Square, Toast, Clover, Shopify POS, and ScomsPOS compared on pricing models, hardware lock-in, and who each one actually fits.
Real screens from the register, checkout, order flow, and table management — exactly what your staff will use every day.
A cloud POS system is point-of-sale software that runs online and stores your sales, inventory, and customer data securely in the cloud instead of on a local machine. Because everything lives online, you can ring up sales, check stock, and pull reports from any device, at any location, while updates and backups happen automatically in the background.
ScomsPOS is a cloud POS system built for both retail stores and restaurants across the USA. It combines billing, real-time inventory management, CRM, and analytics in one platform — so you replace a patchwork of tools with a single system that scales from one counter to hundreds of locations. Every sale, stock movement, and report updates in real time, so every register and dashboard is always working from the same live numbers.
Run a store, a restaurant, or both — ScomsPOS adapts to how each business sells, without bolting together separate systems.
A cloud retail POS built for stores of every size — from a single boutique to a national chain.
A restaurant POS that speeds up service for quick-service, full-service, cafes, and bars.
Everything you need to manage sales, inventory, and customers — all in one powerful cloud platform.

Run ScomsPOS on a modern dual-screen smart terminal — a 15.6″ FHD touchscreen for staff and a 10″ customer-facing display for totals, tips, and payment prompts — in a clean aluminum build with concealed cables. Prefer your own gear? The same software runs on any tablet, phone, laptop, or desktop.
