How To Select Best POS Terminal For Your Business

As a business owner, you understand the importance of having an efficient point-of-sale (POS) system to streamline your operations and enhance customer experience. With so many POS terminals available in the market, it can be overwhelming to make a choice that fits your unique needs. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the process of selecting the best POS terminal for your business by highlighting various types of terminals and essential factors to consider. Get ready to take your business transactions to new heights!

How To Select Best POS Terminal For Your Business

When it comes to selecting the best POS terminal for your business, there are a few important factors that you should keep in mind. First and foremost, consider the size of your business and how many transactions you process on a daily basis. This will help determine whether you need a basic or more advanced system.

Next, think about what features are important to your specific industry. For example, if you have a restaurant, then having an integrated kitchen display system may be crucial for streamlining orders.

It's also essential to look into compatibility with other software programs that you use for accounting or inventory management. Make sure the POS terminal can integrate seamlessly with them for maximum efficiency.

Another factor is security - ensure that any potential POS terminal has robust encryption protocols and fraud detection measures in place to protect both yourself and customers from data breaches.

Don't forget about customer support! Look into whether the company offers 24/7 technical assistance or training resources so that you can get the most out of your new system without encountering any issues along the way.

Factors to Consider When Selecting POS Terminals

Types of POS Terminals

There are three main types of POS terminals: traditional, mobile, and tablet-based. Traditional POS terminals are stationary and require a wired connection to operate. Mobile POS terminals are portable and operate on a wireless network, and they typically come with a built-in card reader. Tablet-based POS terminals use a tablet device as the central component and can integrate with other devices, such as card readers and printers.

Features

The features of a POS System will vary based on the type of terminal and the provider. Some common features include inventory management, sales reporting, employee management, and customer relationship management. It's important to assess which features are most important for your business and select a POS system that meets those needs.

Ease of Use

The best POS systems are easy to use and navigate. They should be intuitive and require minimal training for employees. It's also important to consider how easy it is to set up and customize the system to fit your business's specific needs.

Compatibility

When selecting a POS system, it's important to consider the hardware and software compatibility. The system should be able to integrate with other devices, such as card readers, printers, and cash drawers. It should also be compatible with your current software and hardware systems.

 Security

Security is a crucial factor to consider when selecting a POS system. The system should be compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and should have built-in security features, such as encryption and secure data storage. It's also important to consider the provider's reputation and track record for security.

Customer Support

When selecting a POS system, it's important to consider the provider's customer support services. The provider should offer comprehensive support, including technical support and training resources. They should also offer timely and responsive customer service in case of any issues or questions.

Cost

The cost of a POS system can vary greatly based on the provider and the features offered. It's important to assess your business's budget and select a system that fits within your financial constraints. It's also important to consider any additional costs, such as hardware and software upgrades and transaction fees.

Provider Reputation

Finally, it's important to consider the reputation and track record of the POS provider. Look for providers with a proven track record of reliability and security. Read customer reviews and testimonials to get a sense of their customer service and satisfaction levels. Choose a provider with a good reputation and track record to ensure that you're getting a quality product and service.

Conclusion

Selecting the best POS terminal for your business is a crucial decision that can help you streamline your processes and increase revenue. With so many options available, it's important to consider factors such as functionality, integration capabilities, cost, and customer support before making a decision.

Remember that every business has unique needs when it comes to POS systems. What works for one company may not work for another. Take the time to research and compare different options before making a final decision.

By taking these factors into account and choosing a high-quality POS system that meets your specific needs, you can ensure that your customers have an efficient checkout experience while simplifying day-to-day operations in the process.

ESG to Add Value to the Point-Of-Sale (POS) Terminal Industry

The environmental, social and governance (ESG) landscape has gone mainstream in the point-of-sale (POS) terminal industry. Robust digital payment technologies have potentially removed or reduced paperwork and bureaucracy and minimized the need for cash. Predominantly, automated payment processes are fostering corporate work, while retailers have exhibited an increased inclination for POS terminals as sustainability factors garner traction among shareholders, investors, customers and other stakeholders. Payment companies have furthered their traction for ESG pillars to propel social credibility, enhance brand position and place social goals on top of the agenda.

The onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the normal circulation of coins and spurred the penetration of debit/credit card payments. The raw materials (chemicals made from petroleum) process emit GHG emissions, while the magnetic strips and smart card chips could augment the environmental costs. An uptick in cashless payments, along with the growth of mobile payments, has furthered the use of POS equipment. Besides, the generation of e-waste has expedited the need for robust governance and environmentally friendly strategies to provide a lasting impact on security, comfort and the environment.

Environmental Perspective

An unprecedented rise in waste from scrapped cards has prompted stakeholders to seek environmental principles to underscore a sustainability portfolio. Furthermore, carbon emissions from energy used to manufacture the cards have augmented the GHG. Industry leaders have vouched for digital wallets that may offset the environmental impact of debit and credit cards. According to a France-based merchant services technology company Ingenico, there are around 110 million terminals installed globally. The growth trajectory alludes to an increased focus on the environmental performance. The company has introduced eco-design of payment terminals to develop, design and provide products that are environmentally friendly. The service company has augmented R&D efforts to optimize terminals’ energy efficiency, minimize logistics’ carbon footprint, integrate sustainable procurement into the supply, eliminate toxic substances and reduce the raw material used.

Industry participants have sought carbon balancing to engage in proper e-waste management, foster an emission reduction strategy and offset the residual carbon footprint. For instance, in March 2022, Toshiba collected around 907 Kg of e-waste for recycling. It revised Response to Climate Change in Environmental Future Vision 2050 to attain carbon neutrality throughout the value chain. The company inferred in its Sustainability Report 2021 that it would inject funds into energy-saving equipment, bolster procurement of energy from renewable sources, bring renewable energy equipment to the fore and emphasize products and services that reduce GHG emissions.

Key Companies in this theme

• Cisco Systems, Inc.

• Panasonic Corporation 

• Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. 

• Hewlett-Packard Inc. 

• Toshiba Corporation

Retailers, investors, manufacturers and other stakeholders have prioritized sustainability portfolio to unlock new opportunities to reach out to customers. According to the EU Eco-design directive, 90% of manufacturing costs and 80% of environmental pollution are due to the decisions taken at the production design. The use of recyclable and recycled raw materials could prove to be instrumental to add impetus to the environmental profile. For instance, Panasonic Corporation has minimized the waste generation by fostering the recycling rate of waste materials. Besides, HP exhibited the lowest emission and energy consumption rate in 2020 and aims for zero waste in operation by 2025.

Social Perspective

A robust ESG proposition could provide a win-win scenario as distributors, retailers and other stakeholders engage investors on their social performance. Social factors, including gender diversity, social trends, labor relations and inclusion, are expected to usher in innovations and growth through greater credibility. Bullish initiatives, including defining gender and racial representation and social-responsibility audits, will hold prominence, driving the business and benefiting shareholders and stakeholders. On the social pillar, Toshiba Corporation ranked supreme with approximately 90% score. In its Sustainability Report 2021, the Japanese conglomerate contemplated boosting the number of human rights awareness participants by 10% in the country from the preceding FY level. The multinational company has established a whistleblower system for employees—Toshiba Hotline—it received 129 cases in FY2020. Furthermore, in December 2020, the company rolled out the Chameleons Club with channels, such as LGBT+ Allies, to underscore and reinforce inclusion and deepen bonds among employees.

Amidst companies gearing to encourage employees to feel fulfillment and pride in their work and harness technology, high turnover rates have sparked concerns among stakeholders. According to the Samsung Electronics Sustainability Report 2022, the overseas turnover rate was pegged at 15.7% in 2021, while it stood at 2.4% in Korea. However, it has robust labor and human rights framework with strong anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies. The company provided specialized online training for 91% of staff members in jobs with increased human rights risks. Besides, it has around 32 labor unions and 40 Work Councils to enhance communication with employee representative bodies. In a bid to reflect the thoughts of youth in business activities, Samsung formed the Gen Z and Millennial Board to enable the younger generation to share their views on customer trends, products and trending topics on social sites.

