What other technology is used in smart POS terminals?
Why create a smart POS machine system?
An automated POS system is typically designed to work like a checkout staffed by a person. Advanced tech is used to register when products are being scanned, for instance, while the smart setup can take users through to payment without any intervention from a member of staff.
But what makes this option so appealing? If you’re trying to sell this concept to your line manager, here are some reasons to try switching to retail automation solutions:
More options
- One of the main selling points of POS automation – flexibility
- Traditional tills can be replaced with self-service checkouts
- Link up sales to the main system while vendors are out and about. Smart retail solutions allow you to take your wares on the road.
All of this means you can plan for growth. Expanding your retail business is possible if you can reconfigure existing arrangements and services.
Retail on the go
We’ve already mentioned being out and about, but the significance of this can’t be overlooked – especially if you’re sending your wares to festivals or shows. Smart POS can make it easy to get sales without having to set up traditional tills and count change.
Frees up staff
If you’re introducing automated self-checkouts, you can free up your team and redeploy them around the store. This can be especially useful at peak times when there’s more footfall through your store.
Less room for error
Scanning products all day can be repetitive and, at times, tedious for those working on the tills. On traditional checkouts, till operators must tally everything at the end of the day, and frequently things don’t add up. This can be because a customer paid in loose change, or it could be that a note has fallen on the floor at some point.
These are things that can happen to anyone. But by updating to automated self-service checkouts and other smart POS systems, the machine counts everything for you, so you don’t lose out.
