POS Software Development Service
Point of Sale (POS) software is a dark horse of the modern retail business. As a part of the omnichannel strategy, it tremendously increases profitability and efficiency. Scroll down and find out more details on the power of the POS system.
Benefits of Seamless Integration with eCommerce
With the skyrocketing growth of eCommerce, POS systems take on a central role as part of the software ecosystem. Point of Sale software bridges the gap between offline and online, allowing both to work in concert.
To unlock the power of POS software, offline and online areas of the business need to speak the same language. This can only be achieved through a seamless integration that includes the following advantages:
UNIFIED CUSTOMER JOURNEY
Seamless integration allows businesses to implement an omnichannel strategy by ensuring consistent customer experience across all channels. This immediately increases the retention rate and boosts lifetime value.
IMPROVED CUSTOMER SUCCESS
Immediate access to information about the customer’s online activities anywhere at any time allows the business to deliver more value to their customers and increase revenue by providing accurate upsell and cross-sell recommendations. In addition, cross-channel promotions and discounts are also available to further drive revenue.
INFORMED BUSINESS DECISIONS
With eCommerce correctly integrated with POS, you’re not missing a single piece of information. All your customer's data across all channels resides in one place. You are also able to access reports in real-time with no limits. This helps to make informed business decisions and uncover trends that could significantly increase the performance of the business.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Seamless POS system integration guarantees that inventory levels stay accurate across online and offline areas of the business. With real-time tracking, your business is always protected against over-selling. Features like reorder triggers directly impact efficiency and revenue.
LEVELED UP LOYALTY PROGRAM
Reward and engage your customer no matter where they make a purchase. Tight integration with eCommerce allows you to add additional value for your best customers and supercharge the efficiency of marketing activities.
Off-the-Shelf & Customized POS Software
With the problem identified, it's now time to understand how to approach the solution. Whether you need to update an existing POS system or to implement all-new technology, your business has 2 options.
First, you can implement pre-built solutions like Square, Clover, or LightSpeed. Second, for a better fit, you can engage a Solution Partner to customize those pre-built solutions for your business or develop a custom POS software from scratch. Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. Let’s dive into details:
Off-the-shelf solution
A pre-built or vendor solution is a good option if you need a fast, easy, and inexpensive POS technology. In most cases, you will struggle to receive all benefits within the chosen POS software. The inability to configure and customize the tool in the way you need will negatively impact the performance of the POS, and your business.
