Open Source POS Linux Softwares

POS stands for Point of Sale is a place where a retail transaction is completed. It is not only a cash register it has many functions as it can be used to record and track customer orders, debit and credit card process, inventory management and can also create a connection with other networks. It is widely used in a small store and performs the cash drawer, barcode scanner, and receipt printer activities.
