A point-of-sale (POS) system integrates your cash register into your business management systems: inventory, accounting,
and marketing. When you adopt a POS, you enhance the value of every transaction. PittGlobal will help you choose a new POS or manage an old one. Write to us at POS@pittglobal.com.
PittGlobal represents two major POS vendors, IBM and Microsoft. IBM offers both SurePOS and AnyPlace POS systems. Microsoft bought and improved the leading POS software in the US, Retail Management
System (RMS). The program relates well with the family of Microsoft
Dynamics financial software and is fully compatible with Intuit’s
popular QuickBooks accounting program for small businesses.
A full installation of a POS system requires both software and
hardware. Each checkout lane or cash register requires a
terminal. Then management of the entire set of
terminals, and related inventory and bookkeeping, requires aditional hardware and software.
A fully equipped cash register station includes the register, a small
printer, barcode reader, scale, POS data display, bankcard terminal,
debit card pinpad, and even more. You may want to configure stations
differently for your operation.
