Beginner's Guide to a POS System
What Is a POS System?
A point of sale (POS) system is a hardware and software system that lets you check customers out and accepts multiple forms of payment, like cash, credit cards, and mobile payments. POS systems’ hardware can print receipts, scan barcodes, and store cash. POS systems’ software can track inventory, measure sales, and transfer funds to your business’ bank account.
Why do I need a POS System?
The volume of cash and credit cards that pass through a business each day make a POS system a necessity. Not only does it track every penny of your sales, many POS programs also act as credit card processors. This makes swiping credit cards more secure for both the customer and the business.
Can’t I just keep manually tracking my business’ finances?
Manual tracking may make mistakes, miss information or errors happen, and it takes a lot of time and effort to track each and every transaction. With POS, you're not just tracking purchases but can save a lot of time taking tasks in a few seconds from billing to return filing like invoicing, inventory management, business accounting, expense management, purchases recording, customer loyalty management, customer feedback, etc.
