GlobalSTORE: Touch-Screen Point of Sale Software: Strategies for Evaluating the Technology

Overview

High-tech, touch screen software has come of age at a time when many retailers are ready to upgrade their POS systems. Is it cost-effective for these retailers to move to touch-based software technology? A full-featured, completely touchable POS system will eliminate the need for a keyboard and mouse, and reduce the hardware profile of the checkout desk. But retailers need to know if touch screens are tough enough to hold up under daily usage. They want to have confidence that touch screen POS software can really do all that is needed by touch alone, without being too complex to customize. Just as important, retailers must be sure that their sales associates and register operators, both current and future, can truly work faster and easier with a touch screen POS system.
