Point of Sale (POS)

Point of Sale (POS) refers to the precise time and physical or virtual location where a retail transaction is completed between a merchant and a customer. Historically, this was simply a cash register. However, in modern commerce, a POS system has evolved into a sophisticated, integrated hardware and software solution that not only processes sales but also manages a wide array of business operations. It acts as the central hub for transactions, capturing crucial sales data and facilitating the payment process from start to finish.
