Introduction
The musty old ledger with yellowing pages filled with columns of neat figures dotted with tiny ink blots is obsolete. The wooden abacus has become an ancient relic and even calculators are being threatened with extinction.
The current trends of high-speed living and the constant bustle of life means that customers no longer have the patience to wait for the shop worker to add up totals in their head (with or without the use of fingers). Mental arithmetic and manual input into a calculating device takes too much time and has too high a capacity for human error to appeal to the average shop owner, till worker and customer.
Point of Sale software (POS) eliminates all that infuriating waiting and the impatient tapping of feet. With POS you can track inventories, keep up to minute information on sales orders or special orders, customize price tags and check on employee time sheets and salaries.
