The Point of Sale software, is something like a computerized cash register that the retailers use to calculate the sales and operate the cash drawer. The POS software adds up total sales, figure out the state sales tax, calculate the change back from the amount entered and can automatically adjust the stores inventory levels to debit the amount.

The Point of Sale package varies in capability, so it is the duty of the savvy retailer to assess their own needs and requirement before making a selection decision. The POS management capabilities that are needed for a multi-store will probably overkill for a single boutique store and the care it would require will not be worth the additional effort.

On the whole, the point of sale systems must be able to handle the sales, manage the inventory database, run bar code scanner and must be flexible enough to query the inventory and sales database in an easy manner.
