Retail point-of-sale systems today offer a wide range of options for peripherals and hardware. Their technical specifications play a major role in selection, and big retailers often choose multiple vendors to reduce a single point of failure.

This necessitates the redevelopment of point-of-sale applications, increasing development costs.
