Profi Software

What Profi Software does

Profi Software Engineering GmbH is a German private limited company (GmbH) headquartered in Kuppenheim near Rastatt, Baden-Württemberg, that develops and sells vertical software exclusively for the bakery retail industry. Its product portfolio spans four core solution areas: bakery-specific business management software (Bäckerei-Software covering warehouse and inventory management), bakery cash register / POS systems (Bäckerei Kassen), full bakery ERP systems (Bäckerei ERP Systeme), and workforce scheduling software (Personaleinsatzplanung). The flagship offering is CashPro, a touch-based POS terminal designed for counter and service-area use in bakery branches, which can operate standalone or integrate with external systems via the Cash Pro Connect module. Specialized POS hardware (BackNet Kassenhardware) is co-developed and sold through its channel partner.

The company's technology stack is purpose-built for the bakery vertical rather than adapted from horizontal ERP or POS platforms, with domain-specialized features such as integrated inventory and warehouse workflows, branch-level POS optimized for bakery counter operations, and employee scheduling tied to retail shift patterns. All solutions are developed in-house and sold alongside dedicated hardware. The company holds no disclosed patents or trademarks in the input data, has no API or SDK documentation published, and reports no third-party integrations beyond the Cash Pro Connect bridge.

Commercially, Profi Software operates a direct-to-consumer motion supplemented by an exclusive channel relationship with BackNet Entwicklungs- und Support GmbH, to which all product inquiries are referred. Revenue is generated through one-time software licensing and hardware sales; no subscription, SaaS, or recurring pricing model is described, and pricing is not publicly disclosed. The end customer base is concentrated in the German bakery SMB segment, with documented operational focus on the Baden-Württemberg region. The company is GDPR-compliant and actively operating, with Gabriele Kottisch serving as legal representative.

Broad incumbents

• Lightspeed Commerce Inc. Global cloud POS and commerce platform serving retail and hospitality SMBs. While not bakery-specialised, it competes for the same multi-branch German food retailers considering modern, integrated POS replacements of legacy systems like Profi's.
• Bizerba SE & Co. KG: German industrial scale, POS, and food processing hardware provider with deep bakery presence. Directly comparable on the POS hardware side (BackNet Kassenhardware equivalent) and competes for the same German bakery counter technology refresh budgets.
• Toast Inc. US-based restaurant POS and software platform expanding into European food retail. Comparable as a full-stack restaurant/food retail software provider whose feature roadmap and capital base pose long-term competitive pressure on regional specialists like Profi.
• CSB-System AG: German ERP vendor specialising in food, beverage, and meat industries including bakery. Provides a much broader enterprise ERP suite versus Profi, but competes for the same bakery ERP/warehouse management budget at larger German Bäckerei chains.

Direct peers

• BackNet Entwicklungs- und Support GmbH: Profi's strategic development and sales/support partner, running the backnet.de platform that channels customer inquiries for Profi's bakery software and POS products. Operates as an extension of Profi's product ecosystem for the German Bäckerei market.
• Vectron Systems AG: German manufacturer of POS systems and software widely used in bakeries, cafés, and restaurants. Directly comparable hardware+software POS business serving the same German bakery counter workflows as Profi's CashPro and BackNet Kassenhardware.
• Orderbird AG: Berlin-based iPad POS provider for SMB hospitality and food retail in Germany. Competes for the same German bakery/restaurant POS customers that Profi serves, though with a cloud-first, modern delivery model versus Profi's on-premise approach.
• SumUp GmbH: European SMB payments and POS provider serving small retailers including bakeries. Competes for counter-side cash register and payment workflows that Profi's CashPro addresses, with broader payments-led reach across Germany.
• Gastro-MIS GmbH: German POS and merchandise management software vendor for bakeries and confectioners. Closely comparable SMB bakery software specialist operating in Germany with similar on-premise deployment and vertical specialisation as Profi.
• select.line GmbH: German SMB ERP and POS software vendor offering bakery-oriented modules. Comparable to Profi as a vertical-specific business software provider serving German trades and retail, including Bäckereien, with on-premise and hybrid deployment models.
