Insights

This strategic acquisition by PDI Technologies of Comdata Merchant Solutions represents a significant expansion in the point-of-sale (POS) technology sector for truck stops and commercial fueling locations. The deal strengthens PDI's market position by integrating Comdata's specialized POS systems with PDI's existing retail solutions. Key strategic elements:

  • PDI gains Comdata's POS hardware, software and systems infrastructure
  • Comdata retains its core fuel card and payment acceptance network
  • PDI becomes an approved provider for Comdata transactions
