Why Retailers Need to Adopt Cloud POS Software?

Article | June 7, 2024

There is no denying the fact that being adaptable, smart, lean, and agile is the key to remaining profitable in today’s fiercely competitive retail space. And this requires retailers to stay technologically updated and upgrade payment solutions to offer the convenience and satisfaction customers are looking for. To keep up with today's customers, businesses need modern payment solutions that enable them to respond quickly to changes in the market and make it easy to sell both in-store and online. This is made possible by cloud technology. When it comes to B2B software as a service (SaaS), cloud point of sale (POS) software has transformed the retail business sector by providing greater flexibility, convenience, mobility, and scalability than ever before. Most POS software available today either already works in the cloud or is getting ready to do so. Key Features Compelling Retailers to Migrate towards Cloud POS Solutions Once thought of as tools only needed to keep track of sales records, POS platforms, especially cloud-based POS, have grown into powerful platforms in the past few years that can integrate a wide range of retail operations, such as marketing, inventory, data analytics, and accounting, among others. Here are some of the most important features encouraging retail stores to use cloud-based POS systems: Real-Time and Centralized Inventory Management Modern cloud-based POS solutions enable retailers to start selling online along with managing inventory after the product sale, return, or exchange of the product. It also provides reliable, accurate, and real-time information, allowing retailers to make smarter decisions, increase sales, and enhance communication for in-store and out-of-store operations. Flexibility to Work from Anywhere, Anytime This is a crucial feature. Using a cloud-based retail POS solution, retailers can access vital information from anywhere in the world, at any point in time. Providing convenience is second to none. Moreover, it can assist retailers in making more insightful and faster business decisions with access to warehouse activity, individual sales channel performance, sales, staff, and customers—and benefit from clear, actionable reports. Manage Customers from Every Channel in One Dashboard Today, retail consumers shop locally, digitally, and cost-consciously. What's important to note is that being omnichannel is not only about making sales in all channels, but also about providing shoppers with a smooth and seamless shopping experience. This means making it as simple as possible for customers to locate your online or offline store, buy from you, interact with your business, or even return some products. Cloud-based POS solutions assist retailers in having a centralized view of their entire retail business along with managing all sales, customers, logistics, replenishment, and inventory in a single, central cloud database dashboard. Maximum Security and Reliability Data security and reliability are both crucial features of cloud-based POS. Cloud-based systems are far more secure than on-premise server-based systems. In the case of on-premises POS, retailers are responsible for all the security measures, making data vulnerable to disgruntled staff or external hackers. Using cloud-based retail POS, the data is stored on the cloud servers equipped robust with firewalls and security systems, providing maximum data security to the retailers. Final Thoughts Following the industry's initial skepticism of this new development, every retail business is likely to shift towards cloud POS today or tomorrow. Hence, leading cloud POS companies are emphasizing on launching innovative solutions to cater to the demand for advanced POS solutions in the forthcoming years.

