On Cloud POS vs On Premise POS
There a variety of options when it comes to point of sale software as it relates to data storage. You will see terms like, cloud, on-premise, server based, online, traditional, etc. The key to remember is that there are two basic types of retail point of sale software: cloud-based and on-premise. Leading retailers are moving On Cloud for the unprecedented benefits and solution flexibility.
Integrating your ERP with your POS
Too many retailers simply accept the fact that their most important systems don’t share data. The administrative inefficiencies that surround this type of environment, however, ultimately end up being costly time sucks. Redundant processes and double data entry are two of the top complaints from retailers with disparate ERP and POS systems.
Having a Scalable POS Software Allows Your Retail Operations to GrowOne of the most important features of your point of sale software in regards to your ability to expand your business and retail chain is its ability to grow with you—its scalability. Scalability is not just about being able to add more terminals to your in-store configuration. It’s also about being able to:
To determine whether a POS software is truly scalable, look for one that has open APIs. An Application Programming Interface (API) is the technical term for the platform that allows you to customise, configure and connect to your point of sale software. An open API refers to a platform that is flexible and adaptable and “open” to connecting to other technology, software, and systems.
Loyalty Programs and Your Point of SaleRetail loyalty programs are a strategic way for retailers of all sizes to build a loyal following, communicate with customers, and ramp up your marketing and promotional efforts. A digital loyalty program literally puts you in the palm of your customer’s hand by residing on their phone. The instant connection you gain combined with heightened brand awareness increases their likelihood of shopping in your store. Studies show that over time, loyal customers will spend 67% more.
Managing Inventory with Your POS SoftwareManaging inventory levels is an integral feature of a point of sale system. POS software that can provide you a single view of your inventory, referred to as a single stock pool, regardless of the channel or location the product was sold from, is a game changing benefit to retail stores and chains.
According to our 2018 shopper survey, 66.3% of consumers left a store empty handed because the store didn’t have the items they wanted and 67.3% said they didn’t have the items they needed. Likely, a large majority of these issues were related to stock levels.
Either stores were out of stock or not stocking what they needed. This highlights how important a single stock pool is and how important real-time visibility into your inventory levels are for everything from merchandising to purchasing.
