The problem
Generally on a fresh or with demo data odoo pos loads very fast and works quite well as it’s having limited number of products and customers. Also during the evaluation of the Odoo point of sale(POS), we only test odoo POS loading on a single terminal. Most of the businesses require a significant amount of customization to make it operationalized. After the implementation when large amounts of data like thousands of products and customers are loaded odoo point of sales start becoming slow gradually. This is called the Odoo point of sale slow loading issue.

Reasons & Solutions for Odoo POS (Point Of Sale) Slowdown
1. Products Loading
As mentioned before when you have thousands of products at the point of sale, odoo POS used to take 4-5 minutes to load the session. It is quite tedious and not feasible for any store. So as a solution, we must have to develop Product caching mechanisms to overcome product loading issue. And it will run as smooth as browsing website.
2. Customers Loading
When the number of customers increases in the system and approaches towards more than thousand customers, odoo POS will start loading slowly. Sometimes it stopped loading and the system administrator had to archive the customers to load it again. In that case, Proper customer loading and syncing mechanisms should be used to overcome customer loading issue.
When there is more than 5 POS Terminals
When the number of odoo point of sale terminals are more than five, you may face point of sale background order synchronization issues. Out of the box Odoo point of sale architecture is capable enough to handle temporary network/server failure. But when we have more number of Odoo POS terminals and the server is not tuned properly you may encounter this problem.
