Eposvo answers

Every answer below is aimed at a question people measurably search for, is written from named sources, and links to the page that handles the job itself. None of them is a landing page in disguise.

Every answer here is aimed at one thing an operator choosing a till actually types into a search box, and every one of them ends up at the same two questions: what the record has to hold, and what it costs to keep. The sheets on this site do the arithmetic. These pages say what each system does before a salesperson gets to.
