The worst nightmare of any POS agent after a fraud incident will likely be POS downtime.  Imagine a day without transactions; no deposits, no withdrawals, no bill payments. And perhaps, when one transaction is marked as “successful” after many trials, the customer is debited, but you didn’t receive the funds. That’s always the height of frustration for both you and your customer. If this trend continues, you’ll continue to lose customers and profits. Before long, you might be out of the POS business than you expected.

The imagination can remain only in your head, only if you choose the right POS machine that serves you and your customers with minimal disruptions.  This post will discuss the ideal POS machine, specifically designed for POS agents, that ensures seamless transactions and more profitability.
