Selecting point-of-sale (POS) hardware has never been more challenging –and the cost of making the wrong choice has never been higher. That is why ISOs and retailers trust E&S Consulting to help them make this very important decision.

Our POS hardware selection process begins with an extensive evaluation of your current business goals and POS environment. For ISOs, this evaluation can include interviews with merchant level salespeople to attain their perspective of what currently works and what could be improved.

Guided by this information, we research the market’s current POS solutions and recommend the two that are most appropriate for your needs. During a conference call or in-person meeting, we discuss the specific rational for our recommendations and review data point comparisons of specific costs and functionality.

E&S Consulting combines industry experience and technical expertise to determine the total cost of ownership of the POS hardware solutions we evaluate. We know what it takes to bring a product to market, from sales and helpdesk training, to the development of merchant marketing materials, to terminal deployment and application downloads.

With more than 20 years in the payments industry, E&S Consulting also knows which devices are truly state-of-the-art and which are just old technology in a new shell. On a technical level, we understand POS hardware from the processors in the devices right down to the applications. We understand why the maturity of a device’s architecture and applications matter. As a result, E&S Consulting is in the best position possible to optimize your total cost of ownership.

E&S Consulting does not sell POS hardware and receives absolutely no compensation for recommending one device over another. Our assessments are completely objective. Our clients trust our recommendations because they are based strictly on our understanding of POS hardware and the payments industry.
