Emmanuel Chinagorom wrote, “WOW!, KUDI has proven to be one of the best POS companies out there. I advice u to try it. Since I started my business I’ve always believed in kudi. I’ve sold different POS bought from many other companies because of their series of network issues. But Kudi has a different story. All agent I advised to use kudi POS confirms it to be one of the best. But the software maintenance should help us. This days kudi debits our customer,& slows in showing bank account balance. The network is becoming slow.” Read full customer reviews here.
