What factors to consider when choosing a POS System in Canada?

There are certain important aspects to be considered while buying a POS system. They are:

• The first and the important factor to be considered is the setup cost and the time required.
  
  

• The processing fees required for the system and the monthly rental fees or cost of the equipment are to be considered while choosing a POS system.
  
  

• The ability of your software to accept UPI payments should be checked. You should also make sure that your POS system can accept one-tap card payments, the latest method of card payment. 
  
  

• There are various POS systems with various features. The features of the POS system should be analyzed before it is purchased. The features such as inventory management, performance reporting, and customer feedback are to be considered other than acceptance of various payment methods.

What are the benefits of using the POS System in Canada?

Technological advancements have always benefited professionals by reducing their burden and increasing productivity. Using a POS system in Canada has many advantages. Let’s see the advantages of the POS system in detail.

• Less time-consuming: The main advantage of using a POS system is that it reduces the time required while dealing with a customer. This system does every process more quickly and accurately than traditional methods.
  
  

• Less chance of error occurrence: A POS system reduces the chance of error occurrence as most of its activities are done by the software itself. The only chance of occurrence of errors in this system will be technical errors which are much less probable.
  
  

• Customer-friendly: A POS system is very useful to customers as it provides a great experience. The POS system checks out the inventory and gives a real-time evaluation of the inventory, thereby helping the customers understanding whether a product is out of stock or not. Some of the POS systems also request feedback from consumers to ensure better service next time.
  
  

• Fewer manpower requirements: The POS system performs many tasks which require manpower on its own, freeing your employees from tedious, less profitable pursuits.

The app allows a fully customizable floor plan, supports different POS, provides optional floor plans, and allows configuring on a POS basis. 

Hardware

There are three ways to manage to work in an online store. Using a personal desktop computer or laptop is the cheapest and most comfortable way of dealing with an online shop. Connect bar code scanners and inkjet printers with the system for other required functions. 

Using a Tablet supported by iOS or Android requires less space compared to a PC. The touchscreen display, the advantage of moving around with it, and the lightweight feature make it a more likable option. 

The third option is an industrial touchscreen device, perfectly designed for shops and restaurants with a good number of employees and customers. It is a simple device that supports the Odoo POS system. 

IOT Box

IoT Box is a small cross-platform device that permits USB POS peripherals on systems such as PC, MAC, Linux, iOS, and Android. This hardware solution helps to integrate devices without much complexity. It also helps in cutting down costs. 
Regarding the Barcode Scanner, Odoo POS supports most USB scanners and many Bluetooth scanners, and network printers. The IoT box is not a requirement here. Regarding the Weighing Scale, the IoT box is required to integrate Odoo POS with electronic sales. Weight is read from the weighing device and transferred to the sales system. Regarding the Cash Registers & Receipt Printers: IoT box is unnecessary for most of this to operate. POS operates well with EPSON-compatible cash registers. And finally, the Payment Terminal & Customer Display.
