Hi all.

After searching, I can't find much on this topic. Finding a PC for the job or finding pre-built all-in-one systems is easy. The hard part is finding the rest of the parts separately.

What I think I need in a complete POS system:
A compact PC (client and server) with open source software.
Cash Box - Connected to the PC to open & close automatically.
Touch screen built for POS (more sturdy).
Barcode printer using standard size easy to find paper. Paper suggestions?
Barcode reader. One for sales and one for inventory. I think the inventory barcode reader needs a long wireless connection.

I think I need code 39 or 128 since it's for international locations and needs to hold characters and numbers.

Miss anything?
If this question is dumb, please point me to where I can search this info in more detail.

thanks!
 


Thanks for the post. I can get a pre-built system, but that's difficult to customize.
I have reasons for wanting to build a POS. Mainly I can customize the client so it work with a larger system.
It will be build for other companies.
 


Oh. You're going into the "building and selling POS systems" business.
That's a whole different thing.
