The offer of an interest free loan from the Herald & Weekly Times to Victorian newsagents to fund a move away from the POS Solutions DOS software has engaged many of the remaining 180 POS DOS users. The non-compliant POS DOS software has been holding back technology advances for newsagents for too long.
It will be interesting to see how News Ltd handles the same problem elsewhere. My estimate is that of the 700 POS Solutions newsagent users, around 40 are still using DOS. The Victorian move at least offers a model for consideration.
