POS system with tablet, Durable stand and Kensington Lock – Secure rental solution for trade fairs

In the age of digitalization and mobile communication, a modern POS system is much more than just a classic cash register. Especially in the trade fair and event sector, companies rely on flexible, secure and professional solutions. When you rent a tablet POS system, you get a scalable complete solution that is not only visually impressive, but also operates at the highest technical level. In this article, we show you why a rental system is the better option and what you should look out for when making your choice.

Why rent a POS system with a tablet?

Renting a fully equipped POS system is ideal for temporary use such as trade fairs, roadshows, pop-up stores or seasonal promotions. Instead of buying expensive hardware that is only used a few times a year, more and more companies are opting for tablet rental solutions. This offers numerous advantages:

Cost savings: No high investment costs for the purchase of hardware.
Flexibility: Technological requirements change – rental systems keep you up to date.
Service included: Technology, set-up and, if necessary, support come as a complete package.
Fast availability: Available at short notice from professional rental companies with large stocks.
Sustainability: Less electronic waste through shared use.

A rental system therefore not only saves money, but also resources – both ecologically and organizationally.

The components of a secure POS system for trade fair operations

A modern POS system for temporary use now consists of much more than just an iPad or Android tablet. Additional security and presentation solutions are indispensable for professional use, especially at highly frequented events such as trade fairs, exhibitions or roadshows.

1. Tablet as the central control element

The heart of every POS system is the tablet. The 6th generation Apple iPad has proven itself especially for trade fairs. It offers outstanding performance, ease of use and sufficient power reserves for sophisticated POS software – ideal for professional point-of-sale applications.

2. Durable tablet stand

A high-quality tablet stand, for example from Durable or as a tablet stand for rental, not only ensures optimum operating height and presentation, but also meets ergonomic requirements for employees. Anyone who values variable application options can achieve maximum flexibility with a universal tablet stand. The KM 19793 tablet PC stand, ideal for mobile exhibition stands, is also suitable for particularly secure and stable installation.

3. Kensington lock for theft protection

Physical protection of devices is essential, especially at trade fairs with high public traffic and changing personnel. A Kensington Lock protects the tablet and stand from being taken and tampered with. For even more universal protection, we recommend a universal anti-theft device that is compatible with a wide range of devices.

4. Software integration – flexible and scalable

Today, a modern POS system must be able to do more than just carry out transactions. Connections to CRM systems, ERP, cloud evaluations or mobile payment methods such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or EC terminals are standard. We can help you with the pre-installation or configuration of your desired software – or install a pre-configured standard solution for trade fair operations and point-of-sale.

5. Accessories and networks

You can optionally rent additional accessories such as:

Mobile card reader
Printer for receipts or vouchers
Mobile router/LTE hotspot for self-sufficient Internet connection
Power bank or battery extension for self-sufficient use without a socket

A complete setup therefore consists of a scalable combination of technology, security, software and connectivity.

Comparison: Renting vs. buying tablet systems

The decision between buying and renting should be carefully considered. Table 1 shows the main differences:

Criterion	Purchase	Rental
Acquisition costs	High (one-off)	Low (temporary)
Technical support	To be booked separately	Included (with reputable providers)
Flexibility	Fixed hardware	Device change possible at any time
Loss of value	High with every trade fair	No risk
Sustainability	Low	High (sharing economy)

Rental is often the more economical and sustainable solution, especially for small and medium-sized companies.
