Buyer's checklist
Pull the network cable mid-sale. The till should keep selling and sync later.
Min/max rules per store and warehouse-to-store transfers save more money than any dashboard.
Promotions should apply the same in store and online without double entry.
FAQ
One store with simple purchasing: a POS is fine. Several stores, a warehouse, or online sales: an ERP with built-in POS avoids reconciling separate systems.
