Running a retail business, particularly one with more than one outlet, can be an exacting occupation. There are so many elements to this type of enterprise - stock control, stock rotation, pricing, point of sale transaction recording and collection of marketing information such as customer buying habits.



Using a fully integrated Point Of Sale (POS) software solution:




  • stock availability between outlets can be accessed instantly by staff on the shop floor, or at the

  • check out or customer service desk

  • re-order levels can be set to automatically trigger a purchase process

  • check out processing will be quick and easy

  • sales reports can be easily compiled showing all manner of information

  • customer information can be stored

  • marketing campaigns can be run



all with the minimum of paperwork and fuss.



It is no longer necessary to have one set of records for stock ordering, one set of records for order picking in the warehouse, another set of dispatch records and so on, but all information can be entered and collated into, and then accessed from, one central database.



Imagine not having to install software, run a server or having to employ an IT expert to maintain the system. Well due to the capability of modern technology, this is possible, companies now offer not only amazing pos software solutions but also systems that run from one single central database, stored at their hub.



Gone are the days when running your stock control system through a connection network where one datbase location has to log into a central database, in order for that central system to be able to query another database location in order to gain the information you are seeking. Too many databases cause issues with data polling, data corruption and delays. Those days are gone. Today's new generation software has data stored on one major hub, with revolving communication between individual terminal locations, providing a continuous stream of data flow, saving time, and cutting down on technical issues. Gone are data polling issues, database corruption issues and frustrating delays.



This type of point of sale solution allows the retail operator to access information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all year round. Using portable communications technology, it no longer matters where you are, you can access information by logging into the central hub. Any staff member with authority to access you system is able to access required information from any terminal, in any location at any time of day or night.



That means retail business operators have more freedom than ever before, the POSsibilities this brings are endless - work from home one morning a week, check up on stock levels during a meal at your favourite restaurant, dial in while travelling to work on the bus, train or ferry, or even take a holiday!



Yes, at last the imPOSsible is POSsible - you can have a holiday and still be able to keep an eye on things back at the ranch, within reason of course. So don't POStpone, act now.
