EPOS FAQs

ePOS is an abbreviation for Electronic Point-of-Sale. An ePOS system is a computerised till system commonly used in retail and hospitality environments. The ePOS system is a till system that will run software to help you control your business. Used correctly, it will help you control your costs, by tracking where your money is going. In addition to this it will help you increase your efficiency, and will allow you to manage your stock, your staff and your cash.

By definition, ePOS is an electronic point of sale. An ePOS solution uses computers or specialised terminals that can be combined with other hardware, such as barcode readers, cash draws etc. for accurately and instantly capturing the sale / transaction. POS is simply a basic point of sale source where verification takes place but immediate debit does not. ePOS systems and POS systems differ far more than most people would think, even if the difference in spelling is just one letter. Traditional point of sale systems will require delayed reconciliation and manual operations, and will not allow immediate debit for transactions. Also, ePOS systems are connected to the “outside world” and the internet, thereby allowing Chip and PIN payments and e-commerce operations. ePOS systems may therefore be plain software used on an e-commerce website, connected with warehouse operations software, allowing online sales.

An ePOS system from Wireless Terminal Solutions, will assist your business in stock management – with the ability to help highlight stock levels of top performing products so you can ensure you have adequate supplies. Stock control is one fantastic feature allowed by Electronic Points of Sale systems. In addition to this, it can also show you product lines that are not doing so well. The result is a smoother running operation that has an infrastructure of practical stock management.
