What is epos software and is it relevant to Australian small business retailers

W

Epos is a term usually used in the UK by companies selling POS software to small business retailers.

So, when you read about epos software here in Australia you are usually reading about POS software. A company using the term epos software is likely to be a UK company promoting, maybe overseas developed software for Australian retailers.

We would say that any software business using the epos term is a company to be wary of if you are an Australian retail business looking to purchase Australian software for. In our experience, epos software is not Australian POS software for Australian businesses. Now, that may not matter to you. If it does not matter, okay. However, if you own an Australian retail business and you want Australian developed software then it may well matter. hence us dropping your attention to the definition of epos software in this blog post.

Knowing what you buy really does matter. Epos software could be good for your business. Locally developed POS software could be good for your business, too. This is why we say do your homework, understand where the software is developed, where it is supported, the terminology that is used in the software, to be sure if it is software for your local needs, using terms that make sense to you. This is critical in the usefulness of the software.

It comes back to the term epos. If you don’;t feel comfortable with that, if it is not immediately recognisable to you, then maybe the software itself will have th same challenge. Phrases and terms do matter in the sense of ease of learning and ease of use when it comes to business management software, especially small business software.

Here at Tower Systems we make, sell and support POS software. We are a local company doing this for local retailers.

Take your time. Ask questions. Do your research.  You being satisfied matters and that is why we say look into anything that feels like uneasy, like the term epos if it is not a term that is common to you.

We serve more than 3,500 small business retailers and everyday we are grateful for their support.
