What Features to Look for when Choosing the Best Retail POS System for your company.

Retail POS Hardware

  1. The first major question you have to ask yourself and your company- do you want a cloud based or a server based solution.
  2. The POS hardware can either be a mobile tablet or phone, or stationed terminal.
  3. Although most businesses are uniquely customized but they generally include a tablet and stand, cash drawer, bar-code scanner, and receipt printer.
  4. Some POS software providers have proprietary POS hardware that you are required to use while some providers let you use 3rd party hardware components.

A retail point-of-sale (POS) system consists of POS software and hardware that enables retailers to ring up customer orders, record payments and perform several other operational tasks.

When choosing a retail POS system, look for essential features like inventory management, employee management, real-time reporting and retail-centric features like customer management, loyalty programs, and matrix inventory tracking.

Essential Features of Retail POS Systems

  • Payment processor compatibility
  • Product matrix, inventory tracking and purchase ordering
  • Data recording, reporting and analytics
  • Customer management and loyalty programs
  • Employee management (function, data access and time tracking for payroll)