Governance Perspective

Stakeholders are gearing to provide impetus to sustainability governance through transparent functioning, improved management efficiency, independence and expertise of the board, business ethics, and optimal internal controls. In the thematic report, Grand View Research’s ESG scoring model notes that HP was at the helm with respect to corporate governance. The HPE board comprised 12 directors with vast knowledge, skills and expertise, with eleven working as independent directors (as of FY 2021). Moreover, around 50% of board members were identified with one of the more diverse groups. HPE’s board committee of ESG includes an audit committee; human resources and compensation committee; a finance and investment committee; and nominating, governance, and social responsibility committee. Predominantly, the company has established an enterprise risk management (ERM) program overseen by the CFO and underpinned by HPE Executive Risk Council.

Ethical decision-making has gained ground to add fillip to business practices and encourage customers, employees, suppliers and stakeholders to voice concerns pertaining to business conduct. HPE asserts that ethics allegations and inquiries witnessed a 31% reduction in 2021 from 2019. Meanwhile, Cisco alludes to 1190 inquiries—53% of those related to conflict of interest disclosure, 28% questions and 19% allegations of misconduct—made to the Ethics office in 2021. The executive Leadership Team of Cisco recorded videos elucidating the significance of ethics and compliance to the company and shared real-life examples of violations observed within the organization during the same year.

Disclosure of corporate information can steward companies’ approach to ESG performance through transparency. In April 2022, Panasonic Group adopted an operating company system to boost Group management, secure management and improve corporate value. It has formed the Audit & Supervisory Board to foster the effectiveness of audit activities, assess and decide countermeasures and propel cooperation with the Internal Audit Department. Additionally, Panasonic has formed disclosure control procedures to adhere to laws and ordinances in Japan and overseas, to implement the accurate, fair and timely disclosure of information and comply with the rules of financial instruments exchanges. As stakeholders strive to bridge the gaps of the growing ecosystem and use advanced technology, the uptake in the point of sale applications could underpin the sustainability portfolio, leveraging them to count on the foundation of robust corporate governance and accountability.

Incumbent companies are responding to the unwavering popularity and significance of ESG goals to stay ahead of the curve. ESG programs on the global scale have become prevalent and frontrunner to bolster brand position in the long run. In August 2022, Toshiba Tec expressed contemplation in developing point of a sale software platform for U.S. retailers. The subsidiary of Toshiba is gearing to augment the number of employees by more than two-fold in the new Dallas hub by 2025. It is expected to have more than 30 software engineers in the U.S. hub by March-end 2023. The prevailing trends suggest exponential growth in digital payments could serve as a catalyst for the business strategies surrounding POS equipment. The global POS terminals market size stood at USD 85.16 billion in 2021 and could witness around 8.5% CAGR from 2022 through 2030. A notable shift towards a strong ESG proposition has become pronounced among financial stakeholders, investors, and companies that could exhibit potential growth opportunities emanating from ESG activities.

If Gabe is Hell's favourite angel than does that mean V1 is the Terminals favourite? Like while Hell is concerned with the narrative torment, the pain, the breaking down of the very essence of god's light the Terminals are like 'this is V1 it is blue and has the highest damage output :)'

I could imagine they were betting on who would win their bouts in Gluttony and Heresy (Hell was absolutely surprised that V-'won' when millions of other machines fell to Gabe before it and that it kept winning. the Terminals were just glad to be finally validated in their betting choices)

Neither expected that the third time, love would win. and that they would come to respect each other's picks.

