In 2015, cash payments and mobile payments launched a protracted war. Corresponding in the field of acceptance terminals, the war between traditional POS and smart POS is also inseparable.
Compared with traditional POS, smart POS is indeed more in line with the trend of the times. It is easy to replace traditional POS with single-business smart pos, but the core competitiveness of traditional POS is system-based, standardized, and industrialized POS acquiring network. Smart POS needs to integrate more era elements to slowly replace it.
After the wave of payment in the QR code last year, the term smart POS is gradually becoming familiar. By cooperating with third-party payment platforms such as WeChat payment and Alipay, an intelligent POS machine can help registered merchants to dock their mobile wallets during collection and complete the payment process. Young people have learned how to spend without a wallet and go out – just use the phone to “sweepâ€, QR code payment becomes a more convenient and more attractive payment method.
Of course, the emergence of smart POS is not just a change in the way of collecting money, but behind it is a change in the way merchants operate. In the past, merchants always had headaches with a variety of problems, such as: How can consumers quickly and intuitively understand their products? How can I attract more customers to consume my products? What should I do if there is no change at the time of collection? How can I save time and effort by doing daily accounts? I don't know how technology keeps up with the Internet tide... Now, for businesses, perhaps the easiest and most economical solution is to buy a smart POS machine.
Closed VS open
Traditional POS
Usually, the traditional POS we see is generally closed, cannot be effectively associated with other devices, and does not have many means of communicating with peripherals. It is a specialized terminal for independent cash register systems.
Smart POS
The intelligent POS is open and can be easily connected with the cash register system, the ERP management system, and the member system to realize the information linkage between different systems, help the merchant to better establish data communication, reduce the business cost, reduce the manual error, and enhance Internal control services, etc.
Single service VS diverse service
Traditional POS
Traditional POS is limited by factors such as low hardware configuration, different software and hardware development platforms of various manufacturers, and low communication speed. Generally, it is limited to payment industry applications, and it is difficult to load other industry applications.

Upgrade trouble VS easy to upgrade
Traditional POS

When upgrading the application, the traditional POS of different brands requires each manufacturer to develop an application, which has a large verification workload and high development cost.
The traditional POS terminal adopts the remote upgrade of the TMS mode. Due to the large differences in software and hardware between the manufacturers, the complexity of management, the slow communication speed of Modem or 2G, etc., the upgrade success rate is low and the effect is not good. At present, it is mainly based on manual manual upgrades, which requires professional maintenance personnel to upgrade to the terminal location, and the operating cost is extremely high.
