Magnum E-Commerce Systems is an industry expert and a leading distributor of retail and restaurant point of sale (POS) systems. We carry the entire line of POS-X POS Systems and a broad selection of POS software and peripherals.
Todays retail POS systems consist of computers connected to other POS equipment like
bar code scanners,
receipt printers,
pole displays, and
cash drawers. These components integrate to make your customers' purchasing experiences quick, efficient and accurate. The POS software loaded on the system tracks your sales and inventory levels much more efficiently than a traditional cash register.
Restaurant POS systems will generally have touch screen monitors and use kitchen receipt printers to send orders to kitchen staff. Restaurant POS software installed on the POS system automates many tasks including table management, ingredient inventory, credit card processing and much more. For fast food, deli, takeout and delivery style eateries, we offer the POS-X Counter Service POS restaurant system specifically designed for this niche market.
From our years of experience in the POS systems industry, we've found that POS-X retail
POS systems offer our customers the perfect combination of functionality, ease-of-use, and affordability small businesses require. The POS-X POS system is available in Budget, Preferred, and Premium configurations, providing a variety of choices to fit your business needs.
Barcode Scanners
A barcode scanner is a device that reads a barcode, translates the data, and sends it to your computer as text, as if you had typed it on the keyboard. Barcode scanners can be used with many common applications, including Excel spreadsheets, databases, POS software, library applications, and inventory management software.
Magnum eCommerce Systems offers a variety of barcode scanners and with varying capabilities. We carry only quality barcode scanners from companies like: Symbol, POS-X, Metrologic, ID-Tech, Hand Held Products (HHP), PSCIntermec.

Hand held
barcode scanners are the most common type of barcode scanner, available with many different interfaces and features. Hand held scanners connect directly to a computer's keyboard or USB port. The USB barcode scanner is popular due to its versatility and ease-of-use. Many customers are also discovering the benefits of wireless
barcode scanners. Wireless hand held scanners communicate with a base station or Bluetooth node to send scanned barcodes back to the computer or PDA.

Receipt Printers
Receipt printers are an integral part of any point-of-sale solution. There are three major classes of receipt printer technology on the market today: impact, thermal, and inkjet. Most receipt printers use the direct thermal method. Thermal printers are our most popular, impact printers offer an affordable alternative, and inkjet printers offer advanced features and speed.
Magnum E-Commerce Systems carries many popular POS receipt printers from manufacturers including Epson, POS-X, Star, Citizen, Ithaca, and Samsung. Epson receipt printers tend to be our most popular printer. But thermal receipt printers from POS-X and Samsung offer similar features and quality at lower prices. Both POS-X and Samsung offer printers that emulate Epson receipt printers. Star receipt printers are a fine alternative for tighter budgets.
Our POS printers can be purchased with a variety of interface options:
- USB connections - Popular and convenient;cable length is limited.
- Parallel connections - Old school ease of setup and reliability.
- Serial connections - Great for extended range kitchen setups.
- Ethernet connections - Create an IP addressable network printer.
- Wireless connections - Use WIFI (802.11b) or BlueTooth technology.

Cash Register
Every retailer wants to create higher profit margins, prevent shrinkage, and maximize business growth. Although your old electronic
cash register might work just fine for you right now, can it really help you manage, expand, and grow your business?
Our
POS-X point of sale cash register excels where traditional cash registers fail. With a POS-X retail point of sale system you'll have full control of your inventory levels, customizable sales reporting and fast, barcode-scanning checkout. Low inventory level reports make reordering a snap and our mobile inventory kits make physical counting quick and accurate, improving productivity and decreasing downtime.
For stores with multiple
cash registers, a point of sale system really makes sense. You'll be able to network your registers together and add other POS cash registers as your business grows.
While a manual cash register provides the basics, wouldn't your customers be happier with a fast, streamlined checkout experience? The less time customers spend in line at the
cash register, the happier they'll be.
