TST is not a bad company as I have said many times David, just one that thinks plodding along is acceptable. Where as my YU holding has basically gone into orbit and one fella investor like myself , managed to build a decent size stake there at below a quid, I must add the lucky guys holding is greater then mine .

I think you're starting to lose the plot. I'm not a salesmen & why would I put myself forward any way, but clearly if you have decent products like TST do have & ones that should save a company quite a few dollars, then if you're not penetrating your markets something is clearly wrong. So if you're so happy & so confident in the way things are, then why are not only you but others not buying the stock?

"So surely anyone looking in from the outside should be able to see where improvements need to be made and made fast"

Go on, offer yourself to the company to do it, since clearly you think it is a fairly simple task for you to do.

Btw
Microlise who do tracking units & route planning &...
Their organic turnover was up 12%. Surely very unacceptable in your eyes.

So, after revolutionising turnover at TST, you could pop over & 'fix' Microlise as well !

Really?, surely Mr Hardy should be addressing the problem whilst earning in excess of 200k. If we can't make above inflation T/O in what basically has been a boom time, what chance do we stand If the market starts to turn. Great products and team who fit them seem's to have loads of compliments. Coupled with that the products basically save your company loads of dollars and can make you highly efficient and yet we struggle to increase sales. So surely anyone looking in from the outside should be able to see where improvements need to be made and made fast.

Agree ,not identical and both have different strings to their bows. However, they run a fleet management system and it to be fair looks impressive, but we all know impressive doesn't sell your product, good salesmen do.

Does TST provide any vehicle tracking units in co-operation with vehicle insurance companies (as TRAK does) ?
So vehicles can pay insurance based on the number of miles they do etc, & younger drivers can perhaps be monitored to ensure they drive in a prudent manner (monitoring speed, change of speed & revs), or pay a cheaper insurance price if they drive prudently.

I hadn't realised or didn't think that TST competed in that sector.

The TST business in the fuel delivery sector is, for example, completely different than what TRAK do imo. And TST operates in other sectors as well. TST is giving a recommended route to the driver for a number of deliveries & recording the quantity delivered at each location & feeding that into the data system & initiating/doing the billing process for each deliver & automating a lot of the process.
As far I see it is very different than what TRAK are doing.

Trakm8 today has had a TU that doesn't bode well for the sector. TST in far better shape then them no doubt about that, but need more contracts and now!

The buyback ultimately creates value but, the share is so illiquid that building of any size or selling is a huge downside. Today my beloved YU. Group has once again given huge rewards and I only wish i would have bought them instead of TST

I agree with a lot of what you've been saying over the last year and generally have similar thoughts, particularly of late with the TU, they should have just published in their usual timeframe. Ignoring a slower than hoped for second half the future still looks interesting. Only 275k shares bought so far, they have until end June to buy up to a further 575k. Expansion in N America is slow but to be expected, if traction there it could catapult them. Their clients appear to be getting bigger by the quarter and some are part of a much larger group. Having said that I'm not as hopeful as I would like to be that April will bring much further insight to growth...all a bit slow. Any further view on the buyback scenario?

...yes, we know you are not happy about the % growth in revenue being 7%, not high enough for you, so you say you want to sell & invest elsewhere.

Other posters also realise what the growth in revenue was, & roughly what inflation has been.

Yes, we got the message/point, however it gets boring when you keep repeating it.

Reading company accounts can be often confusing & not always straight forward. However, when one companies revenue isn't matching inflation that isn't a good sign as far as I'm concerned, especially when it has leading edge products for sale. Also to your earlier sarcastic post as to whether making large percentage gains isn't enough, well I have made two very acceptable observations and my only decision is to slowly move on & I think I general have been complimentary towards TST, it's just I feel my dollars will make me more elsewhere.

Can you consider to add the word "growth" & "total" to your post ?
So that it reads
...slowing in total revenue growth (+7%)....

Otherwise your post reads that revenue has fallen, whereas in fact it has risen.

The general point of your post, logical enough.

------
...imo recurring software/licence income is increasing....as it has been & was the company's stated plan. And helps increase the PBT, which is up 60%, so all good imo.

Be nice to see a higher number for the % revenue growth but that is a common feature at many UK listed shares. The company has said it will try to get sales outside the UK, & I think it has had some success, but it all takes time, & of course there is competition.

loathed to weigh in here but, we don't know enough yet, the slowing in revenue growth (+7%) may be hardware, which is much lower quality, certainly the pickup in margins would suggest that software revenues look good. However it may not be, we will have to wait for the full report.

Cheers davidosh, getting TST on to Mello would be a great way of publicising TST's attractions.

I've also followed TST on Investor Meet to try and encourage them to present on that platform.

I am trying to get them on our next Mello results show which will certainly help raise awareness and even better if they could come and meet the investors in Chiswick in May at Mello24.

I am a large holder here already and to be honest I probably have 15 or so stocks that are even cheaper in these markets. Highlighting that you are selling may means others hold off from adding at this point but equally may help some build a position as very illiquid. Takes buyers and sellers to make a market.
