What is POS software?
Cash register software is used with digital cash register systems. Digital or cloud-based POS systems are basically modern cash registers with many more options and some extras. As a rule, these POS systems run on a tablet basis and are much more handy, smarter and flexible to use.
The POS software is installed on the tablets in advance and is then available to you as an app. A major advantage of the POS software is that it can be customized. This means that different function packages are available to them and the prices therefore vary. So you only pay for the functions that you actually need. We recommend an informative consultation with one of our consultants to clarify all details.
The tablet POS system - LocaFox Edition
With LocaFox, you are provided with an Android-based tablet. The LocaFox software is installed on this tablet, which later serves as your cash register. In addition to the tablet, the basic equipment of the POS system also includes a receipt printer and a cash drawer from ANKER. If desired, you can expand your POS system with additional accessories, such as a label printer, a hand scanner, a tablet holder and much more. Of course, we are also available to advise you on the choice of a suitable card terminal. Thus, you have the same options as with a stationary cash register, which, however, is more space-saving and well suited for smaller sales areas. If you need several cash registers for your store, they can also be linked together.
