Which Point-of-Sale systems should I purchase for my small operation?
By: Rick Gossett
I want to use a bar code system for pricing merchandise in the store. I am researching these Point-of-Sale systems, looking for ease of implementation and affordability, for a small operation. Do you have any advice?
Answer:
Point-of-Sale System Options: We do not know the details of your business, but Point-of-Sale (POS) systems and software applications are effective to integrate with your sales, accounting, and inventory control software applications. Many companies offer retail POS systems or software that read bar code; however, accounting and inventory control applications must be integrated or linked with any POS system or software, which affects your POS system or software solutions. Also, your accounting and inventory needs and budget will impact the type of POS system you select.
While you can research POS systems and software yourself, we recommend that you begin your comparative research by reviewing the products offered by your local POS vendors or authorized resellers who can sell, install, and service the systems. Local vendors and your local accountant can work with you to assess your needs and help you select a system that meets your budget constraints. In addition, used POS equipment can often be purchased from dealers or at liquidation auctions at a 50 to 75% discount to new retail prices. We do not have any particular vendor recommendation for your business, but you can locate various POS system and software providers through Internet websites like the following:
