Essential Signs Is It Time to Upgrade Your POS
System?
2
POS systems are much more than transaction
execution machines today. Thanks to rapid
advances in Omni-channel marketing technology,
POS systems serve as an effective means to study
customer behavioural history and customer
loyalty.
3
However, as the technology improves, the need for
old and obsolete systems to upgrade becomes an
inevitable necessity for businesses relying on
POS for their retail transactions and point of
sale operations.

• That said, here are some common questions to ask
  yourself in order to determine how well your POS
  system works currently and if you need to
  upgrade.
• Do you have to be at you store to access your
  POS?
• During peak hours, does your system make
  operations easier or more difficult?

5

• Are you spending significant time in updating,
  maintaining and troubleshooting your system?
• Do you have to manage varied business operations
  like inventory and sales through different
  applications?
• Is it easy to make changes to product prices,
  items and other data across all of the connected
  workstations?

6

• Does your system provide you real-time visibility
  of customer data and statics irrespective of the
  channel?

7

• Can you use and manage customer information like
  email, loyalty programs, and other aspects
  conveniently?
• Are long queues of customers a common sight at
  your point of sale?
• Are you spending more time than you should in
  resolving customer queries?

8

• Have you fallen victim to data theft or a credit
  card fraud recently?
• Is your business experiencing a constant decrease
  in customer acquisition and retention rates

9
Asking yourself all these questions and others
that relate to the function and effectivity of
your POS system helps you to determine if your
current system is actually profitable to your
business.
10
In addition, it is important to get deeper into
these questions and existing point of sale issues
by involving your staff in the process. Ask
your staff what they feel about the system and
what interests and frustrates them the most in
the system while they're operating it.
11
Once you have answers to these questions and
additional information about your POS system, you
can begin your search to find Vend POS Hardware
online or other POS accessories and units for
your needs.

Conclusion
As much as beneficial it is to have a POS system
deployed in your store, working on an outdated
point-of-sale system can put your operational
performance and business productivity at stake.
Being reluctant to upgrading your POS systems now
will only drain your money and time in the
future. So, before you buy cash register
wholesale online or a whole new POS system on a
whim, look for signs of sterility in your old POS
system so that you can invest your money on a
right solution and reap the most out of it.
