Cloud based POS systems are on the increase and for good reason. Rather than storing all your data on a closed internal network, everything is stored in the cloud and can be accessed from anywhere you have access to the internet, giving you greater control over your business. This can be advantageous if you have one premises, but even more so if you have multiple, as all systems are updated regularly and at the same time, which not only increases security, but also minimises downtime due to system maintenance. Having everything stored in one place opens up greater possibilities for integration, as cloud based POS systems have potential to manage more areas of your business than before.
