Quite often government legislation leads to laws requiring the replacement
of all cash registers in the country. Naturally, such political events
represent a prized business opportunity for many cash register manufacturers.
Companies such as QUORiON out of Erfurt, Germany, have made a continuing
business out of fiscal legislation. As Cordula Rehfeldt, Director of Customer
Care, explains, ”Our company is in the unique position to fulfill the
needs of clients in fiscal markets, since we already implement a customer
centric approach. We address every partner’s unique needs, a skill which
we can easily extend to fiscal countries, because the governments require
all cash registers to fulfill strict standards of their law. Many countries
have very different ideas on how to accomplish fiscalization. As a result,
manufacturers who can deliver flexible solutions quickly are in demand.
This usually involves modifications to hardware and software, before a
country will allow the sale of cash registers.”
QUORiON has indeed established a respectable record, when it comes to
implementing fiscal
systems. Their fiscal cash register lines such as the QMP50
and CR 1000 have
found acceptance in nearly 15 countries ranging from Argentina to Venezuela.
In 2008 the company added a fiscal
printer to its product offering, which will allow users to also use
the QTOUCH and CONCERTO
touch screen POS systems in fiscal countries. Moreover, the fiscal printer
serves those clients, who already have a POS system in place and nevertheless
still wish to accommodate fiscal laws without having to reinvest in hardware.
Many countries struggle every year to collect enough taxes to pay for
ever increasing expenses. Especially in Europe, where social programs
and an increasingly aging population place heavy burdens on national budgets.
“ We are of course hopeful that the European Union will one day implement
its own fiscal legislation covering the entire Union.”, Frank Grueschow,
President exerts. Such endeavors would certainly be a-dream-come true
for many European producers.
