Due to the varied needs of its many booming businesses, the retail industry is often at the center of technological innovation. From gift shops to liquor stores, retail business owners are always on the lookout for the next big thing that will improve their lives and drive their profits.
Point of sale (POS) systems are one such invention. From their humble beginnings as mechanical tills, POS systems have evolved into sophisticated software and hardware packages that can run an entire shop from the palm of your hand like a pro.
Here at SimbaPOS, we believe we’ve created POS systems that give our customers an unprecedented advantage over their competitors. With this blog, we’ll run down the reasons why our retail system outshines the competition and encourages growth for the businesses that choose us.
Who is SimbaPOS?
SimbaPOS was founded in 2018 with the goal of making the lives of business owners as easy as possible. Previously, POS technology was inaccessible to a lot of small businesses who could truly take advantage of the benefits of using EPOS systems. It was at this moment that SimbaPOS was created.
We’re proud to say that since our founding, we’ve worked with hundreds of customers across East Africa. Our mission hasn’t changed in that time. We’re still dedicated to providing our customers with simple, intuitive POS software and hardware that improve their lives and drive their profits.
While we also work with customers in the hospitality industry, this blog will be focused on our POs systems for our retail customers. We’ve worked hard to ensure that our software and hardware is the best option for business owners looking to invest in a reliable POS system.
