TSplus Bolsters China Presence with Distribution Partnerships
Event summary
- TSplus executives, including Founder Dominique Benoit and COO Henri Merlin, visited China in April 2026 to strengthen partnerships.
- The company reinforced its existing partnership with Cogito Software, a key distributor in China and neighboring Asian markets.
- TSplus expanded its distribution network by partnering with QAST Software Group, a software importer and distributor offering localization and marketing services.
- The initiatives aim to accelerate sales, expand market reach, and address demand for secure remote access solutions in China.
The big picture
TSplus is doubling down on the Asia-Pacific market, specifically China, to diversify its revenue streams and compete with larger, US-based remote access providers. This strategy reflects a broader trend of European software companies seeking growth in emerging markets to offset slower growth in established economies. The reliance on local partners highlights the challenges of navigating China’s unique business environment and regulatory constraints.
What we're watching
- Market Penetration
- The success of TSplus’s expansion hinges on Cogito and QAST’s ability to navigate China’s complex regulatory landscape and competitive software market, potentially limiting adoption rates.
- Partner Alignment
- TSplus’s reliance on Cogito and QAST creates a dependency; misalignment in sales strategies or a shift in partner priorities could impede growth.
- Geopolitical Risk
- Increased geopolitical tensions between Europe (where TSplus is based) and China could introduce unforeseen barriers to operations and market access, impacting the long-term viability of these partnerships.
