The Point of Sales is developed embedding two principles: a broad range of functions and easy to use, to make it possible for the inexperienced user to use all possibilities of the software without being obliged to execute difficult manipulations.
 
The most important qualities are:

The Point of sales system can manage up to 10 different currencies. The exchange rate can be determined during the telecommunication with the headquarters.

The pay-desk system takes all operations of the electronic transfer of funds at its expense, in a totally integrated manner. All card operations are therefore carried out by the pay-desk system. This reduces considerably the costs of material necessary for card operations.

The cards which can be processed on this moment, are: Carte bleue, VISA, American Express, Cetelem, Diner's club, MasterCard/EuroCard, as well as other privatised cards spent by the petrol sector.

The experience acquired by ABS in the development of integrated card systems offers the possibility for a fast development of new cards, and this based with certainty on a reliable system.
