Best Answer

A point of sale system records sales as they are happening instead of waiting till the end of the day when the "cash register" is closed out. A point of sale system or POS is better at tracking mistakes as they happen so it is better than the old cash register. A POS is more expensive than the old cash register but in the long run they will save you money as they are more cost efficient and catch mistakes.
