A point of sale survey recently conducted by Software Advice, a firm that compares POS technology, has turned up some unexpected results that speak volumes about the state of retailers today.
The most common reasons given for wanting to upgrade or install new Point of Sale software included lack of functionality of the current system, a desire to implement a loyalty program, wanting better integration between the POS and other systems or equipment, poor vendor support.
Another fascinating trend was that the number of retailers interested in cloud based software was declining. This is in spite of the tremendous expansion of available cloud based POS software systems in the last 24 months. Traditional "on-premise" systems are re-gaining popularity.
