Screens for POS systems
Most retailers will most likely prefer to have a screen for their POS system as it opens up far more control options than an old-fashioned, traditional POS system. Maybe you want your POS system to function more like a computer than just visualizing sales for you. Therefore, there is a difference between all-in-one POS PCs and customer displays; and it’s important to understand the difference before you decide.
All-in-one POS PCs are essential for a complete POS system if you have a business and therefore a POS system that requires more than just accepting payments. Here you get PCs with processors to store lots of data and programs to support your business and your entire POS system. Whereas customer displays or monitors simply plug in to visualize the purchase or payment process for your employees or customers.

Price checks for POS systems
To top your customers’ experience in your store or retail outlet, a price checker can save both your employees and customers time. Most people have found an item without a price on it, queued up to ask the clerk how much it costs, and then continued shopping.
With a price checker, your customers can easily scan the item’s barcode and see the current price. This allows you to quickly and significantly increase your service level. This price checker uses Android as its operating system and connects via Bluetooth, making it easy to connect to your existing system in your store.

Barcode scanners for POS systems
A barcode scanner is an essential tool for your POS system as it is crucial for the speed of your service. The better its scanning ability, the faster you can serve your customers. The same goes for how correctly it reads the barcode, which can also have a big impact on your efficiency. If the barcode scanner doesn’t read the barcode correctly, you could end up selling the wrong item or at the wrong price in your system. This can cost you and your customers dearly. Invest in a reliable barcode scanner that reads your products’ barcodes quickly and correctly.
Receipt printers for POS systems
A receipt printer is an absolute must-have to complete your POS system. It’s important to have good printing performance and speed to complete your customers’ shopping experience with a receipt for their purchase. Here are 2 of our recommended receipt printers – all with USB/Ethernet connectivity.

Cash drawers for POS systems
Although cash drawers don’t differ much from each other, having a cash drawer to assist your POS system is a necessity. Although many people today use debit cards as their primary means of payment, most retail stores will still offer the service of allowing their customers to pay with cash.
A cash drawer is also great for storing important receipts, vouchers or accounting documents.
