Acer Malaysia is expanding beyond conventional PCs with POSWARE, a new point-of-sale hardware brand aimed at Malaysian retail, wholesale and food-and-beverage businesses.
The first products announced locally are the POSWARE Smart Order F1, an integrated checkout system, and the POSWARE KDS kitchen display. Both are available for pre-order in Malaysia.
Smart Order F1 puts the checkout hardware into one system
The POSWARE Smart Order F1 combines a barcode scanner and thermal receipt printer with a dual-screen setup, reducing the amount of separate hardware needed around a checkout counter.
Acer says the system is designed for environments ranging from small cafés and retail counters to supermarkets and larger commercial operations. The company is positioning its integrated design as a simpler way for businesses to deploy or expand a point-of-sale setup while giving customers greater visibility into transactions.
The Smart Order F1 is available for pre-order with prices starting from RM6,999.
POSWARE KDS moves into the kitchen
The POSWARE KDS is an 18.5-inch Full HD display with a 10-point touchscreen and a durable enclosure. When paired with compatible kitchen-management software, it can be used to display incoming orders, organise preparation queues and monitor order progress.
The POSWARE KDS starts from RM4,999 and is also available for pre-order.
Acer is leaning on its nationwide support network
A major part of Acer’s pitch is after-sales support. POSWARE products will be backed by Acer’s nationwide sales and service network, which could be particularly important for businesses where a failed checkout or kitchen display can immediately disrupt operations.
The launch gives Acer a new foothold in business hardware outside its familiar notebook, desktop and display categories. Malaysian companies interested in POSWARE can contact Acer Malaysia directly for purchase and configuration enquiries.
