- POS integrated with ERP is a point-of-sale system connected directly to the ERP, so revenue, inventory and accounting update the moment a transaction occurs.
- Hospital canteens handle high transaction volumes at peak hours across many counters and items — figures easily drift apart when sales, inventory and accounting are kept separate.
- ENTROSOFT has taken POS integrated with ERP live at the Bệnh viện An Sinh canteen (22/07/2026) and the Bệnh viện 175 canteen (07/09/2026).
The operational challenge of a hospital canteen
A hospital canteen serves medical staff, patients and their families, with customers crowding in at peak hours. Cashiers need fast checkout; managers need to know revenue per counter, remaining ingredient stock and actual costs. When sales are recorded in one place and inventory and accounting in another, end-of-day reconciliation is laborious and error-prone.
Why should POS be connected to ERP?
- Revenue: every counter transaction is recorded in the ERP instantly, with no re-entry.
- Inventory: items sold are deducted from stock automatically, making replenishment proactive.
- Accounting: sales figures flow straight into the books for faster reconciliation.
- Reporting: managers view revenue by counter, by item and by shift in a single system.
