Keystroke Advanced POS includes customizable Toolbars for convenient access to frequently used functions and macros for repetitive tasks.
Access to the system and your valuable data is protected by a multi-level security system with encrypted passwords and a hidden audit trail capable of recording each and every keystroke if necessary.
