POS Hardware Compatibility

Springboard Retail claims that its POS software is compatible with most if not all hardware. This means that you would hypothetically not need to invest in replacing your current hardware and you could just connect your hardware to the Springboard Retail software to get started. This would be great, but unfortunately a number of customer reviews mention that one of their biggest complaints it the lack of compatibility with existing hardware.

If you are hoping to get everything set up without glitches it is recommended that you invest in suggested hardware by Springboard Retail.
