Description

Force device {Point of sale system device}

The present invention relates to a force device, and more particularly to a force device that does not require a separate sign pad.

Point of Sale System (POS) is a point-of-sale system that provides a point-of-sale system that can be used to install a POS terminal at a point of sale to comprehensively manage the distribution economy, including sales processing, market research, inventory research, and point-of-sale management. System to ensure that

Such a force system is installed in a force device equipped with an electronic cash register function and a computer function at a sales item checkout counter of various stores such as a department store or a supermarket. Thus, the seller can automatically collect and record the sales management data (data to be used for sales management, inventory management, etc.) according to the merchandise sales at the point of sale.

In the past, a cash register was used similarly to a force device. The cash register is a fast and accurate calculation of the sales amount of the customer at the sales site, while the POS system with the current POS system collects and processes the sales information of the products purchased and uses them to process various product information and accounting information. Allows quick inquiry and management.
