POS Hardware Without Inventory: A Guide for ISVs
Most software companies do not want to manage hardware inventory—and they should not have to.
Inventory introduces cost, logistics, returns, and operational complexity. But avoiding hardware entirely creates a different problem: loss of control over the customer experience.
The Tradeoff Most ISVs Face
- Sell hardware → deal with inventory and operations
- Do not sell hardware → lose control and increase support burden
Neither option is ideal.
