Overview
Epos Now is a cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) and payments provider founded in Norwich, UK in 2011. It sells combined hardware-and-software POS systems targeted at small and mid-sized retail and hospitality businesses, including clothing and convenience stores, salons, pharmacies, restaurants, pubs, cafes and hotels. The company reports serving more than 80,000 business locations across more than 70 countries, with regional offices in the UK, the US (Orlando, FL) and Australia.
The platform is split into a Retail POS and a Hospitality POS product line, both built on the same cloud back office. Core functionality covers checkout and payment processing, inventory and stock control, staff and customer management, and real-time sales reporting. Hospitality customers get table management, a kitchen display system, and order-and-pay features; retail customers get barcode and stock tools, click-and-collect and online-store sync. Epos Now also sells its own card payment processing (Epos Now Payments) alongside third-party processor options.
Beyond the core POS, Epos Now operates an AppStore of 100+ third-party integrations spanning accounting, ecommerce, delivery, loyalty and staff-management apps. For back-office accounting, it offers direct app integrations with QuickBooks, Xero and Sage Business Cloud Accounting that sync sales, products, stock, customers and suppliers into the accounting system.
