In an industry where employee turnover is high, simplifying point-of-sale (POS) operation has resolved a major issue. An Elo touchscreen's natural, direct interface helps reduce training time and operator error. A touch-enabled, graphical user interface enhances time-sensitive operations from store checkout to the returns counter. Touch-based systems do much more than speed up customer processing: more and more department stores, specialty chains, grocery stores, and convenience stores are using their touch-based systems to capture and analyze detailed transaction data, while building a comprehensive customer database to help them better manage their businesses. Today, one system can provide POS functions, timekeeping, labor scheduling, inventory control, management reporting, accounting, promotions, and marketing. The results: a speedier, more organized service, and happier customers who keep coming back.

Elo countertop/desktop touchmonitors are perfect for a wide range of retail POS applications where cost, rugged design, and flexibility are top criteria. Countertop/desktop POS systems can fit into less space with a smaller footprint than older cash register systems.

Point-of-sale touchmonitors are available with a host of touch technologies. AccuTouch five-wire resistive is the most widely used technology for POS applications. The POS system may be subjected to harsh conditions on a daily basis. For example in a convenience store liquid splashing, food and grease on the touchscreen, and aggressive cleaning are typical. The AccuTouch technology handles these issues better than any other technology, at a competitive price. CarrollTouch infrared technology is also very robust in POS applications since it is highly durable and can be sealed against liquid splashing.

Elo also provides a broad array of custom touchmonitor and touchcomputer manufacturing services. Elo's Custom Solutions are a great resource for your specialized touch requirements.
