Finding the perfect retail pharmacy POS system isn’t always easy, especially considering that new technology seems to hit the market so often that it’s hard to keep up with it! But one thing that’s here to stay is pharmacy software that runs on mobile POS systems, even for small pharmacies. Take a look at the points below to find out more about the advantages of mobile POS systems for independent pharmacies:

• Mobile POS systems are quickly becoming an important part of the POS system industry on a global level, and in recent years, they have represented a huge portion retail POS sales. Surveys have that the number of mobile POS terminals grew by about 111% from 2011 to 2012, and now number over 9.5 million terminals. Experts predict that this will cause the mobile POS value to reach 46% of market share by 2017, which shows just how popular and strong the industry is.
  

• Many smaller stores are hesitant to invest in a mobile POS software system because they think that it will be much more expensive than a traditional POS system — but it’s important to realize that manufacturers have put a lot of effort into creating operating software just for smaller businesses. By taking out unnecessary features that only large chain stores would use, these systems can provide state-of-the-art POS features that are actually useful and store managers don’t have to worry about wasting money on features that won’t be used.
  

• Last but not least, the obvious advantage of a mobile POS system is that you can conduct transactions from anywhere in your store (and even outside of your store), which is a huge advantage for businesses that serve many patients with mobility restrictions. Your customers should always come first, and with mobile pharmacy POS systems, you ensure that your customers are getting the best service every time they walk through your doors.
