Two Things Your POS Software Must Do
Your POS (Point of Sale) is a very important point indeed. This is the point where the commitment takes place on the part of your customer and the payment for your hard work doesn’t happen without that sale. If your POS is inefficient when this transaction takes place then it has detrimental effects on both customers and staff. ChainDrive Point of Sale business software is designed to address the inefficiencies that prevent this all-important transaction from being a point of pain for both parties.
