In today's fast-paced business world, everyone is working towards guaranteeing their customers' happiness and satisfaction. Retail and hospitality industries make major use of a POS application to manage their inventory, ease the accounting process, and handle their customer data. All these functions help to make the customer experience at the store better and more personalized.
The Zakya Express Checkout application can be installed on your Android and iOS devices, and can be used to complete a sale and create bills at the store. This mobile application is used by salespeople to reduce the queue at the store and ensure a quicker checkout process. You can print bills by connecting your mobile app with a bluetooth printer, and keep your billing table free. Bluetooth printers are a quick solution in today's fast-paced business world, as they are easy-to-use and secure. They can be connected with a mobile phone or a tablet to print bills and receipts in an efficient manner.
The printers have to be configured and connected with the Zakya mobile application for printing the bills directly. In order to do this, you have to use the Zakya Bluetooth Connector application which can be downloaded and installed from Google Play Store.
