Business technology company Zoho has launched a South African edition of its point-of-sales (POS) solution that enables local retailers to manage billing, inventory, purchases, payments, customer relations and loyalty programmes.
The card-present, in-person payment collection tool was one of the elements Zoho was missing in South Africa and is a core tool of most businesses to enable them to collect payments easily and quickly, said Zoho South Africa regional head Andrew Bourne on July 27.
“A POS solution provides us with an advantage. Zoho aims to provide a foundational tool with features that businesses can customise to suit their needs,” he said during a media briefing in Midrand, Gauteng.
The solution has been optimised for retail and connects to the hardware present in stores, such as weighing machines and barcode scanners, among others.
The system can also manage data offline and has been used in India for ecotourism.
