QuickBooks Point of Sale User Guide
As you’re comparing costs, consider the ROI of each POS solution. One system may come with lower setup costs and processing fees, while offering far fewer features than a more expensive POS option. A POS terminal that integrates with your inventory system, for instance, may save your employees the time they would have spent manually entering information. That time can be spent taking care of other duties.
Reporting
To remain competitive, today’s businesses must use data analytics to know as much as possible about customer interactions. Your POS is the perfect tool for gathering this information, since it tracks every sale that comes through each of your locations. Use this information to track customer volumes, schedule staff, purchase inventory and prepare your budget.
Personalization
At one time, businesses were forced to tailor their operations around the built-in functionalities of their industry’s POS systems. Customized solutions had to be hired out and were simply too expensive to be practical.
Today’s POS solutions have built-in customization options, and providers have also divided solutions off into industry-specific features, such as advanced tipping capabilities for dine-in restaurants, and exchange and refund options for retail stores.
