Best POS Systems 2016
To find a POS system for small businesses, we started by looking at POS systems used by our partners and finding out what they liked and/or disliked about them. We also read customer reviews to see what other users think from first-hand experience.
We then put together a comprehensive list of POS systems from several sources: customer research, POS systems that appear on review sites and business websites, those we knew about or were previously mentioned to us. In the end, we have now several POS systems from which to choose.
