Here are some questions to ask yourself before choosing a cash register machine or POS system:
Do you have a lot of products or stock to manage?
Do you need help with remote employee management?
Will you be away from your store most of the time and will need real-time reports?
Do you want to run a loyalty programme?
Answering all these questions will give you clearer picture of what you need for your business at this point in time as well as in the future.

How much does a cash register or a POS system cost?

Expect to spend a little more time and money if you're just starting your business. There are things like hardware that you might need to buy or trainings you need to attend.
A cash register machine costs anywhere between RM400 - RM4,000.
A POS system with hardware (iPad or Android tablet + tablet stand + cash drawer + receipt printer) costs around RM2,000 - RM4,000.
You need to determine your budget and business goals before selecting either.
Keep in mind that the world is becoming more advanced as time goes on, and you now have access to smarter and cheaper all-in-one business management systems that can give you insights that will help you make better data-driven business decisions.
Data is king. You need to collect and analyse it to understand who your target market is, and how you can better sell to your new and existing customers. This helps you save time and money. Whoo!
