What is a digital cash register?
In the modern digital era, the internet has revolutionized the way people conduct business. Digitization has made the world more accessible, and as a consumer, you are no longer limited by physical boundaries.
A digital cash register is an electronic device or software that assists in digitally recording and processing sales transactions in businesses through what is called a POS (Point of Sale) system. It replaces the traditional physical cash register and offers more features and capabilities. A digital cash register is usually connected to a platform and can integrate with other business processes such as inventory management, accounting, and reporting. Ka-ching is one such POS-system.
The smart thing about Ka-ching's digital cash register is that it can be connected to an iPad, iPhone, and newer Macbooks. This means that you don't have to go out and invest a lot of money in a new physical cash register when the new legislation comes into effect. Ka-ching's digital cash register records sales, calculates the total amount, and generates electronic receipts. Ka-ching's digital cash register helps businesses automate the sales process, increase accuracy, and, most importantly, comply with the new legislation for digital cash registers.
Ka-ching's digital cash register integrates with your accounting software
With Ka-ching's digital cash register, you can integrate your accounting system with your future digital cash register.
