Schöneck, Germany – According to the latest "Global POS Software 2025" report by the research and advisory firm Datos Insights, GK Software achieved the top global position for new point-of-sale (POS) software installations between July 2024 and June 2025. With a 10% share across eight retail segments, GK is the largest provider of new POS software deployments in the global retail technology market.
The company demonstrated particularly strong performance in the Middle East and Africa, capturing 49% of all new installations in the region. The company secured the top spot among all evaluated vendors, thanks to the fastest rollout in its history with South Africa’s largest retailer, the Shoprite Group.
GK also reaffirmed its leadership in Central and Eastern Europe. In the grocery sector, GK holds 25% of existing POS installations and delivers nearly one-third of all new installations.
These results highlight GK’s consistent customer-centric strategy as a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu.
