Unlike a regular Point of Sale system, where your information can be shared on other systems within the business, once the POS system on your iPad is gone, it\u2019s gone for good.<\/p>\n<p>We at Sintel Systems created a mobile variant for the Android Tablet. This is different from an iPad because the tablet works as an extension of the system \u2013 not the system itself.<\/p>\n<p>If one day your tablet goes missing, there will be no need to fear. All of your information will still be safe and secure on your Point of Sale System from Sintel Systems.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>An overload of information<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you do set up <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2011\/04\/06\/mobile-payments-commerce\/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed:+Mashable+%28Mashable%29&amp;utm_content=Google+Reader\">mobile payment<\/a> on an iPad for your business, the iPad may not be able to handle such an enormous amount of activity.\u00a0 If your business does really well (which we hope it does) the constant use of the POS system on the iPad may cause the iPad to overwork and create problems within the system.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>The Payment System<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With Sintel Systems you get an all in one <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sintelsystems.com\/blog\/2013\/01\/the-three-advantages-of-pos-versus-mobile-payment-systems\/\">payment system<\/a> , but when using a mobile device, you may be forced to use a third party, like Square, who will charge you additional fees. These fees are usually much higher than an integrated POS system.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Not Individually Tailored<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The POS system an iPad may not be specific for your type of business. Whether you run a pizzeria or a clothing store, the POS system will include the same exact features for both. While an integrated POS system will offer a system catered towards your business and its individual needs.<\/p>\n<p>The iPad was never created to replace a Point of Sale system.
