What is a POS (point-of-sale) system and why is it a crucial piece to grow your business?
To start with, a point of sale is where customers make payment for the goods or services that they want to purchase from merchants. Point of sale systems handle the process — from calculating total payable amounts by customers to printing receipts.
Do you still remember those barcode scanners, receipt printers, and computer terminals that you’d normally see at checkout counters?
They are all part of a POS system.
These days, POS systems do more than just handle transactions. Merchants can use a POS system to update product catalogues, track inventory, view business insights, simultaneously monitor multiple stores, and even manage their employees.
A good POS system elevates the customer experience and optimizes business management, but it is certainly not the easiest to find. To save you the trouble, we have made a list of the best POS systems in Malaysia for you to check out.
