09/25/23 • 48 min
I’ve been harping on about the potential of SoftPoS to negate the need for traditional POS devices for some time however after speaking with Matt Putman and Graeme Cumming from iKhokha I now fully understand when SoftPoS sits within the POS landscape.
This is a fascinating discussion and thanks to Matt & Graeme for taking the time to chat with me.
The podcast discusses the evolution of point-of-sale devices and the impact of digital payments in South Africa. It explores how iKhokha, helps small businesses accept payments and grow their businesses. The conversation also delves into topics such as the challenges of load shedding and the increasing adoption of tap-on-phone payments.