Getting smart about payment terminals

Article | February 15, 2024

For many years, payment terminals have been a vital tool for businesses that complete their customer transactions in-store. The familiar hand-held devices have reliably taken card payments and offered simple additional services like mobile phone top-ups, cashback or electronic tipping solutions. However, with recent technical innovation, boosted by the urgency surrounding Covid-19, the humble payment terminal is shedding its hard exterior - no longer is it, as some would argue, simply a commoditised, hardware-based necessity. As many within the payments space have predicted, the payment terminal is truly becoming a digital enabler and vital pivot point of modernisation for any business that accepts electronic transactions. The Android Operating System leads the way Today, payment terminals come in many forms. Though the traditional, handheld counter-top devices remain, many businesses now use off-the-shelf smartphones or tablets enabled with SPOC and CPOC technology. Regardless of their physical form, truly modern payment terminals share a commonality – enhanced functionality which allows businesses to update and adapt quickly to changing performance, environments, and customer needs. The Android operating system has been at the centre of a latest wave of innovation, facilitating the rise of mobile payment devices - pushed hard by the likes of Visa - and supporting the budding versatilities presented by Open Banking and PSD2 initiatives. Combined, this new choice and flexibility has the potential to deliver significant advantages to businesses deploying Android point-of-sale (POS) solutions. These include integrated EPOS, strong authentication, and an array of alternative payment methods such as bank-to-bank payments, QR codes and even crypto currencies. It’s about more than being just Covid-ready Getting the timing right to make adjustments and improvements is now a focus for businesses across the UK as we start to emerge from Covid-19 restrictions and resume face-to-face interactions. The conventional payment terminal can play a central part in engineering the essential adjustments needed to create a Covid-safe environment – the new £100 contactless limit being the most obvious example. However, functionality provided by the latest payment terminals allows businesses to do more than just make their premises Covid-ready. For more commercial gains, payment terminals running on the Android OS allow for this same POS functionality but combine it with other essential business systems such as stock management, visual itemisation, and centralised booking systems. As well as providing greater visibility of a business’ health and finances, more information also means friction points such as wait times and queues in store can be better managed. More data about customer behaviour also makes the in-store experience more customisable, for example, businesses can use this data to identify their busiest periods, explore seasonal changes or test new product lines and structure their staff planning and stock levels accordingly. Coupled with more vital operational efficiencies, payment terminals can allow for a speed and flexibility of payments that can directly enhance the bottom line. As the pace in retail environments ramps up to match that of the pre-Covid days, meeting new customer expectations and new environmental changes will be critical in staying relevant. An ability to accept the latest types and methods of payment could actually play a part in helping a business survive through difficult economic times. Bolstering cash flow will also take on added importance as businesses rebuild. Payment terminals powered by better internet connections mean transactions are already faster, but internet speed alone is not enough. Today, terminals can be updated in ways that allow merchants to process those transactions faster still and get funds deposited into bank accounts in batches throughout the day, often completing within the hour. Payment terminals and Big Data With data becoming the bedrock of all modern businesses, it is the Android operating system’s ability to generate such an impressive wealth of data that adds to its compelling proposition. The value of Big Data and analytics to filter large volumes of information and uncover actionable insights is well known to the business world. Useable information can help leaders learn about their customers, make better decisions and, ultimately, produce more revenue. Customer data, for example, makes it possible for a business to learn about the buying behaviours of an individual customer or of defined customer segments. When a business knows the time of day (or night) their customers shop and what type of purchases they make, it becomes easier to plan when inventories are stocked and with what items. Android payment terminals can provide data in a way that offers easy visibility of key trends and which specific hours of the day produce the most sales, allowing businesses to investigate possible reasons and react accordingly. Such knowledge can then be used for a variety of purposes including the ability to upsell to future customers with greater success and the tactical arrangement of items in store. Crucially now, it will also enable businesses to maintain a Covid-safe environment by planning ahead for in-store activity and capacity limits. With hundreds of applications already available to download from the app store, it’s important that SMEs are able to use this scale of choice to their advantage rather than become overwhelmed or distracted by it. Indeed, by taking the time to explore the apps available, smaller businesses can find the tools which allow them to level the playing field by bringing their operational efficiencies in line with larger brands and by leveraging the solutions that allow them to compete on customer service.

COVID-19 will bring lasting innovation to retail

Article | June 7, 2024

To say these are interesting times for the retail sector would be an understatement. COVID-19 has created a dichotomy the likes of which we've never seen before. On the one hand, a large percentage of retailers have closed up shop temporarily either in response to regulatory mandates, or due to dwindling customer foot-traffic. And on the other hand, a number of retailers remain open for business and under great strain as nearly all remaining retail traffic is funneled to grocery stores, pharmacies, hardware stores and big-box retailers considered to be essential in the eyes of regulators.

Top emerging technologies transforming the retail experience

Article | April 16, 2020

Due to the latest technology innovations to hit the market, today's retail environment is changing at an unprecedented rate. From robots that can identify shoppers' purchasing habits to immersive virtual reality experiences and the increased popularity in BOPUS, the shopping experience has dramatically evolved in recent years. Consider this: if the average shopper were to hop into a DeLorean time machine, travel back in time to the early 1990s and shop for a sweater; they wouldn't be able to shop online or through a mobile app. Instead, they'd be forced to drive from store to store, aimlessly perusing through aisles and asking sales associates to check store inventory stock via a paper ledger. That shopper would quickly realize just how big of a difference technology makes in the shopping experience.
