Reasons to Switch to a Point Of Sale System
Inventory Management: Inventory management can be time-consuming, expensive and for some, a digital form of nightmare. A lot of products may have multiple sizes, colors, flavors, volumes, among other variations. Thanks to an accurate sales and purchase orders control, you will know how much you have in stock of each product. You may also categorize the products by name, brand, supplier, supplier code, SKU, color and a multitude of other categorizations.
If that is not enough for you, you can perform inventory counts or coordinate online store collections to organize the product catalog and adjust your inventory.
Sales in Real-Time: even when you are not in the store, you can access your back-office server remotely and know everything it is going on. We are talking about reports in real-time of Overall sales, profit after markup, sales attributed to each employee, and many more specifications. Many POS systems will allow you to customize those reports so you can see exactly what you need, from wherever you are, even when you are in the comfort of your home.
Saving Time and Money: POS systems are way faster than manual cash registers, thus making the customer – and yourself, of course – happier.
This kind of software allows you to use add-on devices to help make things quicker and make the sale faster, such as: electronic cash drawers, bar code scanners, credit card readers and receipt or invoice printers. No more writing it down on a piece of paper or summing it up on the calculator. That is outdated!
Sales Tax and accounting made easy: POS Systems will help you – some will do almost the entire work – on how to calculate your due sales tax based on the exact amount sold on your store.
POS Software will also come, in most cases, with integrated accounting modules, including general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, among other features.
Mobility:
Forget the customer waiting impatiently in queues that turn around the corner while the cashiers enter the details of each purchase manually. With a POS System you will work much faster. You will even have the possibility of using handheld and mobile devices as you please. With them, every corner of your store is accounted for and the customers do not have to go through that routine of going to the cashier, if that is the way you want to work.
With all this advantages, it has become even clearer that POS Systems are a powerful tool to help you grow your business, no matter how small or local it is.
