What happens if your EPoS system stops working? Can you afford the cost to your business?

 

EPoS Christmas GraphicWhether you sell trainers, exercise classes or afternoon teas, an EPoS system is absolutely critical to customer facing businesses across the retail, leisure and hospitality industries. Not to put too fine a point on it, if your tills stop working, and you don’t have any way to process your sales, your ability to generate revenue also comes to a halt.
What is the real cost if your EPoS system goes down? Of course a lot depends, on the size and nature of your business, and elements such as typical turnover per hour, and length and severity of the failure. But the general consensus is that, in most circumstances, EPoS failure of any type usually ends up costing you money.

Another important consideration is when it happens. EPoS outages at the busiest times – Saturday afternoons, the Black Friday and Christmas peak seasons – can go from being damaging to disastrous.
