Welcome to your Point Of Sale website!

Point Of Sale (POS), is the place and time where retail customers find out the total amount to pay and the options of payment they have. Then will secure an invoice and make the payment. To ease the process and make it accurate, POS systems provide the ability to monitor sales and control inventory in real time, by using checkout counters.

So you want to start or expand your POS experience. Great! But start or expand from where? Software? Computer and hardware? Upgrades? Well, all approaches will work fine but let first re-discover your business, your customers, products and the services you offer.

Re-discovering your business

The best way we suggest is to ask yourself some simple questions about the nature of your business, your customers, your products and services. Such as:

How many customers do I serve?
How many invoices do I generate?
What size are my invoices?
Do I need a POS system?
What kind of products do I offer?
Do I need barcodes?
Do I need accounting, back-office, etc.?

With those questions and the answers in mind, It’ll be easy to choose the components you want.

Choose a POS software

Choosing a software is related to the business nature. For example:

Sample POS Software — Example: *Point Of Sale Software*

A restaurant is better served by a graphical POS software and usually there is no need for barcodes and the support for barcode scanners and barcode printers. A touch-screen computer and a receipt printer will do the most of the job.
A supermarket needs a barcoded POS system. Barcode scanners and sometimes barcode printers are must haves. Touch monitors and customer displays help a lot.
Most POS software systems offer simple and robust inventory, sales and reporting but few come with full accounting capabilities. So if you need accounting too, you should look for it in the software features.

Choose your hardware components

If you already own computers in your store, a few peripheral components should be added for better POS functionality. Otherwise it’s a good decision to purchase a specialized POS computer and a few peripherals. Some useful components are:

Receipt Printer
Barcode Scanner
Barcode Printer
Customer Display ( or a second monitor )
Cash Drawer
Payment Processor ( credit cards, etc. )

Put them all together

Putting the components together and installing the POS software is a hassle-free experience. Sometimes you will need expert advice and mostly can be found online. In case you don’t have time and/or the size of the system is big, you might employ a dedicated technician or hire an outside company.

Most companies offer total solutions when you purchase systems, including the software, hardware, initial training and support.

Enjoy the speed, accuracy and convenience

You’ve done it! Your Point Of Sale system is ready. Turn your system on and start entering products into it, then you could sell, print invoices, create daily or on demand reports and enjoy your automated sales system.
