The 4 Things Tour Operators Need from Their POS Handheld Devices

Today’s tour operators want solutions that make ticket selling easy. This means having flexible POS handheld terminals powered by advanced behind-the-scenes software to make distributing and tracking tickets seamless.

Check out the top four features tour operators should look for in their POS handheld devices:

1. Convenient for Tour Operators and Agents to Use Everyday

Your handheld terminals should simplify day-to-day tasks like:

  • Selling, scanning, and validating.
  • Verifying barcodes to ensure ticket authenticity and track re-uses.
  • Accepting secure instant payments through integrated credit card processors. Find POS terminals that are PCI and EMV certified and ID/password protected.

What are the five reasons you should consider POS handheld terminals? Read our blog to find out!

2. Lightweight for On-the-Go Tour Operators and Agents

 Tour operators and agents on the move can’t be bogged down by clunky devices. They need terminals that give them the best of both worlds – a nimble design paired with a wealth of built-in functionalities.

3. Durable in Even the Most Challenging Conditions

On-the-ground agents deal with a range of weather conditions, which is why you need rugged terminals that boast benefits like dependable exteriors and high drop heights.

4. Adaptable Enough to Meet the Needs of Every Operator, Agent, and Tour

Your tour booking solutions should be flexible enough to adapt with your evolving business.

Keep an eye out for mobile tools, which can be downloaded on any smartphone or tablet, that can process ticket sales instantly and give you access to the valuable sales information.
