Enfore insolvency - What does this mean for existing checkout customers and what alternatives are there?
The news of the insolvency of checkout system provider Enfore has taken many companies in the retail sector by surprise. As a checkout customer, you are now understandably asking yourself a few questions: What does this mean for my business? Do I need to look for alternatives? And if so, what options are there? In this blog article, we address the most pressing questions and show you how you can future-proof your business.

What does Enfore's insolvency mean for my business?
First of all, the insolvency of Enfore does not necessarily mean that the operation of your POS solution will cease immediately. Insolvency proceedings can drag on for several months, and business operations often continue during this time. Nevertheless, it is advisable to start thinking about alternatives now, as the future of the system is uncertain. Support and further development of the software could be restricted, which could be particularly problematic in terms of software updates and security vulnerabilities.
Another important aspect: a cloud POS system ensures that it complies with all legal regulations that apply to the use of POS systems. Changes will come into force again in the coming year, for example the reporting of cash registers and technical security equipment (TSE) to the relevant tax office. These continuous adjustments are necessary to ensure that the cash register system can be used in compliance with the tax authorities. However, if a provider becomes insolvent, there is a risk that necessary updates and adjustments will no longer be carried out, which could mean that your POS system no longer complies with legal requirements. This could get your company into legal difficulties and result in high penalties.
What happens to my data and my POS system?
A key issue that concerns many entrepreneurs is the question of their own data. As an Enfore customer, you may store sensitive business information, such as sales and customer contacts, in the cloud. You should definitely check how long access to your data is guaranteed and whether you can export it. If this is not possible, it may make sense to switch to a new POS system early to avoid data loss.
Should I change my POS system?
The insolvency of a POS provider such as Enfore brings with it uncertainty - both in terms of the functionality of the system and with regard to future innovations. If you are dependent on a stable, future-proof POS system, a change is definitely worth considering. There are numerous providers offering reliable and modern solutions. Right now, switching to a new provider could offer your business long-term benefits - particularly in terms of support, updates and additional features that will help you run your business more efficiently.
