Point of Sale Systems

Keep Revenue Flowing with Resilient Connectivity

Modern retail requires on-demand connectivity. From countertop terminals and mobile checkout devices to self-service kiosks and pop-up retail activations, today’s point-of-sale systems must remain secure, and reliably connected. Even a few minutes of downtime can mean lost revenue, frustrated customers, and operational disruption.

Zipit empowers OEMs with resilient connectivity and powerful connectivity management and billing tools, all designed to help POS device manufacturers deploy, manage, and monetize connected retail solutions at scale.

Questions?  We've got answers.

Dive in deeper to frequently asked questions POS manufacturers.

Why should POS systems include cellular connectivity if stores already have broadband?

Broadband outages happen. Embedded cellular provides automatic failover, ensuring transactions continue uninterrupted, revenue loss is minimized, and customer satisfaction is preserved. Contact our Sales team today to get learn more. 

Can Zipit support global retail deployments?
Yes. Zipit offers global SIM solutions and works with Tier-1 carriers to support international retail brands expanding across borders.
How does Zipit simplify billing for POS deployments?

Zipit consolidates multiple carrier charges into a single, easy-to-understand monthly invoice and can support automated recurring billing models for companies that offer connectivity downstream to end customers.

Is cellular connectivity secure enough for payment transactions?

Yes. Modern cellular networks use advanced encryption and authentication standards. Combined with PCI-compliant payment processing infrastructure and secure device design, cellular connectivity provides a highly secure path for transmitting transaction data.

How can we control connectivity costs across thousands of retail endpoints?

Zipit offers pooled data plans, usage monitoring tools, and automated alerts through our Connectivity Management Platform. Combined with consolidated billing, this enables better forecasting, margin protection, and simplified financial oversight at scale.

How does multi-carrier connectivity improve transaction reliability?

Retail transactions are highly time-sensitive. Multi-carrier connectivity ensures POS devices can maintain network access even if a single carrier experiences congestion or outages. This reduces failed authorizations, minimizes downtime, and protects revenue during peak traffic periods.

How does Zipit help reduce operational complexity for distributed retail networks?

Zipit consolidates multi-carrier connectivity into a single relationship, a single management platform, and a single invoice. Instead of juggling carrier contracts, fragmented reporting, and inconsistent billing cycles, retail technology providers gain streamlined visibility and simplified operational control across their entire device fleet.
