The Xentral POS (Point of Sale) is an integrated cash register solution within your Xentral ERP system. It enables you to process sales directly at physical locations – from individual transactions for walk-in customers to complex invoicing for business customers. Whether you work in retail, at trade fairs, or with multiple branches: Xentral POS is flexible and supports both B2C and B2B business models. The POS accesses your item master data, warehouse, and financial accounting in Xentral directly – without any additional systems. This integrates point-of-sale transactions seamlessly into your processes.
Why an integrated POS in the ERP makes sense
Why an integrated POS in the ERP makes sense
A POS (Point of Sale) integrated directly into your ERP system brings decisive advantages for your daily business: In-store sales automatically flow into inventory, accounting, and customer history – without any duplicate entry or system breaks. This saves time, reduces sources of error, and ensures that all business areas (e.g., shipping, purchasing, or controlling) can work with up-to-date sales data in real time. Especially for growing companies, this means: more transparency, less manual effort, and a better decision-making basis from a single system.
