- Increased accuracy: EPOS systems are less prone to errors than cash registers, as they automatically calculate the total amount due and generate receipts.
- Improved efficiency: EPOS systems can help businesses process transactions more quickly and efficiently.
- Increased data insights: EPOS systems can generate reports that provide businesses with insights into their sales, inventory, and customer behavior.

Here are some examples of electronic point-of-sale systems:
- Square
- Shopify POS
