POS Computer
Explanation:
There are many ways of saying this, and many interpretations, but in general, datakasser means a network of retail checkout and payment machines, or computerised tills, connected to a central article registry. Datakasse, or the POS (point of Sale) computer, is really only one of the machines, so again, we go looking for what the scribbler meant to scribble: "The member businesses in the retail chain has introduced the use of POS computers".
