Acer Malaysia Launches POSWARE Range, Targets 1,000 Units By End-2027
PETALING JAYA, Nov 12 (Bernama) -- Acer Malaysia is targeting 1,000 units of its Acer POSWARE point-of-sale (POS) equipment in Malaysia by the end of 2027, following today’s launch of the new range.
Acer Malaysia launched the POSWARE range in collaboration with SurfsTeK Alliance Sdn Bhd (SurfsTek Malaysia), targeting local retailers and food and beverage (F&B) operators, with Acer Malaysia supplying the hardware and providing after-sales support.
Acer Malaysia senior business development manager Wong Kim Kean said the range offered hardware configurations for businesses ranging from neighbourhood cafes and restaurants to supermarkets and hypermarkets.
“Businesses could choose equipment to suit their operations, including for checkout transactions and integration with existing retail systems.
“We understand that for businesses, reliability is a main factor, just as important as performance,” he said at the launch.
Wong said Acer’s nationwide after-sales service network would provide local technical support for businesses using the equipment.
SurfsTek Malaysia chief sales officer John Lim said the launch featured an all-in-one ordering terminal and a kitchen display system (KDS) designed to work together.
“Orders placed at the front counter could be sent directly to the kitchen display, where staff could see which food and drinks to prepare.
“The ordering terminal supported self-checkout and included a touchscreen, a built-in receipt printer and a scanner that could read barcodes and QR codes. A second screen could face customers and display advertisements,” he said.
Lim said the terminal was available with Intel N95, Core i3 and Core i5 processor options, and could be configured to meet customer requirements.
“The kitchen display system featured a multi-touch screen and an aluminium casing that dissipated heat more effectively than plastic.
“Each terminal would come with a 13-month warranty starting on the date it was delivered to the end customer,” he said.
The indicative end-user prices started at RM6,999 for the all-in-one terminal and RM4,999 for the kitchen display system.
