What is a Cash Register Called Now? FAVORPOS
What is a cash register called now? The simple answer is: Point of Sale (POS) system. While cash register might still be used colloquially, it no longer accurately describes the technology used in today's businesses. Modern POS systems handle much more than just cash transactions.
The Evolution from Cash Register to POS System
* Limited Functionality: Traditional cash registers primarily recorded cash transactions and provided a simple receipt.
* Expanded Capabilities: Modern POS systems offer inventory management, sales tracking, employee management, customer relationship management (CRM), and much more. They integrate with various payment processors, accepting credit/debit cards, mobile payments, and gift cards.
* Technology Advancement: POS systems utilize sophisticated software and hardware, often integrating with cloud-based services for enhanced data analysis and accessibility. This stands in stark contrast to the electromechanical nature of older cash registers.
Types of Modern POS Systems
* Cloud-based POS: Data is stored and accessed remotely via the internet, offering flexibility and accessibility.
* On-Premise POS: Software and data are stored locally on a server within the business. Offers more control but less flexibility.
* Mobile POS (mPOS): Portable systems often using tablets or smartphones, ideal for businesses with mobile operations (e.g., food trucks, pop-up shops).
* All-in-One POS: Integrated hardware and software solution, minimizing setup and configuration complexities.
Key Features of Modern POS Systems
* Payment Processing: Support for multiple payment methods, including EMV, contactless payments, and mobile wallets.
* Inventory Management: Real-time tracking of stock levels, assisting with ordering and preventing stockouts.
* Sales Reporting and Analytics: Detailed sales data allows for informed business decisions and performance tracking.
* Customer Relationship Management (CRM): Tools to build customer loyalty through targeted marketing and personalized interactions.
* Employee Management: Features to manage employee schedules, track performance, and process payroll.
