What's the difference between traditional POS and smart POS?

Usually, the traditional POS we see is generally closed, which cannot be effectively associated with other devices, and there are not many means to communicate with peripherals. It is a special terminal for independent cashier system.

Intelligent POS

Intelligent POS is open, and can be easily connected with cashier system, ERP management system and member system, so as to realize information linkage between different systems, help businesses to better establish data communication, reduce business costs, reduce human errors and improve internal control services.

The differences are as follows:

Single service and multiple services

Traditional POS is limited by low hardware configuration, different software and hardware development platforms of different manufacturers, and low communication rate. It is generally limited to payment industry applications, and it is difficult to load other industry applications.

Intelligent POS has high hardware configuration, Android operating system +HTML5 development mode, and imagination space for loading more services, which can meet various business needs of users in multiple industries and provide users with comprehensive solutions.

Upgrading is troublesome VS upgrading is easy.

Traditional POS adopts a closed embedded operating system and application programs, and products and software of different brands are incompatible with each other. In the application upgrade, different brands of traditional POS need to develop their own applications, which has a large workload of verification and testing and high development cost.

The traditional POS terminal adopts TMS mode for remote upgrade, but the upgrade success rate is low and the effect is not good because of the great difference between hardware and software of terminals of different manufacturers, complex management, slow communication speed of Modem or 2G and other factors. At present, manual upgrade is mainly used, which requires professional maintenance personnel to upgrade at the location of the terminal, and the operating cost is extremely high.
