Increasing transaction speed and customer throughput is one of retailers’ key goals in computerizing a point of sale system. POS systems that give you the biggest bang for your buck have added features you can leverage to maximize both of these.

With computerized POS systems, many sales can be rung up by simply by scanning the bar code on the item or items being purchased. However, not all merchandise is bar-coded. Advanced POS systems, such as pcAmerica’s Cash Register Express, allow you to quickly ring up items that do not have bar codes by touching a corresponding button on a touch screen. Customers can then move through the checkout line as quickly as they would had all of their items been scanned at the point of sale.

Features that make it easier to handle sale and specialty pricing also work to your advantage. A comprehensive POS system can automatically calculate this type of pricing, again contributing to faster customer throughput—and enhanced customer satisfaction, to boot. You get the same result from quick tender keys, which reduce the number of buttons that must be pushed to complete cash sales.
