Mobile-first POS? mPOS? Is there a difference – or is it just semantics? Aptos ONE POS is a mobile-first application. By that, we mean that it was designed for use on Apple and Android operating systems. But unlike some of our competitors’ mobile POS offerings, Aptos ONE POS is a fully standalone, feature rich, enterprise grade omnichannel POS. 🔹 You can deploy it as a fixed POS station in a store. 🔹 You can deploy it as a mobile POS used for activities such as line-busting, assisting customers in-aisle, pop-up shops, etc. 🔹 Or you can have a combination of fixed POS stations and mobile devices running Aptos ONE POS. It’s THAT flexible. While Aptos ONE’s tech footprint is light (no store servers required!), its functionality is not. And for our customers, that’s a big differentiator. Do you feel there’s a difference between mobile-first POS and mPOS? 💭
