New Bug Is Born

A nother compact yet powerful integrated point-of-sale system is now on the market, and its creator is betting that it will meet the broadest range of retail requirements for all merchants.

Wincor Nixdorf, which provides products and solutions to the retail and banking industries, recently introduced the latest member of its BEETLE family of POS terminals - BEETLE/OnePOS.

Combining the attractiveness and convenience of an integrated POS unit with the flexibility and reliability of a modular system while leveraging the proven benefits of Wincor Nixdorf's modular BEETLE POS platform, the BEETLE/OnePOS offers retailers a level of flexibility not always associated with integrated registers.

With a wide selection of system options and a full range of peripherals from Wincor Nixdorf and leading vendors such as Epson and APG Cash Drawer, the BEETLE/One POS can be tailored to meet a retailer's specific needs. Its key features include:

- Choice of Intel Celeron or Pentium III processors - Up to 512mb RAM - Integrated LAN and video - Two expansion slots - Easy migration path from RS232 to USB+ Power ports (up to 7) - Standard set of retail-specific interfaces with power management for all peripherals - Audio interface - Optimized cable management - Cash-drawer independence for flexible mounting possibilities - Multiple keyboard, display, and printer brand and model options - Choice of Windows or Linux operating systems

BEETLE/OnePOS fits in with today's customer-centric retailing environments with an advanced, future-proof design, extensive expansion capabilities and clear migration paths for new technology.

The BEETLE/OnePOS joins the Wincor Nixdorf BEETLE family of POS terminals, which addresses the complete spectrum of customer touch points in the retail store environment with solutions that encompass thin-client POS terminals, lean- and fat-client POS systems, kiosks, lottery terminals and mobile POS devices.
