• NCR Corporation: Global POS hardware and software vendor whose hardware Poscom distributes across DACH. Overlapping ecosystem through the official distributor partnership and shared end customers in financial services and retail, but NCR operates at much larger scale and across software, services, and hardware globally.
• Office Depot Europe: European arm of the global office supplies retailer, distributing paper, stationery, and office consumables to businesses. Comparable in the paper, stationery, and office consumables wholesale and retail category where Poscom's copy paper, ribbons, and rolls overlap.
