The capabilities of Point of Sale (POS) systems go far beyond supporting sales transactions. Today’s systems have a wide range of benefits, including inventory management, securely storing customer data, and simplifying loyalty programs.
A retail POS system typically includes a computer, monitor, cash drawer, receipt printer, customer display, and a barcode scanner. POS systems can also include a weight scale, integrated credit card processing system, a signature capture device, and a customer pin pad device.
