Point Of Sale Systems: How to Choose a Dealer to Buy From

by: Mark Henry
Sponsored Links

Given that a point of sale (POS) system is critical to your business, choosing a dealer to buy from is a very important decision. In some ways, the dealer is a more critical factor than the actual hardware and software.

So how do you zero in on the right dealer? Here are some of the things you should look at.

  • The dealer’s experience should play a big part in your decision. If you run a fine dining restaurant with up-market clientele, your business needs are vastly different from someone else’s who runs a self-service cafeteria. A bookstore has different needs than a dry cleaning outlet.

    Make it a point to investigate what experience the dealer has in your specific industry. And for how long they have been dealing with your industry.

  • If the dealer does have experience in your industry, ask for references from within the industry, or in closely related operations.

    Ask these references questions about all aspects of their POS system experience. What is it they would have done differently in choosing and utilizing their equipment? What is it they don’t like about the dealership / choice of system?

    Also find out if they know any other users who are served by this dealer. You may find that people not directly referred by the dealer tend to be more forthcoming about the pros and cons of the equipment and the dealer.

  • A POS system quickly becomes indispensable to your operations. Any downtime is usually a very serious affair and may affect your business in many ways. That’s why support is a critical factor.

    Determine what level of support you will need. Will you need 24 hour on-site support? How long can you afford to run without a live POS system?

    Sit down with the prospective dealer and get a detailed understanding of the support they offer. Perhaps they initially provide phone support. If that doesn’t solve the problem, they may send support personnel over. And if the problem can’t be rectified immediately, find out if they will be able to give equipment on loan till your system becomes functional again.

    Ask to see a copy of the service contract and scrutinize it carefully.

  • Request the dealer to give you a demo of the equipment they are proposing to install for you. The demo could be done at your site or theirs. Go along with some of the actual end users in your organization.

    A hands-on trial is an excellent way to gauge what you are getting into, both in terms of the equipment itself as well as how the dealer utilizes it.

  • Get a sense of the dealer’s installation procedures. Do they have a one-size-fits-all approach? That could be risky with something as critical and complex as a POS system.
The best dealers will make a detailed study of your infrastructure, inspect your power lines and in general, get an excellent grip on your needs and on your present situation before recommending a system.

The initial days after installation are critical, to ensure that the system functions as intended. Will the dealer’s personnel be looking in often for the first two weeks to a month to ensure that everything is working fine and to answer the questions that will inevitably arise?

The above tips should help you determine which POS system dealer is the best fit for your business needs. Preparing well at the pre-purchase stage can save you endless frustration later on.

Availing of Our Services

under Availing of Our Services

As an entrepreneur or small- or medium-scale business owner, you realize the value of your time. Running a business is a dynamic activity: it is imperative to be on top of the situation 24/7/365. Unfortunately, the little details of running a business tend to eat up your precious little time and detract from the more important concerns of running the business.

As a manager of a medium- to large-scale corporation, you are probably familiar with the periodic build-up in the overall company workload: peak seasons bring in torrents of drowning paperwork that, if not properly managed, will take up a lot of your time and energy, both of which are better off spent on actually managing the company. The fact that this phenomenon is seasonal in nature makes it infeasible to hire full-time permanent employees, and hiring part-time employees will further take up a lot of time and resources.

Before we begin a job with your business or company, we will schedule a free consultation meeting or call with you. This is a cursory call and we discuss our services in even greater detail. We aim to establish a degree of rapport with you, our prospective customer, and we mean to show you that we are serious about doing business with you.

We submit this specification to you for your approval and revisions. If our proposed specification is to your satisfaction, we can then begin to work with you and your company or business. Otherwise, we will revise the specification until it meets your demands, thereupon we begin our work with you.

Our complete contact details can be found on our Contact Us page on this website. We look forward to a productive working relationship with you and your company or business.

Pros and Cons of Having an Offshore Bank Account

under Recent Articles

Offshore banking has been infamously associated with corrupt executives, drug dealers or other unlawful people avoiding taxation and keeping discreet accounts to hide their criminal deeds. However, this is not generally true. In fact, 80 – 90% of offshore bank accounts are used to protect businesses from lawsuits, scams or other threats.

An offshore bank is typically located in a place with low or no tax jurisdiction. People mostly open an offshore bank account for this reason, for it has legal and financial benefits. However, while there are advantages in offshore banking, there are disadvantages as well.

Pros:

1. Offshore banks can provide stable jurisdictions and regulated banking systems. This is beneficial for people living in politically troubled areas where their assets may freeze, or worse, disappear.

2. There’s not much government interference in offshore banks, so sometimes they offer higher interest rates and lower cost bases than in home countries.

3. Offshore banks sometimes offer services that domestic banks may not be able to provide. Examples of these services are anonymous bank accounts, investment opportunities that cannot be offered anywhere else, and lower of higher rate loans.

4. Offshore banking can provide developing countries opportunities to prosper because offshore finance is an industry that could make remote islands be engaged in source investment, thus creating economical growth.

5. Offshore banks mostly pay interest without having to deduct tax.

Cons:

1. Offshore finance, although a legitimate financial establishment, has been linked with unlawful acts like terrorism, underground economy and money laundering. Along with the events that followed the September 11 attacks, offshore banks were accused of helping terrorist groups and organized crime groups.

2. Offshore bank accounts are mostly available to those who have higher incomes, as the cost of establishing an account is quite high. This leaves the tax burden to the middle-income group in developed countries.

3. Offshore banking has been referred to as the solution to all the financial and legal asset protection issues. However, this is not always the case.
