Sharp Electronics

What Sharp Electronics does

Sharp Electronics, operating in Sweden as Sharp Business Systems Sverige AB, is the Nordic regional entity of Japan's Sharp Corporation (acquired by Foxconn in 2016). The company sells a broad portfolio of B2B technology solutions to organizations across Sweden and roughly 18 European countries, spanning four pillars: document and print solutions (laser printers, MFPs, production presses such as the BP-1200S/C and BP-1360M/1250M, and Managed Print Services including Synappx Cloud Print); visual and meeting room technology (interactive Big Pad displays, LED walls and digital signage integrated with Smartsign/Yodeck, Windows Collaboration Displays, and Microsoft Teams Rooms video conferencing); IT solutions (24/7 IT support, IT security, cloud services including Microsoft 365, Microsoft Copilot integration, and network solutions); and POS/retail systems (cash registers, card terminals, digital shelf labels, kitchen display systems, and visitor management).

Underlying technology combines proprietary Sharp hardware (printers, displays, LED, POS terminals) with software platforms such as the Synappx cloud print suite and the SharpONE Partner Portal, layered on top of Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams ecosystems. The business model is hybrid: one-time hardware sales across printers, displays, LED walls and POS equipment; recurring managed services for print, IT support and security; software subscriptions for cloud print, digital signage and Microsoft-anchored productivity; and professional services for implementation and consulting. Go-to-market combines direct sales to enterprise and public-sector accounts with authorized dealer channels (e.g., Atlantic, Tomorrow's Office in the US) and a partner shop for resellers, supported by digital marketing through LinkedIn, YouTube and a Swedish-language blog/SEO presence. Customer segments span SMB retail and food service to enterprise accounts such as Interflora (530 stores) and Helsingborg Arena & Scen AB.
