In the world of technology, a small change can cause a huge shift in the way we use our computers. Traditionally, components of the personal computer have been advancing at an exponential rate. Except for the display. The introduction of the mouse to computers made them home computers, now decades later, affordable touchscreens make the home and business computer more comfortable to use.

Touchscreen have permeated our everyday lives. The stuff of science fiction has become science fact. Until recently the prohibitive cost of a touch interface monitor has kept it out of the mainstream and mostly in the retail and medical fields. Recent advances in technology have drastically reduced the cost, and by extension, the price of touchscreens. Combined with the advent of the smartphone, it has put this tech literally into our pockets.

Once someone is used to something, it becomes a part of their everyday lives. This translates from the pocket to their desktop. Visual Retail Plus has been at the forefront of touch technology since the very first incarnation of its retail software. This Point of Sale and Inventory Management System's founders saw the benefit and added speed of a touch interface so VRP was "Designed with Touchscreens in Mind" from their very beginnings.

It is part of human nature to reach out and touch things you want. It's something ingrained in us from birth. Creating an intuitive interface where the end user can literally reach out and point at what they want done significantly increases the speed of any transaction.

Processing transactions at the point of sale is all about speed and efficiency. Touching a button and seeing an immediate result is so much more natural than moving a mouse, wrestling with a cable, clicking, right clicking, double clicking all add up to time. In an industry where customers can and will walk out the door and bring the business elsewhere, every second counts. Visual Retail Plus speeds up the checkout process, with touch controls, a streamlined interface, and intuitive features.

To finalize, Visual Retail Plus enjoys a storied history of being ahead of the curve. Being designed for the touch interface from the start VRP doesn’t have to play catch up, or apply patch after patch to match the market. Point and click is now a thing of the past, touch and go is the future. Welcome to the Future. Welcome to Visual Retail Plus.
