Customizing Your POS to Fit Your Needs2 min read

When you buy an iPad point of sale system, you gain access to many advanced features that can help you better manage your business and increase your sales. While the features that the system includes may be more than enough to help you grow your business, you may decide that some tweaks could help you get more out of the system or to use it more easily.

Customizing your iPad POS system may help. Here are a few ways that you may be able to customize your iPad POS system to fit your business’ needs:

Applications

In addition to the primary POS system application, there are many other apps that you can download to supplement the functionality of your system. For example, you might download an app that helps you better manage your finances, or one that gives you more inventory management capabilities. You can find more advanced features or those that are specific to your niche.

Sizing and Capacity

Different iPad models feature different sized displays and different storage capacities. You can choose a smaller display if you need a more compact checkout system, or you can choose a larger display if you want to make it easier for employees to serve customers quickly. Storage capacity ranges from 16GB to 128GB, allowing you to add more functionality or serve more customers as your business needs.

Mounting

You can easily use an iPad POS system as a mobile checkout system. Employees can move from customer to customer throughout the store or your show booth as needed. However, if you want to make a more permanent display for a checkout counter, you can mount it. If you like the Apple look, you can mount it on plexiglass flat on the counter. If you want to create a more traditional POS look, you can mount it on a stand like a TV, positioning it vertically. You’ll need to think through how you serve your customers and what will provide a better experience for them.

The iPad POS system offers many powerful features that can help you improve your business. However, you can get even more benefit from it if you customize the interface or the way you use it. You might add some new apps to it, or you might create an eye-catching display. Of course, the features you choose in your base model can also help you get what you need.
