To help retailers get a quotation for a new POS system IPOS are now listed on Approved Index.

IPOS may provide complete touch screen till systems with a lease finance rental agreement which is a tax efficient way of investing in a new EPOS Solution to help manage your business.

A reliable and sophisticated POS (Point of Sale) system or EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale) system is essential for any sort of retail business and has many advantages over the conventional cash register. The moment a buyer reaches the cash register is the most critical point of the sale, and you don’t want anything to hinder the transaction or frustrate the customer. And obviously you want a POS system that will correctly calculate the till’s ingoings and outgoings, so your books balance at the end of the day.

A complete POS system consists of both hardware and software – the cash register and credit card processing system, and the electronic software that controls it. POS software allows you to monitor the day’s sales and collect the data on a computer for analysis. This ability to analyse and produce reports on your cash flow is the real selling point of a POS system, which is why they are generally an investment for large, high revenue businesses. Other benefits include:

· Correct pricing of items. All of your stock is inventoried in the POS system, so employees do not need to enter the price manually.

· Less chance of employee misuse, since all activity is monitored.

· Reduced paperwork, since all data is recorded electronically by the POS software.

IPOS will be able to install the POS terminal, computer hardware and the accompanying software. Even if you already have a compatible PC, you may want to buy a new system since this makes it easier for us when it comes to maintenance. IPOS will also offer a quick training course so your employees can start using their new POS system as soon as possible.

Open “point-of-service” systems are tools that have been designed with the future in mind. Not only will they help reduce direct labor and training costs in the present, but as a business grows, expands, and evolves they will adapt to future generations of technology.
