This week Casio announced the release of the VX-100 EPoS terminal, which uses the Android operating system.
The VX-100 is a compact EPOS terminal equipped with a colour main display with full-touch screen operation, a sub-display for customers, and a built-in thermal printer to generate receipts. The VX-100 is designed for use in SME retail stores, and works as both a standalone system or as part of a networked system.
Additional customer relationship management and reservation management applications can be installed to enable database management of the purchase history of individual customers. The purchase history can then be used to identify preferred customers and formulate marketing strategies tailored to them.
