POS Launch Advisory
OEM selection, deployment planning, certification requirements and launch readiness for POS programs.
The Problem
Why This Matters
Most POS initiatives start with hardware decisions and quickly evolve into broader operational challenges. OEM selection, certification planning, deployment strategy, inventory management, merchant onboarding and support structures all influence long-term success. Small mistakes made during the launch phase often become expensive operational problems later.
Patterns Observed
Warning Signs
OEM selection decisions create long-term operational constraints
