Retail Point of Sale System True 7 Year TCO

Whether you are searching for a computer, tablet, or cloud based retail point of sale system, a summary of the true cost of ownership over 7 years for NCR CounterPoint SQL, Microsoft Dynamics RMS, Retail Management Hero, Bindo Point of Sale, and NCR Silver.

All based on real world numbers as I have worked with all four of these systems.



Remember that cost is only one aspect of your purchasing decision as you may find that you have the need and sales volume to justify purchasing the most expensive or the least expensive system. The goal in the video is not to pit one solution against the other but to show that mobile and cloud based POS systems have similar long term costs as traditional point of sale systems that you purchase outright.
