What is the difference between a cash register and a POS system<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Everyone always wants to be a super hero growing up. Batman, Superman, Spiderman, it didn\u2019t matter as long as you were fighting crime and had awesome powers. Comparatively, nobody wanted to play the banker. A cash register is like that poor banker character, while a POS is the super hero.<\/p>\n

The first cash register was invented after the American Civil War by James Ritty and was patented in 1883. It was nothing but a simple adding machine. Over a century later and little has changed. While a POS system also makes sales transactions, do not even begin to compare a POS to an ordinary cash register.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A cash register cannot:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Track inventory<\/li>\n
  2. Maintain customer histories<\/li>\n
  3. Manage employee time keeping<\/li>\n
  4. Schedule appointments<\/li>\n
  5. Integrate credit card processing or merchant accounts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A POS has the ability to do all those things and more. A POS acts as a controlling force, or nerve center, helping keep businesses running smoothly and efficiently. A cash register is one size fits all. Each POS system comes equipped with the key features that are the most important for a specific type of business.<\/p>\n
