Cloud means security. Because data that is “in the cloud” is stored on external servers in Germany. Why do we do it this way at ready2order? Very simple: your cash register data is always there when you need it. Even if something happens. In other words: Everything is never “suddenly gone”, but always there – even in the event of fire, flooding or tax document emergencies.
Although the advantages are obvious, not all POS providers rely on the cloud: If you want to buy a new cash register , you still have the choice between different systems: closed POS systems, which are mostly hardware-based, and open, cloud-based systems such as from ready2order.
Closed POS systems are the traditional variant: Here the software only runs on a very specific piece of hardware, which is why both are usually only sold together. Hardware-based means that the software and POS data are also on a fixed storage medium such as a USB stick. This is logical at first glance, but troubleshooting or updates with this configuration can only be carried out on site by a technician. The result: high costs and complicated service when needed.
A cloud POS system like ready2order, on the other hand, scores with real advantages: Our software works online in the cloud (ie on a server in the network). This gives you a secure footing with the tax office: we automatically, quickly and comprehensively install updates to all connected cash registers. Without worrying about possible changes in the law, you are always up to date without any action or extra costs. You can also conveniently receive new functions or updates from the manufacturer via automatic updates.
Additional plus: Thanks to cloud storage, your data is not only safe. But you also have access from anywhere and can work where you need your cash register – not only in the company, but also on the go or in the office at home.
ready2order is also a real all-rounder: our checkout app is compatible with a large number of devices and operating systems. Whether Windows, Android or iOS: With us you not only get powerful checkout terminals with everything you need, you can also continue to use your existing, supported hardware .
