The evolution of point of sale software started with the primeval technologies available at a transaction point. Financial transaction technology began with an easy trade of products by hand, to an exchange of currency by hand, to an easy cash record and lastly to a digitally refined cash register furnished with point of sale systems. It was in the year 1992 when state-of-the-art POS software came into the limelight. Martin Goodwin and Bob Henry developed software that could be easily operated on a Microsoft Windows System. From this time POS emerged as a popular, user friendly and affordable system. Customer service has evolved to an arena that demands adaptability.
This is why most industries will find it essential to own a checkout system that is user friendly to management as well as to staff.
