OUR EXPERIENCE

Almost every business requires a cash management system for their day to day transactions.  This may be a traditional cash register or an elaborate computerised point of sale system (EPOS). A cash register is more than just a place to store money, it has the ability to quickly process transactions and maintain records. Deciding which Point of Sale system to choose can be a hard decision for any business owner due to the wide range of options available.

WHAT’S THE BEST

SOLUTION FOR YOU?

Comparing Cash Registers and an EPOS System

With over 30 years’ experience, our experts will assess your organisations needs to advise you which system will most efficiently manage your operations.

For a new business, the choice of a cash register or EPOS system may simply depend on the budget of the retailer. Before you select a cash register or an EPOS system, you need to understand your business needs, the cash management options and EPOS hardware available.

The functionality of each cash register will vary by business type so it is important that you determine what type of system is most efficient for your business;

  • What tax must your business collect on a sale?
  • How many products will you carry?
  • How many products do you plan to carry in the future?
  • How busy will your store be (footfall)?
  • Will you need more than one terminal?
  • Will you accept vouchers?
  • How will your staff process refunds?
  • What types of payment will your business accept?
  • Will you do gift cards?
  • Will you have a loyalty program?

BENEFITS OF

Cash registers are a great solution for businesses that require a less complicated and less expensive solution. Cash registers can be easy to use when processing sales however, a standard cash register can be limited in terms of expandability with quite basic functions. Although cash registers have evolved over the years, they are being used less and less in retail, restaurant and hospitality settings. These machines are typically set up mainly to record sales. They can be a great solution for short term events, for more see our cash register rental section below.

Businesses are always looking for faster, more efficient ways of doing things. As a result, many businesses are opting for EPOS systems. If you want to keep track of inventory, marketing information, employee work hours and other business data, you will most likely be looking toward an EPOS system.  A cash register records sales transactions, gives change and holds money. An EPOS system is a computerised system with extended capabilities including handling financial transactions, tracking inventory and recording business data. In general, EPOS systems are more efficient and have greater business reporting capabilities than a traditional cash register system.

BENEFITS

OF AN EPOS SYSTEM

Comparing Cash Registers and an EPOS System

An Electronic Point of sale system (EPOS) is a computerised system that handles financial transactions, manages stock, customer database management, provides sales reports for improving business and much more. An EPOS system has the ability to record the complete details of financial transactions whereas the cash register will not provide the same level of detail.

One of the biggest challenges that businesses face is keeping the correct number of items that a customer needs in stock. The correct EPOS system can fix this problem by acting like the gatekeeper of inventory tracking systems. All inventory information is computerised in an EPOS system meaning businesses can easily track which items are popular and not so popular.

This system keeps track of every item sold and can suggest stockholding levels based on previous sales transactions and can also automatically reorder when stock falls below a pre-set level of your choice. Unlike cash registers, EPOS systems can be customized to fit the needs of the businesses that use them.

  • More detailed reports
  • Inventory management and control
  • Customer relationship management capabilities (CRM)
  • Marketing tools
  • Omni-channel capabilities
  • Improved accuracy
  • Loyalty programs
  • Gift Cards
  • Easily grows with business
