The Toshiba TCx series is the most widely deployed POS terminal in South African retail and hospitality. Built for continuous operation in high-traffic environments, these units combine a projected capacitive touchscreen with enterprise-grade internals. TimeWorks installs and supports TCx terminals across the Western Cape, pre-configured for your specific industry.
Every product TimeWorks supplies is configured and tested for the specific demands of South African trading conditions, including load shedding resilience, rand pricing, and SARS compliance.
All TCx terminals arrive pre-configured for TimeWorks POS with built-in SARS VAT reporting. Tax tables, receipt formatting, and audit logs are set up before delivery so you are trading-ready from day one.
TimeWorks pairs TCx terminals with UPS units sized to your trading hours. The terminal boots in under 20 seconds after power restoration, and transaction data is preserved through outages via Microsoft SQL.
TimeWorks technicians carry spare TCx units and components for immediate swap-outs. Most hardware faults are resolved same day, minimising downtime during your busiest trading periods.

The 15-inch TCx terminal suits compact countertops in coffee shops, delis, and smaller retail setups. The 17-inch model is preferred in busy restaurants and supermarkets where staff need to see multiple menu categories or product lines at once without scrolling. Both use the same projected capacitive technology and run identical TimeWorks software. The choice is primarily a counter-space and operator comfort decision. TimeWorks consultants will assess your layout before recommending a screen size.
Yes. TimeWorks supplies APC or Mecer UPS units sized for your terminal configuration. A standard 650VA UPS provides 2 to 4 hours of runtime for a touch terminal and receipt printer combined. All transaction data is stored locally on an SSD and synced to the SQL server when power returns. For businesses with extended outages, TimeWorks can configure offline mode so sales continue uninterrupted and reconcile automatically once connectivity is restored.
A single-terminal installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours on site. This includes mounting the terminal, connecting peripherals, configuring the TimeWorks software with your product catalogue, pricing, and tax settings, and running staff training. Multi-terminal installations are scheduled over a full day or across two days depending on the number of stations. TimeWorks provides a pre-installation checklist so your team can prepare product data and pricing in advance to speed up commissioning.
TimeWorks will assess your current setup, recommend the right configuration, and handle full installation and staff training. No guesswork, no wasted spend.
