When is it time to start using a POS system?
Switching to a point of sale system from a cash box or money apron
can help your business increase profits, allowing you to
save time doing things you already do and generally make life easier.
Find out if you can apply these principles to your business.
How will you Increase Profits?
-
SECURITY
Keep your cash secure by recording every time the drawer is opened. This promotes accountability from the cashiers, thereby reducing theft.
-
ACCURACY
A simple, straight-forward method of accurately calculating sales helps verify you are getting paid the correct amount for each piece of product or service sold.
-
CREDIT CARDS
Most customers expect to be able to pay with a credit card. Don’t miss out on these sales! People who pay with a credit card are also inclined to spend more.
How does using a POS system Save Time?
Faster Transactions
Whether you press buttons or scan barcodes, the more items you’re selling, the more time you save while keeping track of it all. The faster you serve each customer, the more customers you can serve.
End of Day Reporting
Finding out how many of each product you’ve sold at the push of a button is much faster than taking manual counts of inventory. Gathering sales data electronically sure beats entering it by hand.
Tax Calculation
Calculating the amount of tax you owe can be a tedious and costly task if you make a mistake. It gets even trickier if you have both taxable and non-taxable items, include tax in the price or deal with multiple tax rates. A POS system can do this job in a fraction of the time.
How can a POS system Make Life Easier?
-
PRODUCT TRACKING
Monitor inventory levels with the help of a point of sale system, and you can receive notifications when it’s time to reorder. No need to stress about running out of product.
-
CREDIT CARD INTEGRATION
Simplify your life by combining credit card reports and getting end of day reports from a POS system. A credit card machine gets even better when integrated with a full system.
-
PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT
New technology can be scary, but when a knowledgeable professional does the set-up and is available 24/7 for any questions along the way, you’ll enjoy piece of mind.
