Frequently asked questions

What is cloud based POS?

Cloud POS, also known as web-based POS, is a POS system that stores sales data, payment transactions and customer details online rather than on your local device or server. Your data can access the POS system anywhere, on any device as long as there’s an internet connection. It allows businesses to manage multiple stores with a central POS unit, access real-time data, speed up transactions, and connect the online and offline shopping experiences together.

What are the main differences between traditional POS and cloud POS?

Looking for ways to minimise cost, maximise efficiency and profit? Cloud-based POS might be the answer for your business. Here are the key differences between traditional and cloud POS:

1) Data is stored in the cloud
For a traditional POS system, the data is stored on a device or server that can only be accessed from one geographical location, while being exposed to risks such as data losses and hacks. However, with a cloud POS system, your store’s inventory data, transactions, and customer details are stored online, allowing users to access it anytime, anywhere in real-time.

2) Network Independent
Traditional POS doesn’t require an internet connection to run, since data is stored in the device itself, or at a local server. The downside is that a crash can lead to a disruption to your operation or even losses of data. Although cloud POS system works best with an internet connection, most offer offline capabilities so that certain activities, such as sales, can continue without disruption.

3) Lower upfront and maintenance cost
Software as a service (SaaS) POS often runs on a Pay As You Go model where you pay on a subscription basis, rather than a huge upfront cost of purchasing traditional POS hardware and software. It also eliminates the cost of maintaining your own data server, regular IT maintenance, and software upgrades, since cloud POS always stays up to date.

4) Flexibility
In terms of data flexibility, cloud POS synchronises data across multiple stores, eliminating the need to manually consolidate data from several sources. In terms of hardware mobility, cloud POS can be operated on portable devices such as iPad, rather than the bulky stationary devices of traditional POS. It allows customers to check out and register membership anywhere in the store, shortening transaction time and boosting customer experience.

5) Integration
Cloud POS offers the option to integrate a wide range of software or services, such as CRM, accounting software, loyalty program, inventory management, and many more. You can also integrate cloud POS systems with the software of your choice with built-in Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

6) Data Security
The cloud POS solutions we provide all comply with multiple international security standards, ensuring your data is protected from risks and external threats.

I am skeptical to make the switch to cloud POS. Will I lose my existing data?

POS migration can be daunting and overwhelming. Even with the trend pointing toward cloud-based technologies, a lot of business owners are still skeptical to switch, because why make the switch when the current system does the job? There must be a risk of losing important data right? The short answer is no, you won’t lose any historic data, and cloud POS provides many benefits at a much cheaper cost.

Cloud POS experts such as ourselves, can make the migration process as easy as you could possibly imagine. We handle everything from choosing the right POS system for you, migrating your data from your existing POS system, setting up the software and hardware, and providing training and support throughout the onboarding process.

How secure are cloud POS?

Retailers and F&B businesses handle sensitive data on a daily basis. In order to build a successful brand, data security is vital to gaining the trust of customers. We have listed 3 major aspects of how cloud-based POS systems secure your data:

1) Automatic Data Backup
There is always a risk of losing data when it comes to traditional systems. You don’t need to worry about such risks when you use cloud-based POS systems, since data is stored in the cloud instead of on physical devices. Most software providers enforce stronger layers of security by backing up your data in multiple physical servers, in different geographic locations, so that your data is still safe even if one server goes down.

2) Data Encryption
Cloud POS encrypts all your data and transfers it through encrypted connections, eliminating the risk of having your POS terminals compromised.

3) Complies with International Security Standards
Most used cloud POS systems, such as Lightspeed, comply with international standards such as General Data Protection Regulation, and Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).

Does cloud POS work for multiple outlets and inventory locations?

Cloud POS lets you manage multiple outlets with ease. Since data are synced across all connected POS systems in real-time, simply set up a central console to manage and view transactions, stock, products, members, employees, pricing, and promotions. The best cloud POS solutions are also eCommerce ready, meaning those can merge your store’s online and offline shopping experience.

Is cloud POS scaleable?

Yes, cloud POS makes scaling easy by letting users add new outlets, products, POS systems, and expand storage space anytime without the downtime of software installation or hardware upgrade.

How long does it take to set up a cloud POS?

A cloud POS can be set up in as little as an hour, that’s just how easy it is. We handle the hardware purchasing and initial software setup for our clients, so it’s plug-and-play once the device(s) reach the store.

How long will it take to learn the software?

Most cloud POS is designed with simplicity in mind. Usually, people can get the hang of it in less than an hour. We provide training and offsite support to get businesses up to speed as soon as possible.
