POS Features

Easy to use and learn

Throughout ROBOTILL are 'get help' links that will take you to the place you need to be in our  comprehensive online help.

Multiple Branches

If you enable our optional ROBOTILL Head Office support, you can update all your branches remotely, transfer stock and receive branch reports remotely.

Local Database Powered by SQL Server

ROBOTILL uses a local SQL Server database. You can use only one computer or you can link several tills (POS Computers) and back office computers. No internet connection required. 

You don't lose everything the moment your subscription ends like most cloud based systems - the database is at your site. ROBOTILL has automatic daily backups that allows you to store a backup of your database on another device or in the cloud.

POS Hardware Support

All POS hardware is optional, but ROBOTILL Supports POS Hardware including Touch Screens, Barcode Scanners, Electronic Cash Drawers, Customer Pole Displays, POS Till Printers, Card Reader (for Cashier, Supervisor and Customers).
