Benefits Of Using Cloud Based Clover POS Systems

By Betty Edwards


Payment transactions are part of the business process that was first made to be digital. This gives both business owners a better way of documenting and keeping track of the transactions that happen. A POS or Point of Sale system is essentially a cash register that does more and makes the whole accounting process so much easier.

A POS system or Point of Sale system is specially designed to improve accounting tasks originally done with a cash registry. The more recent evolved version for this is the Clover POS that has cloud computing capabilities run under and Android Operation System. The cloud is basically a virtual database that can store and process information to your liking.

The Clover can even allow you access to bluetooth scanners if you need extra printers in another area of the shop. The hardware is nothing like the older cash registers and scanners. First off, it is a tablet with touch screen features. It runs on an Android Operating System so you can be assured that there may be more advanced levels of customizations.

Specialized hardware was designed for this POS. This is to make sure that security breaches are avoided and from any outside application that may automatically download itself into the device. Even when the device can connect to other related equipment like the printers and scanners.

Aesthetically, the hardware is white and sleek. It gives a somewhat Apple vibe only it is not as expensive.All the plugs are properly color coded and makes setting it up easy. The stand is flexible and lets the tablet swing around the 360 degrees so customers can use the interface for signatures when using their credit cards.

Just like the first digital cash registers, these also process debit and credit cards. One huge and important distinction is how using credit card for processing is made so much easier and allows customer just digitally sign the receipt. If businesses would need application that are well beyond what this POS can offer, there is always the option of having a third party developer to make a specific application.

While there may be the argument that these customized applications may be a threat to security, Clover has made it a point to review third party applications and make sure they are safe for download for users. These application need to be bought though and the prices are determined by the developer that made it.

Customer support can vary depending on what application you need support for. While you may worry that there is a possibility that support would not be given for certain third party applications, Clover has found a way around that. They do not publish an app unless they are absolutely certain that it qualifies their standards. After all, your business could be on the line.

The speed and efficiency are just at the top part of benefits that you get when working with Clover. The accuracy that this offers you can save time and effort from trying to track down any discrepancies that you may find in the records. You are also allowed remote control over the system through you mobile device via the cloud.
