The time and location where a transaction is completed is called a point of sale. A point of sale system is computer hardware and software which manage the transaction during the sale of a product or a service. A POS system helps to capture, store, share, and report data related to the sales transaction. A standard POS system stores information on the product assortment, its pricing, product-related promotional offers, and inventory. POS terminals are available during face-to-face transactions where merchants swipe the payment tool such as debit, credit, or smart cards. Recent POS systems have the touchscreen interface that simplifies the transaction process. Industries such as hospitality, retail, restaurant, healthcare, warehouse and distribution, and entertainment employ POS terminals. A POS system automates the shopping experience and helps to expedite the checkout process, resulting in customer satisfaction. Timely inventory information, update about the stock, availability of product, and pricing information are major data which is acquired from POS systems.The report considers the present scenario of the global POS market and its strategic assessment for the period 2017–2022.
