DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTERIZED POS (POINT OF SALE) SYSTEM

Abstract

The global community especially the technologically advanced world is striving to attain what has been the global information age. It is an age that is envisaged to go beyond the use of computers as a mere tool for fast information processing, rather they will also become medium for processing and transferring such information from one location to another at equally fast rate. As a result, it’s appalling that sales in developing countries have not been able to benefit much from this revolutionized age of Information Technology especially in the area of a computerized Point Of Sales. A computerized point of sale system is a computer program which carries out all the functions of a manual system and electronic cash registers and much more. An electronic point of sale system gives you the ability to store client and supplier records, create quotations which can be later converted to invoices or cash sales, keep track and categorize your inventory in an easy way and generate reports at the click of a button! With today’s high performance computers and large storage devices one can easily run his/her business on an office computer (depending on the size of the business).
