I've worked on many kinds of POS systems (still install and train) and they all do basically the same thing; the only difference between them are the specific business needs and the quality of their service.
If you need to save some $$$, instead of thousands of dollars on some of these POS solutions that I deal with, you could try OpenBravo POS.
It looks very good and is open source, so you can tailor it to your needs. You can use the data in any way you see fit. It will run under any OS (Java Based). See the "Technology" section for more details about what you can export so you can use OpenOffice.
It supports a wide range of hardware; this makes it easy for businesses to save money on start up cost and overhead, you only get what you need.
