Two reportedly non-POS players are already buying in this niche. BestMoney, reportedly a finance comparison site, holds 15.38% of placements at #2, and Locus Robotics, reportedly a non-POS advertiser, is running a 'bofu_deployment' campaign inside it. The auction is loose enough for cross-category buyers to enter, so a properly positioned POS vendor can outbid them on their own turf.
A real specialty POS vendor can plausibly displace the current leaders in Point of Sale & Retail Tech on ChatGPT, because the top three slots are held by a reportedly restaurant-focused vendor, a reportedly finance-class buyer, and an unverified vertical, not specialty POS competitors.
If you sell POS or retail software, your real competition on ChatGPT is not the next POS vendor on the leaderboard. It is a reportedly restaurant-focused vendor, a reportedly finance-class buyer, an unattributed redirect bidder, and a reportedly non-POS campaign that are already capturing demand that should belong to a specialty POS pitch.
