Introduction of Cloud-based POS Terminal in Retail Industry is a Major Trend in Global POS Market
A cloud-based POS terminal can be directly assessed from the web through the internet and is compatible with the hardware of the point of sale terminals such as printers and cash register drawers. The vendor can access the customer’s data at any geographical location through a Wi-Fi connection. The low start-up cost of cloud-based point of sale terminal is due to the centralization of information, independence from operating systems, and virtual accessibility of data.
The retail industry is one of the largest users of cloud-based point of sale systems. Retailers having a chain of outlets across varied regions can access the integrated database of the customer’s profile. The cloud-based system helps in merging data across tablets and smartphone interfaces, offine and online shopping, and e-payments.
Analysts at Beige Market Intelligence estimate that approximately 29.3% of the total point of sale volumes was located at retail outlets in 2016. Retailers have incorporated POS systems with mobile wallets, which help to attract new customers in addition to retaining the current digital payment users.
