Cash transactions in a mobile world
For two decades, the PC has reigned supreme over POS solutions, operating as point of sale terminals that sit on counters and control various peripherals. However, the need for PC-centric solutions is waning as a more flexible POS model emerges.
Leveraging cloud and mobile technologies, this model supports thin client and IP-enabled components such as cash drawers and printers. The new model is more affordable, flexible and manageable, and significantly improves the shopping experience.
It’s a mobile world, after all, and tying the cash drawer to fixed POS stations no longer makes sense in settings where retailers want to offer the convenience of completing transactions at the “point of decision” — literally the place in the store where the customer gets the item and makes the decision to purchase — instead of making shoppers stand in line at a counter.
POS dealers stand to benefit from this new model, and the vast opportunities it creates to add value for customers in retail, restaurant, hospitality, and other verticals that use cash transactions. The model generates a new revenue stream and the opportunity for dealers to reinforce their roles as trusted advisors.
Savvy dealers that embrace the model will jump in early on what is sure to be a dominant POS trend.
