There is also a RAID hard disk option, utilising a twin hard disk drive configuration. The WILLPOS A20 can be set up to replicate business critical data and afford industry leading levels of protection from data loss.
As well as being stylish and having an ultra-compact footprint, the WILLPOS A20 has a uniquely sealed design to resist spills and dust, along with support for solid state drives and memory that resists extreme shocks and temperature variations.
“The retail and hospitality industries are facing increasing competition and many businesses – of all sizes – are demanding advanced and reliable POS solutions that afford them a real competitive edge,” Mr. Kusunoki said. “And there’s no doubt that with the WILLPOS A20, this is precisely what they will now be able to achieve.”
The WILLPOS A20 has been designed to achieve the perfect balance between style and performance – without compromise and represents the ideal solution for any retail and hospitality environment.
