Why use an Express Retail POS System to manage my store?  

One of the focal points of any retail or hospitality business is the cash register. The ability to process transactions and tender cash are essential to the efficient operation of the enterprise.

• A POS system is computer software and hardware networked together to track sales and inventory as they occur.
• POS systems will solve a multitude of problems in your business.

Since implementation of a POS system requires a large investment in time and money, the selection of software and hardware requires careful research into the features available and associated costs.

Generally, if your business has daily average sales of 10,000.00 or more, you can achieve considerable savings and benefits from a POS system.

• From a Return-On-Investment perspective, it should pay for itself in between 1 and 2 years.
• For the new business, a POS system is a smart investment. The savings in labor hours and increase in efficiency makes balancing staffing easier, and the POS system automates many time-intensive tasks.
• Most POS software helps you stay aware of how your business is performing.

Advantages

Here are some of the advantages of using a POS system to track and manage your business:

• Reduce Shrinkage - since inventory quantities are tracked in real time, understanding shrinkage becomes easier. Every modern POS system includes receiving and inventory  functions. Proper use of these functions helps pinpoint the causes of inventory loss, reduces "out of stock" conditions and makes overall business management easier.

• Maintain Control - Many business owners discover that efficiency and customer service suffer when they're not on site. POS systems give you the ability to track volume and performance when you're not on the floor or you're busy with other tasks.

• Improve Efficiency - A POS system allows your staff to tend to revenue generating tasks such as helping customers. It eliminates the need to double-check inventory disparities and cash register reconciliation. POS systems dramatically reduce the effort required to do inventory and other repetitive paperwork. Improved efficiency means higher customer satisfaction, lower costs and higher sales.

• Timely and Accurate Reports - POS systems give you the ability to analyze sales data. You can measure the effectiveness of pricing or advertising campaign. You'll know what items need to be ordered and in what quantity. You can identify high margin items and promote them further. You can easily calculate daily gross revenue, cost and profit. Historical data analysis helps to forecast your future needs.

• Improve Customer Satisfaction - Using a POS system with barcode scanner will significantly speed up the check-out process. It gives you the ability to recognize your best customers and reward them for their patronage. It can easily collect customer data (from credit card transactions) that you can use for targeted advertising and incentive programs.

• Manage using Remote Access- Many POS system software packages give you the ability to manage the system while mobile. Whether you're traveling between stores or taking a day off, remote access gives you the ability to see what's going on at the location and take action when needed.\

• Flexible Expansion Options - Most POS system software gives you the ability to add registers and administration computers.
