Kassen Schwarz GmbH

What Kassen Schwarz GmbH does

Kassen Schwarz GmbH, operating under the consumer-facing brand 'der Kassenprofi' (legal name: Matthias Schwarz | Kassensysteme), is a sole proprietorship based in Augsburg, Germany that sells, installs, maintains, repairs, programs, and leases point-of-sale (POS) cash register systems and payment terminals. The company serves small and medium-sized businesses in the hospitality and retail sectors — including hotels, restaurants, cafés, guesthouses, and ice cream parlors — within the Augsburg region and surrounding areas of Bavaria.

The product portfolio is hardware-centric and multi-brand, comprising Duratec cash registers (S12, S14, S15 plus Bonvito and Posmatic variants), Sharp electronic cash registers (ER-A 411, ER-A 421, XE-A 207, XE-A 217), Quorion QTouch touchscreen terminals (8", 10", 15"), and Ratio-Tec cash-handling accessories (banknote validators, banknote and coin counters, money scales). Software layers include the Duratec APP mobile companion and Duratec Control management module. Duratec products are positioned as 100% compliant with the German Kassengesetz 2020 and TSE technical security device requirements.

Commercially, the business runs an owner-led, direct-sales model out of a physical showroom at Wellenburger Straße 9 in Augsburg, with no e-commerce channel and no third-party reseller network. Customers contact the company via phone or email and visit the showroom to inspect systems. Revenue is generated from one-time hardware sales, recurring professional services (maintenance, repair, programming, installation), and equipment leasing. The business has no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed headcount beyond the 11-50 employee range, operating entirely under owner Matthias Schwarz as Geschäftsführer.

Expansion highlights3 records

Direct peers

• SumUp: European mobile POS and payment-terminal provider with strong German presence. Competes for the same SMB retail and hospitality checkout wallet, but as a cloud/mobile-first disruptor rather than an on-premise register reseller.
• Gastro-MIS GmbH: German POS and cash register provider focused on the gastronomy/hospitality vertical. Similar SMB hospitality target market and TSE-compliance expertise, making it a directly comparable regional competitor.
• Lightspeed Commerce: Global cloud POS provider with a German sales footprint serving retail and hospitality SMBs. Competes for the same end-customer wallet with a different delivery model (cloud SaaS vs. on-premise hardware + service).
• Vectron Systems AG: German manufacturer of POS systems targeting the same hospitality and bakery/butcher SMB segment. Vectron is a more vertically integrated competitor with its own hardware and software, but competes for the same Augsburg-area hospitality customers Kassen Schwarz serves.
• Orderbird GmbH: Munich-based iPad/cloud POS provider for restaurants and cafés in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Competes for the same SMB hospitality customers that Kassen Schwarz serves, but with a SaaS model rather than on-premise hardware.
• Pyramid Computer GmbH: German manufacturer of POS and kiosk hardware targeting retail and hospitality. Overlaps with Kassen Schwarz's product categories (POS terminals, accessories) and competes for the same end customers via German resellers.

Broad incumbents

• Sharp Electronics (POS Division): One of Kassen Schwarz's core hardware suppliers (ER-A 411, ER-A 421, XE-A 207/217). Sharp also sells direct and through other German resellers, making it both a vendor and a partial competitor for the same end customers.
• Toshiba Tec Germany: Global POS hardware manufacturer and solutions provider with a German subsidiary. Overlaps with Kassen Schwarz's POS terminal and retail-checkout categories, serving similar SMB and enterprise customers.
• Casio Europe (POS): Major global POS hardware vendor with a German market presence. Overlaps with Kassen Schwarz's product categories and competes for the same retail/hospitality SMB customers via its own dealer network.
• Datev eG: Large German cooperative providing software and services to SMBs including retail and hospitality tax/compliance tools. An adjacent incumbent whose POS-adjacent offerings compete for the same German SMB wallet.
