Whether you've just signed the lease on your first store or you are considering expanding to new locations, its worth taking the time to consider your current and future point-of-sale (POS) system needs now. In your market research, you have likely already stumbled upon how retailers and restaurants are moving away from bulky cash registers and replacing them with sleek tablet mobile payment systems. 

Thanks to advances in mobile devices and cloud technology, cash registers have become increasingly rare, and for good reason. A smartphone or tablet can provide the same functionality, in a more streamlined manner that improves the customer experience. Customers gain the option to have receipts emailed to them instead of printed, can clearly view purchase and price information and the devices used are often already familiar to them — in many cases they are the same models they use at home.

If your business is currently using cash registers, then switching is a no-brainer. A cloud-based POS system will have minimal or no upfront fees, and are usually offered as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), with low monthly payments. Cloud-based systems also offer live sales data at your fingertips, access from anywhere and a host of other workforce management benefits. 

SaaS POS systems store data in the cloud, meaning that you are able to avoid the costs of setting up and managing your own server. And unlike with traditional cash registers, which offered little insight into sales data until the end of the day, managers can view sales data, employee timeclocks and other features from anywhere at any time.
