Ease of use

You should be looking for a POS system that has easy to use hardware and software. Avoid POS systems that are too complex and overwhelming. You don’t want to be spending time training new employees on a complex system.

Cloud-based system

Having a cloud-based system should be at the top of your list. Not only will this backup your information, but it will also allow you to automatically update your system, so you’ll always have the latest software and features.

Remote business management

It’s important to have all your information available to you, wherever you need it. Many POS systems have an app that integrates with their software. That way, you can have all the information with you on the go.

Detailed sales reporting

Any POS system will report your sales, but some will detail your best selling items and categories, as well as show costs and margins so you can measure the effectiveness of your pricing. Make sure you’re finding reports that you can export as well, so you can review them at a later time.

Secure payments

Any time you are accepting payments, there is a risk factor associated with it. Data security should be one of your top priorities, as it gives you and your customers peace of mind.

Here are a few other important factors to consider when choosing a POS system:

• Initial Setup Cost
• Payment processing costs
• Other fees related to processing
• Equipment costs and rental fees
• Software fees
• Software features
• Mobility and size
• Ability to accept chip cards and mobile payments
