Postas Unveils Smartphone POS for Retail
In a significant move for the retail industry, Postas Corporation, headquartered in Chuo, Tokyo, has announced the upcoming launch of its innovative Smartphone POS system, set to debut on June 23, 2025. This cutting-edge mobile payment solution integrates the robust features of the company's POS+ retail system directly into smartphone devices, revolutionizing point-of-sale operations for retailers.
Features of Smartphone POS
The new Smartphone POS combines the comprehensive POS functionalities of POS+ retail with the convenience of cashless payment solutions, such as credit card processing. This enables retailers to conduct transactions seamlessly from any location within their stores, making the customer experience more fluid than ever.
Instant Checkout Mode
One of the standout features of the Smartphone POS is the "Instant Checkout Mode." This mode allows sales associates to process customer payments anywhere in the store by simply scanning product barcodes or selecting items on the device. Thus, the need for a centralized checkout area is greatly reduced, allowing for a more flexible shopping experience.
Pre-Processing Mode
The Smartphone POS also offers a "Pre-Processing Mode," designed specifically for use during busy events or seasonal promotions where long checkout lines are common. Retailers can prepare customers' transactions in advance, issuing receipts ahead of time; customers can then simply settle their payments at a designated area, alleviating congestion and wait times.
These dual modes of operation not only cut down on physical space needed for cash registers but also transform the way customer service is approached, merging sales and customer engagement.
Postas's Commitment to Retail Efficiency
Postas remains dedicated to enhancing productivity within the retail sector through the introduction of specialized cloud-based mobile POS systems and self-service kiosks. These advancements are aimed at helping service providers across various industries, including restaurants, retail stores, beauty salons, and clinics, improve their operational efficiency.
In addition to the Smartphone POS, the suite of services includes several tailored solutions: POS+ food for restaurants, POS+ beauty for salons, and POS+ healthcare for clinics, alongside self-service options like POS+ selfregi and mobile self-order services.
