  • Hypermarkets
  • Mass Merchants

What do you define as POS?

The publisher believes it is important to state clearly the definitions of what is classified as a POS device. For the purposes of this analysis, the publisher defines POS as PC-based workstations, namely PC-class Processor-based and LAN-available terminals. Although others might include Electronic Funds Terminals as POS, the publisher does not include them here.

In this research, the publisher includes PC on Cash Drawer Devices (PCOCD), however, the publisher does not attempt to distinguish between vendors unless a particular market is affected significantly.

The publisher does not include Electronic Cash Registers (ECR’s) in the study. Although the lines have blurred as to POS and ECR in terms of processors and connectivity, the publisher believes there is a clear distinction in functionality, expandability, and serviceability between the devices.

As this report also looks at market segment information, it is important to distinguish the types of institutions the publisher includes in each market segment. These are the following:

  • Food/Grocery: This is a grocery store, and size can range from a single-lane, mom-and-pop store to a multi-lane full service supermarket.
  • Drug Store/Pharmacy: This is store that sells personal care and medicinal items and can have from 1-5 terminals per store.
  • Hypermarkets: This is a broad segment that varies by country. In many, it includes a full service Food store as well as products typically included at Discounters under one roof. In other countries, stores can range anywhere from a Superstore format (think Wal-Mart Supercenter) to a full-line Department Store (with large appliances) combined with a full-line Grocery store.
  • Department Stores: Traditionally larger format stores, upscale in products and including hard and soft goods with department style checkout.
  • Mass Merchandisers: Like a Hypermarket format, only carrying non-food items or limited food items and using a front-end checkout. Also includes Discounters.
  • Specialty Stores: Stores that focus on particular product line niches. Includes apparel, news, shoes, and DIY type stores.
  • Hospitality: Includes Restaurants, Bars, Pubs, Hotels, and Convenience Store outlets.
