Business owners know how big of a hassle point of sale\u00a0systems<\/a> can be. Just deciding what system to go with is a job in itself. Since the iPad, POS systems have begun to change. We have seen more and more businesses switch over to a tablet based POS system. iPad POS systems<\/a> being the most popular. While some businesses still have traditional systems, those days are numbered. And the\u00a0iPad Pro<\/a> could be the final dagger. Here\u2019s 5 reasons why the iPad Pro could finalize the iPad POS system revolution.<\/p>\n

1. iPad Pro screen size allows for the iPad POS system to do more<\/h4>\n

One of the limitations that iPad POS systems have is screen size. But with the iPad Pro boosting a 12.9 inch screen, it is much closer in size to a traditional POS system. This allows for more information to be displayed while looking much less cluttery on the screen. Restaurant systems can feature more menu items and allow hostesses to\u00a0feature more tables on a single screen. Another plus is that even with the bigger screen size, the iPad Pro\u00a0will still take up less space than a traditional POS system. All while looking good with a cash register from the future.

2. The Apple Pencil eliminates the awkwardness of iPad POS systems and makes table management better than ever<\/h4>\n

The\u00a0Apple Pencil<\/a>\u00a0will also have a big effect on the way we interact with \u00a0 iPad POS systems. First, customers will no longer have to encounter that awkward moment when they are asked to sign with their finger(if you have ever had to do it you know exactly what i\u2019m talking about). Now they are able to sign their signature with the Apple Pencil. Eliminating the awkwardness.
\nSecond, the pencil will make that over-used whiteboard diagram of the table layout in restaurants go away. Now, hostesses will be able to\u00a0draw on the diagram and make edits without having to worry about smearing other tables. And when that big party comes in and rearranges the room, the hostess can simply move tables around on the screen for a more accurate depiction of the setup.

3. Allows for managing your business on the go<\/h4>\n

Stop staying late and go home and spend more time with your family. The iPad Pro allows for you to pick up your POS system and bring it home with you. Now you can see sales, inventory, and customer analytics directly on your iPad Pro, all in real time. The iPad Pro is even better than a regular iPad because it has much better processing power. Allowing you to handle bigger files with even faster speeds. The\u00a0Smart Keyboard<\/a>\u00a0and the Apple Pencil will make editing documents easier than ever.

4. iPad POS systems\u00a0will\u00a0be more reliable than they already are<\/h4>\n

Anyone who has ever worked with a traditional POS system knows how big of a hassle it is when there is a problem. You have to call somebody, then hope they can fix the problem when they do finally show up. With an iPad POS system, that won’t be a problem. iPad POS systems were already considered way more reliable than a traditional POS system. But now with the increased processing power of the iPad Pro, it is unlikely that you will ever have a problem.
\nAnother great thing about iPad POS systems is that they are easy to maintain. You can update them just like any other app on your iPad. And in the case that something does go wrong that can\u2019t be fixed, you can easily log in with a back up iPad or even an iPhone to finish the transaction. This is something a traditional POS system can\u2019t come close to beating.

5. iPad POS Systems allow for businesses to keep up with technology<\/h4>\n

One of the major setbacks to having a traditional POS system is that keeping up with technology is near impossible. Between both software and hardware upgrades, businesses spend a fortune just trying to keep up with technology. But an iPad POS system doesn\u2019t have that problem, and with the iPad Pro’s power, it is unlikely that your hardware will be out of date anytime soon. Any hardware update that you do\u00a0need, such as an\u00a0NFC<\/a>\u00a0reader, is as simple as purchasing an add on. This contactless payment reader from\u00a0Square<\/a>\u00a0is a perfect example. It allows your business to accept things like\u00a0Apple Pay<\/a>\u00a0with very little time and money required.

Bonus- iPad POS systems allow for seamless mobile wallet integration<\/h4>\n

Since you can easily upgrade your iPad POS system to accept Apple Pay and other contactless payments, it makes\u00a0mobile wallet integration<\/a>\u00a0a breeze. You can then set up a\u00a0digital loyalty program<\/a>\u00a0through\u00a0Loopy Loyalty<\/a>\u00a0and scan the loyalty card directly from your iPad\u2019s camera. So there\u2019s no need for an external scanner. The iPad Pro’s large screen will make viewing customer analytics and designing your next loyalty campaign better than ever. And with app multitasking, you can manage your\u00a0beacons<\/a>, loyalty programs, and your POS system all at once. No need to have multiple computers.
