Smart Casa is a new and promising gadget for entrepreneurs. It was presented by Ukrainian developers Ukrtrimex at Kyiv Smart City Forum. The equipment under the relevant software will replace the cash register, payment terminals and ledgers for business. Convenient to both entrepreneurs and buyers.
Smart Cash is a POS terminal with a touch screen and built-in elements: a goods scanner and a check printer. The small device also includes a digital cash register, a trading and accounting automation system. That is, it has everything you need for sales and tax reporting. The solution is versatile - accepts all types of cash and cash payments, Google or Apple Pay, payment using a QR code. An important option for entrepreneurs is the device itself will prepare and submit a tax report.
Android-based software that runs the device allows you to automate loyalty programs and customize them to your specific business needs.
On the Smart Checkout screen, you can handle all software operations, even while holding it - the device is compact and lightweight. Portability makes it suitable for any business area, especially mobile - like delivery or taxi.
In March, Ukrtrimex development received a preliminary "good" from the Ministry of Finance, in the autumn - passed the tax test. The use of such a device has received the green light from the parliament: the law, which allows the use of devices such as "Smart Cash" instead of the usual cash registers, was adopted in September this year. It shall enter into force on 19 April 2020.
The gadget fully complies with international security standards. The reliability of the hardware is confirmed by the PCI PTS (International Payment Card Industry Security Standard) standard. Also, the work of payment software is based on the use of technologies and methods of the best industry standards. Thus, for payment transactions at Smart Cash, the risks of security breach are minimized, Ukrtrimex assures. In addition, if in classic machines the cashier signs the check with a separate security module from the intermediary, then Smart Cash has the option of qualified electronic signature using Mobile ID. Smart Cash uses a seven card with this ID to sign checks and reports for tax using such a signature. The tax trusts the documents signed in this way, because this technology uses a certified solution, all components of which have passed the state examination.
The developers are convinced that Smart Cashier will become an indispensable device for business, greatly simplifying the approach to payment organization and reporting. A pre-sale has already been launched on the developer's site. In addition to acquiring the device itself, there is a single monthly payment to support and automatically update the software.
The project team is working on new features of the device. For example, big data analytics can help an enterprise better understand its customer behavior or tailor loyalty programs. “Previously, such reporting services were available only to large businesses and required the costly integration of various databases. In the future, the developers plan to launch a third-party application marketplace. It expects at least commodity accounting programs, CRM systems, 1C, logistics programs and more. In development - and virtual "Smart Cashier".
