iPad Pro 12.9" 

Apple originally released the 12.9" screen size for the iPad Pro lineup. We determined this tablet was not a good candidate for a Freeform stand because it was HUGE. We, affectionately call this the "gi-Pad." When Apple dropped the home button, it was a good fit for a large Freeform stand; we're excited to add this to our lineup!

Every business owner wants their employees to have tools to boost their efficiency.

It can't happen with malfunctioning point-of-sale (POS) systems. That's why they should find the best POS for small business.

A POS system is a combination of hardware and software used for sales and inventory purposes. Other uses include tracking prices, managing tax rates, and creating special reports on your business.

Installing the traditional POS systems can be very expensive. Some of those systems can go from as low as $1000 to more than $20,000. For a small business owner, these figures are too high.

There is another option, however. Read on to learn more.

Getting the Best POS for Small Business

iPad POS systems have become a popular alternative for businesses. They are cheaper to install and simpler to use. They provide several other benefits:

• tracking data on popular products in the inventory
• identifying when there is a high traffic of sales
• working as a cash register and for taking credit card payments
• providing relevant information to customers
• boosting your business' brand by going digital
• encrypting data to secure information and transactions.

Once you get an iPad, you will need to select the software that suits your type of business. Whether you are a coffee shop, a bar, or any other type, you need a specific POS software.

The following are your options for the best POS for small business:

Vend

For those people who value simplicity, Vend is a good fit. It is a cloud-based software that loads on an iPad. It has many features despite its simple interface.

Vend helps small businesses with stock management, processing credit cards, marketing, and giving reports.

The reporting occurs in real-time, which is useful for the business owner to track how everything is running. It offers cheap monthly plans for regular users and free plans for new businesses.

The system allows the user to create loyalty programs and special promotions to attract customers.

One outstanding feature is its ability to integrate with third-party applications.

For example, people can use the Shopify add-on to manage their shopping data. Vend can also pair with accounting software such as QuickBooks. This helps in invoicing, managing data, and linking to the bank.

Square

Another good iPad POS system is Square. It helps in analyzing and tracking sales data. It also keeps a close eye on your inventory and it will send an alert when there is a drop in stock levels.

Square connects with printers and scanners in retail stores. You can use it in multiple locations inside the store without any extra charges. It also connects with magstripe readers and credit card readers.

In terms of monthly fees, it is free to use. The only cost occurs when a customer pays for something or clears an invoice.

Other great features include split ticket charging where every customer in a group pays for their own expenses. It can create an open tab for trusted customers who want to pay later.

ERPLY

Despite the strange name, ERPLY is great web-based retail software. It handles web, mobile, and in-store transactions. Once you install it on your iPad, you can access data from anywhere.

ERPLY provides CRM, inventory tracking, and sales tracking solutions. It is fast, flexible, and manages everything in real-time. It provides a central management system for multi-store operations.

Keep reading to learn about how you can choose the top iPad stand for your business.

Consider Your Customer

When you're choosing the perfect stand for your business, your customer should be the first thing you think about.

What is your stand doing to make their shopping experience better? More pleasant? More comfortable?

Choose a stand that can rotate towards and away from your customer, and one that they can easily access even from across a counter.

Also, be sure to take into consideration the height of your overall stand. Get one that, even while sitting on top of a counter, can be pulled up and adjusted according to the customer's height.

Consider Your Branding

When choosing the right stand, you need to go with one that's consistent with the overall look and message of your branding.

Even if your business isn't exactly tech-friendly, there are still ways to incorporate technology into your services without muddling the message of your brand.

For example, if you're a natural health store, you might consider a wooden stand for your registers. That way, you're combining the convenience of a better and faster shopping experience with the branding of your company.

Consider Your Registers

Anything you can do to get your customers through the checkout line faster, or even to entertain them and educate them about additional products while they wait, is always a great idea.

Choose a stand that will make your line go faster - with options like a magnetic base to ensure that the iPads will easily stick onto surfaces.

iPads and other tablets have completely revolutionized how businesses do everyday tasks. Beyond the fact that mobile technology now allows a business to conveniently sell to most customers, this technology has also made it easier to handle everyday logistics and sales matters.

One of the clearest examples of this has been the tablet point of sale. Things like an iPad POS has made the traditional cash register almost obsolete. The iPad provides a unique number of benefits and options to businesses including inventory management, instant and easy payment service, and general mobility.

Many businesses have opted to use an iPad stand to complete their POS location. If you haven't discovered the wonders of doing business with your own stand, here are a few benefits to think about.

iPad Point Of Sale

Various typical iPad POS setups include a tablet, stand, and simplified cash register that replicates all the basic functions of the old school variety. This setup allows businesses to work with customers during the purchase process.

The popularity of mobile POS setups continues to rise, which makes using a stand all the more important. Since iPads and other tablets are small, mobile devices, they present a potential security risk for a business if you don't take some necessary steps.

Benefits Of An iPad Stand

One of the most important aspects about an iPad stand is that it secures the device to a specific location. It's a lot more difficult to steal an entire stand, especially if it's made of wood or heavy metal than to steal the device alone.

More than that, it provides a stable platform for employees to work with. Holding an iPad or working with it on a flat surface can become tiring over time. A stand holds the device in an ergonomic and visible position for employees to work with throughout a typical shift.

An iPad stand will also create a sense of professionalism within the business space. Since customers are used to seeing traditional cash registers and other POS components, the stand replicates that look in a more modern and streamlined way.

Finally, many of these stands come in many shapes and sizes. This means they are perfect for adding to the overall decor of the retail or business space. Whether you prefer a modern look or something more traditional, you can often find a style that matches your general theme.

Finding The Right Stand

The iPad stand is a great way to update your existing POS using mobile technology while offering a similar look to the typical cash register. Finding the right stand is a matter of researching what's available. Many manufacturers exist and will offer different styles, sizes, and features.

Take your time and think about what you need most out of a stand. If you find the right one, you will do yourself and the rest of your business a favor.
