Six checks for any POS company
| Check | Ask the company | A good answer |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Fit | Do you have live customers in my type of business (shop, restaurant, salon, pharmacy)? | Names a comparable customer type and shows the till running with your own items. |
| 2. VAT and e-invoicing | What is your e-invoicing position today, and which accredited provider do you connect to? | A dated, specific answer. See e-invoicing for POS in the UAE. |
| 3. Whole price | What is in the quote and what is not (hardware, software, set-up, training, monthly fees)? | A written quote that lists each item and the monthly fee. See POS prices in the UAE. |
| 4. Integrations | Which accounting, delivery apps and payment terminals do you connect to? | Named integrations, not "we can integrate anything". |
| 5. Local support | Who supports me, from where, and how fast? Is Arabic supported on screen and on receipts? | A named team, a response time in writing and an AMC option. See POS support and AMC. |
| 6. Data and exit | Can I export my items, customers and sales if I leave? | Yes, in a standard format, with no lock-in fee. |
These checks are the same ones in our POS buyer checklist. Ask every supplier the same questions in writing.
Dubai-based supplier or one that delivers to Dubai?
- LOCAL
Office in your emirate
A supplier with an office near you can reach you faster for repairs. Ask for the response time in writing.
- REMOTE
Delivers from another emirate
Works well for set-up and remote support, but check who attends on site and how soon. Quicknet serves Dubai from Abu Dhabi on a project basis.
- SaaS
Cloud-only vendor
Cheap to start and quick to set up, but hardware and on-site help are often separate. Confirm who supplies and repairs the till.
Which kind of POS company do you need?
- HW
Hardware seller
Sells till bundles, printers and scanners. Good if you already have software; check software compatibility.
- SW
Software vendor
Sells the POS app by subscription. Check hardware, set-up and support who does what.
- ALL
Supply, install and support
One company for hardware, software, installation, training and AMC. This is how Quicknet works. POS systems in the UAE
VAT and e-invoicing: what to confirm
UAE VAT-registered businesses must issue compliant tax invoices, and the UAE is introducing e-invoicing in phases. Do not accept a general "yes, compliant" from any POS company. Ask which accredited provider it connects to and for which dates. Our e-invoicing page records the position as of 30 October 2026 and cites the primary sources.

Choosing a POS Company in the UAE: FAQs
How do I choose a POS company in the UAE?
Compare suppliers on six checks: fit to your business, a precise VAT and e-invoicing position, the whole price in writing, integrations, local support in Arabic and English, and data export. Ask each supplier the same questions in writing.
Do you have a Dubai office?
No. Quicknet is based in Abu Dhabi with branches in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, and delivers Dubai projects on a project basis.
Is the cheapest POS the best choice?
Not usually. Compare what each price includes: hardware, software, set-up, training, support and monthly fees. A low hardware price can hide a monthly software fee or paid support.
Should my POS company support e-invoicing?
Yes. Ask which accredited provider it connects to and by when. See our e-invoicing page for the dated position.
Can I switch POS company later?
Yes, if you can export your items, customers and sales data. Ask about export before you sign.
Who supports the POS after installation?
Ask for a named team and a written response time. Quicknet offers support and an AMC option from its Abu Dhabi, Mussafah and Al Ain branches.
