Complete systems
A complete POS system, working on day one
Software, lanes, counter hardware, the payment path and the people who set it up. A system is all five working together — which is why we sell it that way rather than as a list of parts you assemble.
Nationwide remote implementation. Tampa Bay onsite service and showroom.
What is included in a complete POS system?
A register and its software, however many lanes the store needs, the peripherals each counter uses, a payment path, and the implementation work that turns all of it into something staff can run on a Monday morning. Leaving any one of those out is what produces a system that technically works and practically does not.
The part most often left out of a quote is the last one. An item file that nobody built and staff nobody trained is why a good system has a bad first week.
- The platform, not just a tillInventory and reporting are what the platform is for, not a spreadsheet beside it.
- Every lane the store actually needsLane count is sized against the busiest hour.
- The peripherals per counterScanning, printing, cash and weighing are what staff touch.
- A payment path decided with the systemIntegrated or separate is a workflow decision.
- The implementation work, namedItem file, programming, training and go-live are the project.
This page does not price a system or list what a package contains. Scope decides the number, and the specification comes before the quote rather than after it.
What a system is made of
Five parts, specified together
Each links to the detail. None of them is optional in practice.
The platform
Infinity POSInfinity for retail. Restaurants and bars run a separate path on LINGA.
The lanes
Payment outage planningHow many registers, where they sit, and what happens when the connection drops.
The counter
Hardware for InfinityReceipt printing, cash drawers, scanning, labels and scales.
The payment path
Merchant processingFor Infinity, Bold or Hybrid, reviewed against a real statement before either is recommended.
The implementation
Installation and trainingItem file, programming, training and go-live.

Build a POS systemThe five decisions in the order they get made.
What "complete" is meant to prevent
-
Hardware arrives and nothing is configured
A box of equipment is not a system, and the store still cannot trade.
Programming and item file are part of the build, not a later purchase.
Item file setup -
Staff meet the system on go-live morning
The first week is spent coping instead of selling.
Training happens before go-live, deliberately.
Installation and training -
The old data never makes it across
Years of item history abandoned because nobody scoped the move.
Data conversion scoped from an actual export.
Data conversion -
The network was nobody’s job
Lanes drop and each vendor blames the other.
Network setup is named work with an owner.
Network setup -
Support is a question nobody asked before buying
The first real failure becomes an emergency.
Who answers, and when, is agreed as part of the system.

Questions about complete systems
What does a complete POS system cost?
We specify the system first and quote against that, so the number is attached to something real. What a POS system costs sets out what moves the number.
Can I buy just the software?
Yes, and plenty of stores do — particularly when existing hardware carries over. We check what you already have before specifying replacements.
Do I have to buy everything at once?
No. A replacement is usually staged, and which lanes move first is part of the specification.
Is installation included?
Implementation is quoted as part of the system rather than assumed. What it involves depends on the item file, the lane count and whether data has to move.
Do you sell outside Tampa Bay?
Yes. Systems are sold and implemented nationwide, remotely. Tampa Bay additionally gets onsite service and a showroom.
