POS System Integrations. What are the Pros and Cons?

Our world is rapidly digitalising. Many POS systems are offering integration with third party softwares. POS systems that offer the flexibility may seem attractive, however, there are two sides of the coin. Here are some pros and cons of a POS system that is able to integrate with third party solutions.

Pros of third party solution linking

Add more functionality to your POS system

Being able to link up more third party solutions to your POS system, makes it easier to manage your business from a centralised system.

Better system flexibility

With third party solution linking, you can link up any third party solution to your POS system as and when you need them.

Cons of third party solution linking

Less reliable POS system

Though you may get a more flexible POS system and a centralised solution to manage your business, multiple third party integrations increases the amount of moving parts in your POS system. As we all know, the more moving parts you have, the easier it is a system to breakdown.

Such system down times, especially during peak hours may cause confusion among your staff, resulting in a loss of productivity.
