Square

My previous experience with Square was when they first launched a small device that could plug into your device and process credit card transactions. The Square Point of Sale System, takes this one step further and offers a complete point of sale system.

The system works for retailers or anyone who has an inventory of goods and processes payments.

It features a straight forward inventory system that includes graphics, pricing and stock levels. Square states the system is so intuitive your staff literally need no training and can dive right in and use the system. The inventory system also works in real time, removing items from inventory as they are sold.

The system is extremely flexible. Options are available for an iPad on a stand in a fixed system or a mobile system where your staff take the device with them and process transactions on the fly. I can see retailers using this system to provide a whole new shopping experience, wherein staff processes your payment and hand you your goods without having to wait in line.
