Choosing a POS system for your shop or pharmacy

Six things to check before you buy billing software.

A good point-of-sale system does much more than print bills. Before choosing one, check these six things.

  1. Speed at the counter. Barcode scanning, quick search and keyboard shortcuts keep the queue moving.
  2. Live stock. Every sale should reduce stock automatically, with alerts before items run out.
  3. Expiry and batch tracking. Essential for pharmacies and food businesses.
  4. Returns, discounts and credit customers. Your real-world situations should be easy to handle.
  5. Daily closing reports. Cash, card and credit totals per counter and per staff member.
  6. Room to grow. Can it add a second branch, an online store or accounts later?

Ready-made POS software suits many shops. If your business has special pricing, wholesale and retail rates, or several branches, a POS built around your process can save a lot of daily effort.
