Buyer's guide
Questions to ask of any point of sale, including Simca. No product is ranked.
1. How do your customers pay?
Share of cash, wallets and cards decides whether a cash-first or card-first design fits. See the comparison.
2. What happens when the internet or power fails?
Ask for a demonstration with the cable pulled. Offline-first is a claim to test.
3. Where does the data live, and can you take it with you?
Ask for an export in an open format.
4. What local tax documents do you need?
Ask the vendor which are supported today, not planned. Verify with an accountant.
5. What hardware do you already have?
Printers, drawers, scanners and scales differ in driver support.
6. Who answers when something breaks?
Language, hours and channel.
7. What does the vendor collect?
Ask what leaves your device and why.
8. What is the real cost over five years?
Include updates, hardware, training and switching.
9. What can you not do?
A good vendor can say. See our own gap list.
Simca is not yet something you can buy or test, so apply this list when it is.
