Having a POS system in each of your stores usually adds complexity by having to deal with each and every single system that your stores use. Not only is this compounded by having to deal with each and every single system or POS, you also have to ensure that all POS that you have, updates all of the data that it contains, update the software if any update or upgrade is available and ensure that the entire POS system runs perfectly each and every time.

With a web based system from these retail software systems, not only do you eliminate the issue of cross platform compatibility, you also eliminate the risk of having to deploy each POS system in each of the POS that you plan to upgrade.

The reason to this is that a retail software company uses that web-based POS solution to its system. Simply put, a web-based POS system answers all questions regarding help and support, software updates and upgrades, instant and secure access to the entire database that you eventually build up during normal store operation.

One might ask a question if a web-based solution is in fact good enough to provide the answers to all of your current requirements. The answer is yes. Not only is the web-based POS faster to deploy, meaning to install and run in most POS systems right now, software updates and upgrades are automatic since it is server based. What I meant was that all data from the POS machines go to a central server, and any changes to the software only needs to be put into the server so that all POS machines that are connected to this server will automatically make the necessary changes.

The same holds true for data access and parameter changes from your end so that when you need to take a look at how your company is going, a report can be made showing all the data that you need to see is displayed. Since most of the retail POS software companies use the web to communicate with all of its POS ‘clients’, it can communicate with any and all POS machines that are connected to your servers to access all required information.
You can even make changes to the POS system of a particular branch or branches without making changes to any other branches from the comforts of your office if a particular situation arises that needs those changes.

One other added benefit to the web-based POS system is that you do not need to install the POS system into each and every machine that you have. All you need to do is to make sure that your POS meets or exceeds the hardware requirements of these retail POS software, create your central server and connect the POS to the server using the web.

The POS system will install and configure the machine once access to the central server is achieved. You will only need to fine tune the POS machine once the POS system is deployed properly.

There is no single system that is bulletproof but constant updates to proven technologies mean that these POS systems will have a longer software life because of immediate access to fixes and updates, software and tech support for the web POS software communications and remote interaction with the entire system.
