POSDATA Group

What POSDATA Group does

POSDATA Group is a specialized North American payment technology distributor and deployment partner founded in 1973 and headquartered in Gig Harbor, Washington. The company distributes payment terminals from major manufacturers including Ingenico, Verifone, PAX, Datecs, Equinox, ID TECH, and oona, serving as a value-added intermediary between OEMs and channel partners (VARs, ISVs, payment processors, and resellers) that deliver into retail, hospitality, telecom retail, and specialty verticals. POSDATA operates a 50,000 sq ft deployment and logistics facility in Louisville, KY, situated adjacent to the UPS central hub, and runs a PCI PIN and P2PE certified Key Injection Facility (KIF) that holds more than 400 processor and acquirer keys (Chase, Elavon, First Data/Fiserv, Global, TSYS, Worldpay).

The company's revenue model combines hardware distribution (pass-through sales of certified terminals and accessories such as Havis, Spacepole, and Studio Proper stands), professional services (device configuration, software loading, staging, kitting, and nationwide deployment logistics), recurring managed services (advance exchange device replacement and inventory pool management with up to 100 exchanges per day), and certified key injection services. Pricing is quote-based under multi-year contracts with channel partners; no public pricing is disclosed.

POSDATA was acquired by Levata in a transaction announced in July 2024 and completed in June 2026, operating thereafter as Levata's Payments Group. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and serves 800+ enterprise customers across the United States through indirect channel distribution. Competitive advantages center on regulatory certifications, deep manufacturer relationships (25+ years with Ingenico), key inventory breadth, and operational scale at the Louisville depot.
