WHY BUY AN ECR TILL?

Whether your upgrading/replacing an existing system or taking your first steps into EPoS, the choice of Touch EPoS or ECR Till is one of practicality, economics and business requirements, an ECR may ultimately a best fit your business. ECR's were the first generation of electronic tills, originally replicating the functions of mechanical tills providing little more than a total sales figure. Today's ECR's offer a wealth of functionality such as barcode scanning, discounts, table management, multiple management reports, CHIP and PIN integration, Scales etc. The more advanced ECR's offer more functionality than some PC based touch systems at a lower cost, we have encountered retailers who have installed PC based touch systems costing thousands of pounds per till which are configured to be used with less functionality than our mid range ECR's at 20% of the cost!. Some of the key benefits of ECR based systems are:

• Lower cost than PC based EPoS systems
• Greater reliability than PC based
• Robust hardware
• No fear of PC virus, etc.
• Easy to use and maintain
• Standalone or networked
• No software costs
• Low annual maintenance
• Back office software available
• Ideal where sales information only is required
• Various stock management options available
