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 (e.g. 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 (e.g. part exchange)…
If you have advanced stock management requirements e.g. multiple branches or serial number tracking…
then you really need to look at a Sparkstone Retail EPoS based system.
