The evolution of cash registers The creation of the very first type of cash registers dates back to 1975. A man named D.Braun created a device for transporting small goods and cash, and it was then that the automation of sales and reporting departments began. And in 1984 the first modern cash register appeared. The difference from the others was that it saved all operations in memory. It is because of this feature that the tax authorities subsequently established the mandatory use of cash registers In Soviet times, cash registers were produced in different cities of Russia and were bulky due to their weight (50kg +) and low functionality. Unable to meet the high demand for equipment, in 1993 they began to import cash registers Modern cash registers are fundamentally different from their predecessors - a simple keyboard set, integration of warehouse and accounting applications, barcode reading function, automatic scales and much more.
