In order to stay competitive and meet the growing demands of POS users many POS solution providers are now offering MOBILE POINT OF SALES SYSTEMS to their merchants. In doing so this enables merchants to transform their smartphones and tablets into a point of sale terminal allowing for a better customer experience by offering fast transactions anywhere within the store and reducing queueing time. This also enables sales staff to deal with more customers etc. This type mPOS solution could revolutionize today’s shopping environment for both small and large merchants in all different product and market environments.

The printer also has the option of an integrated magnetic card reader for credit or debit card swipe transactions with the card information being sent via bluetooth or hard wired interface (serial or USB) to the smartphone or tablet. A belt clip to fix the printer to its user is supplied so sales staff are free to roam the shop premises.
