EPoS or Electronic Till - Which solution is right for me?
There are no hard and fast rules on which system to choose, however we have detailed below the main business requirements that we believe should be considered in the decision process.
When choosing EPoS is the sensible option
The main reason for looking at a full epos system will be because of what you sell or the size of your site:
If you have more than 10-15 staff it is probably indicative of greater needs than a multi ECR system can satisfy...
If you are planning to grow, or sell up...
If you are planning to add ecommerce and/or mail order processing...
If you need to maintain individual customer records with buying histories...
If you want to run multiple special offers (eg buy one get one free etc) or track promotions success...
If you need more flexible pricing choices, information at point of sale, have more complex transactions (eg part exchange)...
If you have advanced stock management requirements eg multiple branches or serial number tracking...
then you really need to look at a Sparkstone Retail EPoS based system.

Electronic Cash Register (ECR) based system
The main reason for looking at an ECR based system is simply because you don’t need to look at a full epos system yet.
An ECR based system can provide you with sales and management information and can be upgraded to include PC based stock control systems.
Fast, simple and reliable to set up or sophisticated with multi branch real time communications – all this can be achieved with ECR’s
The Geller range of ECR’s and hospitality Vectrons is second to none.
