How EPOS Drives Business Growth

Back in the day, your point of sale was just that - the place where customers paid for their shopping. Modern EPOS systems are way more than the cash registers of old. Nowadays, they centralise business processes. Even if you have a small or new enterprise, it is an integral tool in growing your business and profits.

Read on to see how EPOS features add value to your business.

Taking Stock

Stock management is an intrinsic part of business efficiency and a good EPOS system easily puts you in the driving seat.

Sales analysis – Your EPOS system gives you an overview of what stock sells when. This data enables you over time to predict sales volumes and order accordingly. This data also enables you to see any stock that is selling slowly, or even languishing unsold, taking up valuable space in the store room or on the shelves, not to mention eating up valuable working capital.

Sales analysis also guards against disappointing your customers by products being out of stock. Your EPOS shows you sales rates and supplier lead times so you can anticipate more accurately rates of sale.

Sales data gives you the ability to see seasonal fluctuations and be able to plan accordingly.

Utilising promotion features allows you to easily set up special offers for both seasonal busy times or to encourage the sale of slow moving stock.

Purchasing – A good EPOS system allows you to easily manage your suppliers. Set up lead times, minimum order or value quantities, bulk order discounts etc. against each supplier. And you only have to do this once! It’s also easy to manage returns/damages stock. This all helps you to anticipate demand. Supplier templates make the oft laborious task of purchase ordering much more time efficient.

Customer Service

Your till can be as important as your window display. With a good EPOS system you can offer great customer service, with the ability to easily see stock availability and product information – no more abandoning your customer to feverishly rifle through the stock room!
Good quality till hardware with touch screen technology makes for swift service. Integrating your EPOS software with card payments speeds things up further as the sales total transmits direct from the till to the card machine, eliminating the need to input the total separately and eradicating keying in mistakes. Opting for a larger customer display means you can also advertise your ‘must haves’ products and current promotions.
