SCANSOURCE ADDS POS-X TO ITS OFFERING TO HELP RESELLERS REACH NEW MARKETS

GREENVILLE, SC - March 18, 2008 - ScanSource POS and Barcoding, a leading international value-added distributor of point-of-sale (POS) and automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) systems and solutions, has added POS-X to its line card to distribute the company’s complete line-up of POS hardware. POS-X has created a business model and solution set that enables resellers to address a tier of customers that heretofore have been somewhat under-serviced – the Tier Three, smaller end user.

POS-X’s bundled solutions include barcode scanners, cash drawers, receipt printers, terminals, monitors, and software – manufactured largely for smaller retail and restaurant operations. The breadth of products ensure resellers can deliver fully integrated, pre-configured

POS solutions to their customer base with guaranteed compatibility. POS-X’s high-quality products deliver a durability and functionality that are necessary in these key vertical markets.

“POS-X has done an excellent job of developing a business model that enables resellers to sell and support an end-user segment that has been difficult to service at a profitable level,” said Jeff Yelton, president of ScanSource POS and Barcoding. “We’re excited to wrap our value-added services and logistical expertise around POS-X’s solutions and support offerings.”

“POS-X has built a very strong following of VARs by efficiently producing a quality product line that focuses on the core needs of our POS customers – at a customer service level that is unparalleled in the industry,” said Karl Schoessler, director of operations and business development for POS-X, Inc. “As the industry leader in distribution, we are excited about the additional customer service and logistical advantages ScanSource can offer our resellers.”
