As consumer choice increases and buying habits evolve, the way in which small businesses deal with customers and process transactions has become a vital part of the overall shopping experience. Epson has developed two new additions to its ever-expanding range of compact mPOS devices: the TM-m30II and TM-m30II-H.

Both models feature enhanced functionality, connectivity and allow the user to free up valuable counter space thanks to the compact, discreet design and small footprint.

Both models are aimed at those working in specialist shops, boutique outlets, small restaurants, bars, coffee shops, delis and food trucks; the TM-m30II can even be used in self-ordering kiosks. Both receipt printers will also benefit independent software vendors (ISVs) too by providing ‘ship-and-forget’ mPOS solutions that are reliable and simple to set up.

Hugh Davies, Epson business development manager: business systems Southern Africa, says: “Being able to expand and improve our range of mPOS printers will allow smaller retail and hospitality businesses, from boutique stores to food trucks, to be more agile and better serve their customers every day.

“We’re pleased that the level of connectivity offers users greater flexibility, and the tablet ‘sync and charge’ functionality of the TM-m30II-H is truly impressive. We’ve taken the iconic TM-m30 cube and have made it even more appealing to a wider audience.”
