An EPOS system is created through a computer network that connects retail operations, including back-office and shop-floor activities, to create a streamlined business management system. An EPOS is used in a variety of industries such as building and remodeling, home goods, food services, and even high-tech manufacturing. The main purpose of an EPOS system is to provide greater operational efficiency by integrating all of a business’ retail operations into one simple-to-use, centralized computing system.
With a huge range of benefits, including increased profit potential, improved customer service and happier employees, it’s amazing more businesses aren’t already using EPOS. But if you’re still not convinced, here are some reasons why you should be!

It‘s equally important to allow sales staff to make change quickly, and to enter information in a manner that minimizes errors. Backed by the latest Cloud operating system, this new EPOS and scanner hardware from Pine Labs improves the customer experience.
Inventory Management
Advancements in EPOS system technology mean that inventory management is now more efficient and effective than it has ever been. With EPOS, data on all items in stock is updated automatically during a sale. The information garnered from this automated delivery process means that the subsequent ordering process is streamlined, saving valuable time and money.
Inventory Management uses current and historic data to make inventory ordering suggestions based on predicted sales requirements, helping you get the right stock in the right place at the right time.
Detailed Sales Analysis Reports
With a POS system you will receive detailed sales analysis reports, helping you to manage your business more effectively. The reports provide data on the number of customers, average spend and most popular product ranges. You can use this information to identify shopping or dining trends, which will allow you to tailor your business accordingly. You can also make predictions about future revenue, which will give you the opportunity to plan ahead.
Efficient Labour Management
The EPOS system can be set up to manage and monitor schedules and rotas, and you can use your staff’s card when they go on a break to identify exactly who is at the counter. With accurate data on sales and stock levels – presented as easily understandable graphs and charts – your business is better equipped to make stock decisions that will help maximise profits.
