Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about our POS and surveillance solutions.

What is a POS (Point of Sale) system?
A point-of-sale (POS) system is an integrated set of hardware and software that businesses use to complete customer transactions and manage key operations. It allows companies to accept payments, record sales, monitor inventory, and handle other daily business tasks from one centralized platform. Most modern POS systems include a touchscreen PC, payment processing device, POS software for managing inventory and reporting, and optional accessories like barcode scanners and receipt printers.
How do I accept credit card payments with your POS System?
Our solutions are payment processor agnostic and work with all payment devices. We work with all major processors in all 50 states.
How long does it take to set up my point of sale?
Most installations are completed within 1-3 business days, depending on the complexity of your setup. We work around your schedule to minimize disruption to your operations.
Can I use my own POS Hardware?
Our software is Windows based and works with most certified compliant peripherals. This will save unnecessary expenses by purchasing new hardware. Our support team will confirm compatibility and only takes a few minutes.
Can I transfer my inventory to your POS System?
With our POS, you can transfer your existing data from old to new software. The process of transferring data is simple and secure. Our team will help you in the migration process.
