What is a POS system?
A POS (Point of Sale) system is the software and hardware used at checkout to record sales, take payment, and update inventory. Modern cloud POS systems run in a browser or app, connect to barcode scanners, and deduct stock automatically when a sale completes.
Why it matters
- Every sale should reduce inventory instantly — manual notebooks cannot keep up at scale
- Per-cashier logins create accountability and reduce untracked shrinkage
- Sales data feeds reporting, reorder decisions, and customer debt tracking
