When it comes time to choose a Point Of Sale (POS) system for your business, there are many important things to consider.

Firstly, you must consider the system's user interface and ease of use. Most systems offer the same features (i.e. product and inventory management, reporting, etc...) but with different interfaces. If the user interface is not simple to understand and use, it would cause confusions and frustrations when using the system. It would also give the managers and store owners a hard time when training staff, as well as give the staff a hard time when processing the customer products during the checkout process.

A second factor that you must put into consideration is the system's hardware. Some systems may come with a lower price, but will likely have no-name brand components that often break down only a few months later. Investing in good hardware ensures the lowest percentage of downtime and reduces maintenance and replacement costs.

Thirdly, it is important to understand that no one system has it all, and each system has its own unique set of features. For examples, while most traditional systems use a pole display to show the customers the prices of items as they are scanned or entered, some systems may have a full customer display (second screen) with advertising spaces. Another example is barcode printing on a standard laser or inkjet printer which will save the cost of a barcode printer.
