Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions concerning rental systems.

What are the advantages of using a Point of Sale System for my business?

  • Money is kept in a secure location.
  • Calculations are faster and more accurate than figuring them out on paper or in your head
  • Reporting options allow you to quickly track financial information.
  • Greater accountability from your staff means less mistakes and greater savings for your business.

    • Is renting a POS system cost effective?

  • Yes, depending on your needs, renting may be the smart solution! By the time you rent over 6 times, you will have reached the cost of buying the system.
  • Tighter control of transactions with a POS system means fewer mistakes and less theft potential. That’s saving your business money.

    • What if I only need a POS system for a few days? Can I still rent equipment for a short period of time?

  • Yes, absolutely! There is no long-term contract with ESS and you only pay for the equipment for the days you need it.
  • Once you’re finished, return the equipment and free up the storage space required if you had purchased it.

    • Is programming a system complicated?

  • Not at all, since we do the work for you. When you rent from ESS, you receive the POS system pre-programmed, ready to plug in, and use.
  • If any questions or issues arise, our support staff will assist you with any additions or changes in the field.

    • Is operating a POS system confusing?

  • No, not at all. Learning the essentials takes under 5 minutes!
  • Training sessions and/or documentation is included when renting a POS system and the ESS support staff is available 24/7 for questions. We always strive to ensure you’re using your system as effectively as possible.

    • What if I need a lot of terminals? Is renting still an option and what are the advantages?

  • Yes, it is! Renting systems can be much more economical than purchasing in bulk.
  • Space is not an issue when you rent. You won’t need to find storage space to store all the terminals when they’re not in use. ESS owns thousands of square feet of warehouse space to service and store the equipment.

    • Are POS systems with multiple components difficult to set up?

  • No, many are ready to use just by plugging them in.
  • Detailed setup instructions are included with rentals that use multiple components, such as scanners, credit card systems, etc. ESS is also available to answer any questions.

    • What if I want to accept credit cards?

  • Options are available. We have several models that include an integrated credit card component.
  • Stand beside terminals are also available to work with or independently from a POS system.

    • What if I decide I’d like to keep the equipment long term?

  • Renting enables you to become familiar with the equipment with a no long-term contract. You’ll have the opportunity to see all the benefits it provides your business and how it makes your day-to-day operations run more smoothly.
  • Rent-to-own options are available should you decide to keep using the equipment.
