POS With Barcode Scanner

A point of sale system with a barcode scanner provides much more utility than a simple cash register. When you use a barcode scanner with your point of sale (POS) system, your cashiers will be more efficient, and your customers will be happy with a quicker checkout experience. The handheld barcode scanner that comes with the NRS POS works seamlessly with the rest of the system and is an important tool that will help you modernize your business.

Benefits of Barcode Scanners for POS Systems

Some of the benefits of barcode scanners include:

  • Convenience: Instead of entering a product’s number, you only have to scan the item. Products from major brands already come with a scannable barcode on the packaging. As a bonus, the NRS POS comes with 100,000’s of products that are already in the system.
  • Accuracy: You don’t have to worry about entering the wrong price into your system. The point of sale does the math for you and adds the cost to the sale.
  • Efficiency: Your checkouts will become faster, leading to shorter lines of customers. You can spend the time you would use to enter items to work on business growth.
  • Inventory control: The NRS POS system automatically tracks the number of products in stock. Enter the starting amount, and the system will let you know when you need to reorder.
  • Flexibility: Create barcodes (PLUs) for in-store items, and other products that don’t come with barcodes, so you can manage every part of your inventory. If a price scans incorrectly, you can change the item information from the register.
  • Customer satisfaction: Link your system to the BR Club Loyalty Program to help your customers save money. Scan their membership card, and the POS will add discounts. We’ll refund the money needed to provide these promotions.

In other words, a barcode scanner will let you make sales more effectively, saving you time and work.

Upgrade Your Cash Register

Using Your POS Cash Register With Scanner

Our equipment makes it easier than ever to run your business. The NRS POS with barcode scanner includes a pricebook and inventory that records your products’ UPCs. Use the POS software to:

  • Manage prices: Your pricebook already has information for thousands of items that customers buy every day. If you don’t see a product in the program, you can add it with a quick scan.
  • Transfer data: If you already have a point of sale with a pricebook, you can easily transfer the products and prices to your new NRS POS. You don’t have to enter your old items one-by-one. We will teach you how to transfer your information to the new system.
  • Weigh and label items: Use our scale (optional) or an existing scale with a printer to label and scan items like produce and deli products. Print your labels at the deli counter or weigh items right at the register.

These technological features will enable your scanner, POS+ system and other equipment to work together seamlessly. The features of POS+ go beyond those of a standard cash register with barcode scanner.

Cash Register With Barcode Scanner vs. POS+

How does a cash register with scanner compare to a comprehensive point-of-sale system? Consider these differences:

Efficiency

The hardware and software included in a POS system greatly improve efficiency over a typical cash register with a barcode scanner. A traditional cash register and scanner come with limited equipment and no software. Meanwhile, a POS system has everything you need to work more effectively.

Ease of Use

POS systems simplify checkout and inventory management with built-in catalogs and touch screens. A POS’ barcode scanner integrates with the POS software so you can manage your inventory and pricebook by scanning. The touch screen interface in a POS system also makes it easier to handle transactions.

Range of Features

While a cash register offers basic features, a POS provides a full system of features. With a POS and scanner, you can manage loyalty programs, inventory, pricebook, and transactions. Meanwhile, a cash register’s barcode scanner only takes care of sales.

Customer Experience

With all of the hardware and features included in a POS system, you can improve your customers’ experience. When you scan items with a handheld barcode scanner, it shows each product on a customer-facing screen. You can also use your scanner to read loyalty cards and provide many other features that keep your clients satisfied.
