SCSC

Scansource, Inc.

A technology distributor based in Greenville, South Carolina, ScanSource connects roughly 25,000 channel sales partners with hardware, SaaS, and cloud services—from mobility and payment devices to connectivity and managed AI—across the U.S., Canada, and Brazil. Founded in 1992 by Mike Baur and Steve Owings to serve resellers of barcode scanners and point-of-sale gear, its name blends "scan" (its original barcode focus) with "source" (its role as a supply source). It went public barely a year after founding, and its Intelisys arm uses an agency model rather than buying inventory.
