FAQ

 

  Q1: What is the main advantage of a dual-screen POS terminal over a single-screen device?
  The second screen gives the customer direct visibility into the transaction as it happens — item list, prices, applied discounts, and the final amount — without having to wait for a paper receipt or ask the cashier to repeat the total. This transparency reduces disputes at the point of payment, builds trust, and creates a natural channel for upsell prompts, loyalty balance updates, and promotional messaging. For the operator, it also reduces the time spent answering customer questions about what was charged.
  Q2: Is a dual-screen POS terminal more difficult to set up and maintain than a single-screen device?
  Not significantly. In Telpo’s lineup, the second display is integrated into the same device rather than being a separate peripheral requiring its own cable management and power supply. The customer-facing screen is driven by the same system as the main screen, which simplifies both initial setup and ongoing software maintenance. Remote device management through Telpo MDM allows operators to push software updates, monitor device health, and adjust the content shown on the customer display across an entire fleet without visiting each location.
  Q3: Can the customer-facing screen show advertising or promotional content between transactions?
  Yes. This is one of the most commercially relevant use cases for the second screen. When a transaction is not in progress, the customer display can run promotional campaigns, loyalty program messaging, digital menu content, or brand communications. For retailers and food service operators, this converts what would otherwise be idle screen time into a passive marketing channel that reaches customers at the point of purchase — the moment when purchasing decisions are most active.
  Q4: What is the difference between a smart POS like the M10 and a traditional cash register like the C9?
  The core difference is openness and extensibility. A traditional cash register is optimised for a defined checkout workflow — scanning, totalling, tendering, and printing — and integrates tightly with its own software environment. A smart POS runs on Android, which means it can install third-party applications, connect to cloud-based platforms, and be customised through open SDK access to match the specific operational needs of the business. In practice, the M10 can handle payment, loyalty management, inventory lookup, and customer data capture within a single device, whereas the C9 is designed to do the checkout workflow exceptionally well and integrate with a broader ecosystem of peripheral hardware.
  Q5: Is the Telpo P9 suitable for businesses outside banking and financial services?
  Yes, although its design priorities — EMV and PCI PTS 6.x certification, handheld form factor, and multi-payment support — make it a natural fit for environments where payment security standards are formally required. Outside financial services, the P9 is used in high-security retail, field sales, insurance, and any scenario where a certified payment terminal needs to accompany a service representative rather than remain fixed at a counter. Its fingerprint scanner also makes it useful for identity verification workflows that go beyond simple payment.
  Q6: Can Telpo dual-screen POS terminals be customised with a company’s branding?
  Yes. Telpo offers OEM and ODM customisation services covering UI design, logo integration, hardware colour and finish, and functional adaptations. For B2B operators deploying devices across multiple locations under a single brand, this means the customer-facing screen can present a consistent brand identity rather than a generic device interface. Customisation scope and minimum order requirements vary by project — contact Telpo directly to discuss specific requirements.
