Start with the software requirement
The right POS terminal depends on the operating system, processor, memory, ports, touch requirements and peripheral connections the software needs. A terminal that looks right on the counter still has to run the application reliably through busy trading periods.
Hardware details that affect daily operation
Counter space, cable routing, customer display placement, payment terminal mounting and printer/scanner connections all affect the terminal choice.

Plan the rollout, not just the unit
For multi-site projects, ask how terminals will be imaged, labelled, staged, delivered and supported. IO Resource can help compare models, quote matched peripherals and prepare hardware for rollout through trade channels.
