How does a tablet POS helps a seller?
As a seller you can decrease the payment time by increasing the number of computers. But this solution has a drawback. Increasing the number of counters means more number of computers and that directly increases the associated cost. You can cut down on the cost by attaching the terminals to a central server but even that proves to be quite expensive.
Now you can increase the number of counters with the help of tablets. The cost of a tablet is way less than that of a full blown desktop computer.
So now in order to increase the number of counters, all you need is some tablets and card readers.

Tablet POS makes you future proof:
Big players in the market such as Apple and Google are trying hard to change the very fundamentals of the payment systems.

Traditional computers might prove to be incomputable with these mobile payment systems when the shift finally happens. But with a tablet POS, you can be sure that when the time comes, you will be ready and well equipped to handle the change.
