Top 7 Free and Open Source POS Software Tools The point-of-sale is the most important point-of-contact between the customer and the enterprise. This involves all the economics and management of the business as a whole. An enterprise needs point-of-sale services to differentiate orders and SKUs, calculate costs incurred, and manage your inventory and to print receipts and invoices. On the customer end, point-of-sale services are important for time management, order confirmation and to receive detailed invoices. Point-ofsale services came into the picture in the late 1800s. Punch cards and coupons were the first point-of-sale tools. Then we saw the cash registers which segregated the cash. Then came the electronic cash registers from the brilliant minds at IBM, which introduced the receipt or invoice to the customer and businesses alike. It did not take long for graphical cash registers or the first POS software tools to arrive from there on. At the turn of the century, the POS software tools were omnipresent as ever.
