A question that clients love to ask without quite understanding the ramifications behind it. I usually respond with a casual “Where are you going?”, which is often met with a confused look. The point is that the answer is often linked to the direction that a business is choosing to follow. Technology like any other strategic decision should fit the business. So whilst it might be viable for another organization within the same sector to embark on a project to implement one of these options, it doesn’t mean that you have to as well. For our discussion, let’s think of the cloud as an external server that holds the software that you wish to use and on-premise as the local server that does the same thing. When deciding which option best suits your organization, business owners should always take some of the following into consideration:

Clients often come to us asking for recommendations on what type of Receipt Printer they should buy for their business. Whether you are a one-man shop or a multi-shop operation, here are a couple tips that we consider before advising our clients:
Environment – Where will the printer be operating? By far, thermal printers are the most popular type of receipt printer on the market. They work by transferring heat onto a specially treated paper (instead of ink) to generate a print. In a hot, humid or caustic environment, the paper may prematurely turn black, reducing the effectiveness of the device. You may be better off with a traditional impact printer in this environment.
Speed – How fast do you need it to be? If your business experiences heavy traffic, then having customers standing in line waiting for a receipt does not add to the shopping experience. The speed here not only includes how quickly it prints, but also how quickly it can be reloaded. Anything over 20 seconds can become an issue for a waiting customer. Thermal printers tend to be a lot faster at generating receipts and reloading than the traditional impact printer.
Devices – What devices would the printer have to interact with? Some retail systems can operate on a Mac, Android/Linux or Windows operating system. A good printer should be able to connect to any system via Wi-Fi, Apple MiFi, or Bluetooth. Age is also an issue, please ensure that the age difference between the two systems is minimal. Older technologies may have issues connecting to and operating with the newer technologies. So while it may work, you may be able to optimally use all the features. Make sure to buy the printer that best interacts with the current systems and devices that you are using.
Costs – What's the true cost of using this? The wireless versions of these printers tend to cost more than the wired versions. Also, always factor in the cost of consumables when considering the cost of ownership. The device may be cheap but is the paper / ink / ribbon costly and/or available? Who supplies the consumables locally, or is it something that I will have to continuously import? These questions carry a cost to them and should be answered before committing to a printer.
