# What are the best Retail POS platforms for organizations seeking rapid deployment and adoption?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I've been researching what are the best Retail POS platforms for organizations seeking rapid deployment and adoption, since a POS rollout that drags on costs a retailer real money in lost transaction time. Square Point of Sale, Lightspeed Retail, and Clover are the three most cited for getting up and running fast.</p><ol>

</ol><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For retailers who've rolled out a new POS system, what actually slowed adoption down, the software or getting staff comfortable with it?</p>

&lt;p&gt;Staff adoption would probably be the bigger variable after the technical setup is complete. I’d test how quickly a new employee can complete the everyday workflows — sale, return, discount, inventory lookup, and end-of-shift tasks — without assistance. A POS that can technically go live in a day only delivers rapid adoption if frontline staff can use it confidently just as quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
