EZRentOut allows you to effectively manage your Point of Sale. It streamlines your Order Booking and Payment workflow by enabling you to add items to your orders via Barcode and QR code scanning of item labels and allowing credit card swipe and POS terminal to charge payments on these orders. You can also scan invoices of already drafted orders to pull up details of items in that specific order. Here’s a host of other actions you can take in the EZRentOut Mobile App via Barcode and QR scanning.
For this to play out well, the system offers hardware integration with multiple Barcodes and QR Code scanners to clock in item details into the system as soon as the code on an item is scanned during order booking, order verification, etc. It also offers hardware integration with credit card readers so you can seamlessly manage payments made by your customers.
