What is a Point of Sale?
Point of Sale software is retail software used in a wide range of industries to calculate sales, manage stock and operate the cash drawer; it is the computerised cash register. It improves performance and reduces errors and theft over the traditional cash registers.
As businesses grow, so does its inventory and staff. Therefore the business requires a comprehensive system to manage the resources better and avoid fraud.
There are different levels of point of sale software depending on the level of business. A multi chained supermarket will have a more comprehensive system than a boutique.
