POS terminal systems have evolved from transaction-oriented terminals/devices to systems that integrate with the company's financial solutions and CRM. The evolution has empowered end-users with business intelligence (BI) to better manage their revenue streams and inventory. Accurate transactions, lower maintenance costs, and real-time inventory are critical advantages of point-of-sale systems. With the several functional benefits that the advanced point-of-sale systems offer, companies have replaced traditional billing software with POS systems, thus securing the growth of the point-of-sale (POS) systems market. Modern POS terminals reduce the cost of deployment, setup, power consumption, and maintenance over time, leading to the cost of ownership. Several vendors offer modular point-of-sale terminals with attributes such as low power consumption and touchscreen displays, which helps reduce ownership costs. In the past decade, the market competition pattern of China's domestic financial POS sub-industry has been relatively stable. The main brands of electronic payment acceptance terminal equipment that can form effective market competition in this field include PAX Technology, Ingenico (Landi), Newland, and NEXGO. In recent years, the competition in China's domestic POS equipment market has become increasingly fierce, and gross profit margins have continued to decline. Major manufacturers have gradually shifted their sales growth focus to overseas markets.
