POS SYSTEMS
A POS (point of sale) system is a combination of hardware and software designed to process transactions, manage inventory and generate reports for business owners. They are used by small merchants, national and global retailers, hospitality businesses, petrol stations and more.
POS systems enable customers to pay quickly and efficiently by card or smartphone. The merchant can process POS payments and transactions safely and securely and access the data to understand their business better.
Components of a POS System
Usually, POS systems consist of three main components:
- Hardware
- Software
- Payment processor
Historically, the hardware components include:
- A card reader / POS terminal
- POS Cash register
- Barcode scanner
- Receipt printer
The POS systems software forms the backbone of the system, providing a user interface for transactions, as well as inventory management and reporting capabilities. The payment processor component ensures POS payments are processed securely and efficiently.
Traditional POS vs SmartPOS Devices
Traditional POS terminals enable you to process point of sale card payments and are connected to the rest of your payment infrastructure. They ensure payments are taken, processed and the funds deposited in your account. SmartPOS terminals incorporate smart technology through touchscreens, integrated payment apps, and on-device reporting.
An increasing number of businesses are opting for the SmartPOS setup to efficiently process payments and enhance their operational efficiency. SmartPOS Devices are available in different sizes to fit your space and a range of formats to give you the look and functionality you want. Incorporate smart technology through touchscreens, integrated payment apps, and on-device reporting.
