Definition

  • Electronic point of sale (EPOS), also called more simply point of sale (POS), is a system that performs all the tasks at checkout and provides transactional data. The POS data can be shared and can be used to aid vendors in tracking merchandise on consignment, defined by Michael Levy and Barton Weitz as items not paid for by the retailer until they are sold.
