Point of Sale (POS) System. Definition: A computerized network operated by a main computer and linked to several checkout terminals . Inventory software programs now on the market let you track usage, monitor changes in unit dollar costs, calculate when you need to reorder, and analyze inventory levels on an item-by-item basis.
