EPOS on your iPad
Take your Till to your Customers…
The Dream
Apple’s dream for the iPad began with browsing the web, reading and sending email, enjoying photos, watching videos, listening to music, playing games, reading e-books and much more.
The business industry has now taken the iPad further than just a new toy or gadget, with its smart & efficient design the iPad is now becoming a recognized business tool.
The Reality
The ever evolving Point Of Sale experience now includes the iPad. This is more than an idea or distant dream in 2011, G7 Computer Services Ltd being one of the first UK EPOS companies to offer the iPad as an integrated peripheral with our EPOS solutions.
The days of the traditional shopping basket and checkout will never disappear but there are plenty of new ways to shop – online with free delivery, Self-Serve checkout or Wireless payment at the dinner table.
The Benefits
Improve your customer service and increase sales by offering a personal shopper experience – scan the products, hold the sale and just pay at the checkout. This will reduce customer queues and you can print to a wireless printer if you need to. Suitable in multiple business environments from Retail to Restaurants, all the security and functionality of your till & back office on your iPad.
Did I mention you can do all of this from anywhere, inside or outside your business as the iPad works on both WiFi and 3G.
