8, Country, Priority, UNITED STATESLeave a comment

Global Payments and Casio Electronics have been working together on a new Electronic PoS package for small high-street retailers, whom have been traditionally challenged with sourcing the separate components of their PoS solution from a variety of suppliers with hardware, software, PoS installation and support. This partnership allows the smaller merchant to install the EPoS hardware and PIN Entry Devices (PED) all from one source, making installation and training much easier to deliver and monitor on the Casio Android platform VX-100 EPoS terminal. This provides the customer-facing PoS solution, complete with stock control, appointment booking and business management tools within the core software. The Casio VX-100 takes less space on the countertop; create a typical saving of 85% against traditional Windows based EPoS solutions; and provides a built-in easy loading printer, customer display and large 10.4″ touch-screen LCD for the operator.
