EPOS isn't the sexiest of subjects, but choosing the right EPOS system and supplier is critical to the successful running of your retail business.

This lens is meant as a starting block for small and medium retailers looking to find out more about EPOS.

What is EPOS? 

An explanation for the uninitiated

EPOS stands for 'Electronic Point Of Sale'. It's a term to describe modern-day computerised till systems.

Old cash registers (both mechanical and electronic) have been superceeded by EPOS. An 'EPOS System' refers to the whole system surrounding the retailing process; the hardware, software, proceedures and so on.

Advantages of EPOS 

EPOS brings many benefits to retailers. Here are just a few...
  • Reduce staff error
  • Reduce staff FRAUD
  • Audit money and stock
  • Track sales and trends
  • Speed up the checkout and reduce queues
  • Create systems for your staff to follow - cross selling (would you like fries with that?), upselling (do you want to go large?) and force staff to only accept certain returns
  • Lots of reports available - make your accountant happy!
