Retailers are able to provide a faster service to their customers while at the same time acquiring valuable transaction information which can be used to their commercial advantage in many different ways. Meanwhile the rise in Internet shopping is driving this technology still further as adopters realise the benefits of providing common back office systems for both EPOS and e-commerce.

Know I.T. Consulting has been active in this field for a number of years and has helped to develop a variety of products with essential EPOS elements.

EPOS applications vary greatly but they all have the following requirements in common:

• They have to be totally accurate
• They have to be totally reliable
• They have to be totally secure
• They have to completely recoverable in the event of hardware failure
• They have to rely on the minimum of user training

Know I.T. Consulting actively supports EPOS manufacturers by firstly advising on the strategic options relating to the underlying software, and then secondly taking responsibility for the subsequent software development. We take pains to ensure that our software meets all the requirements listed above, plus any specific standards which are appropriate for the product.
