What is a POS system and how does it help a small business retailer
A POS system is software that has been designed to make a computer operate as a cash register would, but much more than that.
A POS system for retail will help with many aspects on the business from recording the details of new stock items, tracking sales of stock, managing customer accounts, handling Lay-Bys if you do those, advising on what to reorder, helping to reduce theft in the shop, helping you compare the performance of different suppliers to the business.
A POS system will help you streamline workflow at the sales counter, reduce time needed to manage the business, make the business easier to run when the owner is not there and help provide a high level view of business performance so that you can fine-tune this to maximise opportunities for the business.
A good POS system is a quiet partner, there helping all day every day, showing a patch to efficiency and growth for the business. It is something that can evolve with the business, and it is something that genuinely adds value. This adding value bit is important for small business retail as this is where a good POS system can help the business to achieve more than otherwise might be the case.
A good POS system will also provide seamless connections for easy EFTPOS handline without extra keystrokes, selling online through a smooth integration with platforms like Shopify, managing rosters through an integration with a rostering platform like Tanda and Deputy or saving accounting time thanks to a sweet integration with xero.
