What is EPOS?

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.

This can be a little misleading as most POS (point of sale or purchase) solutions are electronic in this day and age. The difference between the two is typically the recording and updating of stock within the business. For example a POS system could be a standalone electronic till. This records the point of purchase, but does not automatically update the stock level for that product; this is done in a manual process. With an EPOS solution, the stock data is automatically updated, saving great time and increasing efficiency.

Is an EPOS system for my business?

EPOS solutions are typically used by businesses that have regular sales, e.g. retailers, hotels, wholesalers etc. Any business that maintains stock or provides sellable services, can benefit from an EPOS solution. Such solutions offer fast and accurate product information, help increase efficiency throughout the business, provide increased levels of customer satisfaction and therefore become very valuable to any business that has sales. Such benefits are useful whatever your business size.
