POS Deployment Methods On-premise: A traditional software model. Purchase one or more licenses upfront for the software and install it on your computer system or servers. Youre in charge of updating and maintaining the software, which may require dedicated IT personnel for larger organizations. Cloud-based: Also known as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) POS solutions. You access and support the system via the internet. Dont worryif your internet goes down, most systems track sales and sync them once youre back online.
Hardware Component Register screen: Standard monitor that displays the product database. Enables other functions, such as employee clock-in and viewing sales reports. Tabletsespecially iPadsare popular for replacing bulkier monitors. Barcode scanner: Automates the checkout process. Scanning barcodes pulls product info and adds it to the checkout total. Barcodes, when scanned, may also integrate with inventory management systems to automatically adjust stock levels. Credit card reader: Secure and EMV-compliant credit card readers are extremely important for retailers since the EMV payment standard went live in October 2015, and non-compliant retailers face potentially huge losses on account of fraud liability. Receipt printer: Email and text receipts are gaining popularity, but paper receipts are still important for providing customers with a quick snapshot of their purchase. You can print employee sales totals, hours and other information. Cash drawer: It may fade away in the years to come, but cash is still king. And as long as it is, you need a secure place to store cash for transactions. Additionally, there are no credit card fees tied to accepting cash.