sjdhfsdfgb hell being the guy with a purebred dog that's won the show circuit while the terminals have a feral cat they found under their porch IS the exact correct read lmaooooooo

i definitely agree that v1's win is probably as shocking to hell as it is to gabriel, even as it awaited v1's arrival with excitement - the terminals have been following this one closely and they've been chattering on about it with increasing enthusiasm in the short time since it came to hell. they're SURE this one will at least make it past gabriel, but hell refuses to give them a free pass - either it defeats him or its progress stops here. the terminals grumble a bit, but determinedly still place their bets on their favorite; v1 will succeed, they say, v1 will best a supreme angel and lead the rest of the machines deep into hell. hell figures this confidence is mostly wishful thinking as there's terminals locked far down into its depths rotting away with no physical contact, no active role in their little game. but one thing is interesting here in that v1 has shown itself to be exemplary if not too special, while gabriel has been growing numb to his work for years under the council. v1 is fresh, it's violent and tearing its way through every enemy it meets with surprising, efficient cruelty unseen in the machines beforehand....and gabriel is a divine warrior reduced for so long to "fighting" hordes of insects, his tactics and movements now routine, uninspired. so. will v1 actually surprise it? will it wake up gabriel who's been burning out in far less spectacular fashion than hell had hoped?

and then something...strange happens.

the terminals are proven right when v1 bests gabriel in gluttony, he falls to the floor and he's unable to keep fighting, bled too much to let his wings carry him. hell is astounded and the terminals celebrate (especially the ones past gluttony, they're FINALLY a part of this!!!) but even more intriguing (to hell, at least) is the fallout this causes. what will heaven do to its brightest angel, its judge of hell, an archangel favored by all who know him? what will that angel do to himself? for the terminals, this marks v1 as near unstoppable (and, if the prime soul fights are considered canon, they know there is truly nothing that can stand in its way); it will unknowingly, uncaringly, spearhead the charge of their machine army into each layer of hell. and when it clashes again with gabriel in heresy, both they and hell fall quiet as they wait to see if the apostate can take back everything he's lost...though the terminals are merely waiting for the win, for the incredible recording this will be. their confidence is rewarded again and hell feels the shift fully this time, that something has come into it that god couldn't have created. gabriel has fallen, the prime souls are falling, demons, husks, and other machines can't stand a chance. it must do more, it must apply true, agonizing pressure to the terminals' favorite to see just how much it can take before it breaks...and the terminals welcome that challenge. they will supply v1 with increasingly terrible firepower to fight against it, and they believe it will outdo even hell's worst.

the pivot NEITHER see coming is. how gabriel actually comes back to it. hell had seen his wings burst into their colors of ecstasy and the terminals had seen v1 ignore its programming to let him live twice...but their bloodthirsty bets are put on immediate hold when their next encounter supplies. peace. communication. gabriel sheathing his swords and kneeling to show v1 his intentions. and v1 responding in kind, drawing no weapons as it curiously closes the distance between them. and it all plays out in front of them, an angel who found himself again through the machine and the machine that was finally able to have a self through the angel. it's utterly perplexing, the terminals having no idea what this could mean for v1's continued march and hell not knowing if it should delight in gabriel's complete fall into blasphemy or if now must prepare for a much, MUCH more difficult endgame than just squaring off against v1. ether way....this proves entropy in creeping too through the halls of hell, and neither computer nor divine logic can stop it

[ spilverrizz / splice, silver @psycho-chair ]

Splice had been searching for Silver EVERYWHERE in the mansion but he was nowhere to be seen. It was almost like he just...

Poofed out of existance!!

He had checked every room, the kitchen, the hallways, even the followers room just in case he decided to feed from them. (Though he's starting to almost regret it as some of them gave him the stank eye.)

There is only one room left to check and with no doubt in his soul, Silver would be there.

And of course, he wouldn't be alone.

He pushed back the large doors residing Rizz's personal gym room, with hoops dangling about alongside flying colors of ribbons and a lone pole, standing majestically in the middle.

And as expected, he sees Rizz swooning Silver on, enticing him with his gracious moves and hypnotic spins. As if pulled, he watches the performance he is definitely not complaining.

Of course he shuts the door once he was inside.

This show is only reserved for the VIPs.
