For retailers – small or big, the conventional ringing sound of the cash register has worked well for many years. However, things have changed, no matter the size of the business; the cash registers are now attached to a computer through a POS system.
If you’re reading this, you already know what a POS is or does, so we won’t go into that detail. The popularity of modern point-of-sales system is based on its ability to not only ring up sales but provide valuable, real-time insights on customers, employees, and inventory.
Talking about the ROI, the biggest plus you get is in the shape of real-time, accurate assessment of the inventory. POS software comes equipped with the ability to subtract the numbers of items sold each time from the inventory list. This is a huge GOODBYE to maintaining a manual register for your items in stock. Not only that,but a POS system is able to tell you the time to reorder a specific item from the inventory. Sounds like less micro managing, no?
According to National Retail Federation, in US alone, retailers lose more than 250 billion dollars annually due to improper inventory management. Now that’s a big number, but what if there is a solution, (costing only a couple of hundred dollars) that can help retailers be in charge of their inventory? We say it’s a good return on investment!
In addition to inventory management, a sound POS software is your reliable partner when it comes to customer services. With customers’ purchase history at your disposal, you can actually create that personalized environment, especially for the best customers.
Let’s realize that today point of sales is way more than a place where the money comes in. With the right solution and equipment, it becomes your customer service center where customers keep on returning and business grows.

This is a little tricky. Ease of use and functionality are both essential for any business looking for a POS. These two characteristics are somehow inversely related to each other.
