With the festive season fast approaching, retailers are gearing up for one of the busiest times of the year. Transaction volumes and customer activity are at their peak, and retailers must ensure their operations are efficient and scalable to meet this demand. This is where SoftPOS (Software Point of Sale) steps in, transforming Android devices (OS11 and above, with NFC capabilities) into payment terminals that help retailers go beyond traditional POS systems. While often associated with lowering hardware costs for small merchants, SoftPOS has many missed oppurtunities, particularly valuable during high-traffic periods like the festive season and beyond.
