operations.

Key capabilities include:

  • Cash-only application (electronic payments remain unaffected)
  • Store-level configuration options
  • Symmetrical, up, or down rounding controls

This new feature isn’t just about rounding change—it’s about staying prepared as regulations shift, without introducing reconciliation headaches or compliance risk.

We’ll walk through practical scenarios during the session, so you understand exactly how it impacts daily processing.

Critical Technology Updates

At TRIB Meeting of the Minds 2026, we’ll outline important EOL considerations and what you should be planning for now.

  • Windows 10. Microsoft support ended October 14, 2025. After that date, no security updates or patches have been provided, creating an elevated risk for stores running unsupported systems.
  • Firewall Devices. Certain legacy firewall models, including SonicWalls and Fortinet 60Es, are reaching end-of-life, meaning no firmware updates, security patches, or vendor support. Unsupported firewalls create serious exposure to emerging threats. As legacy firewalls reach End-of-Life, we’ve secured exclusive pricing on Fortinet security appliances to make proactive upgrades more accessible.

Exclusive Cybersecurity Risk Assessment for TRIB Attendees

Protecting your business requires more than software alone—it requires understanding risk visibility.

At Booth 425, TRIB attendees can take advantage of an exclusive discounted full Cybersecurity Risk Assessment, including:

  • Comprehensive Vulnerability Review. We evaluate your network, systems, SaaS applications, and data exposure to identify weaknesses across your IT environment.
