How to choose the right billing software for a retail shop?

It is a clear cut fact that every retail shop needs a retail software or a POS software to run its business.

But, while getting a retail software, what are the things that you seek? And what should you be seeking for? 

From supermarkets to restaurants, the basic need is a billing software, but what are the things that are needed specifically to 

ease in management and operations in your retail shop? Let’s discuss.

Apart from managing payment and expenses here are the things you should be keeping in mind before investing in any POS or retail software-

Compatibility: For any kind of retail shop, the software you purchase must be compatible with the kind of machine you are already using. 

Choosing software which is compatible with PC, Laptop and tablet should be considered.

Inventory: A good POS or retail software must have a section to manage, update and record your inventory. Going out of stock isn’t an option in 2019. 

You can also have an alert when the stock of a product goes down below a specific amount.

Integrable: Well, you can’t afford to have different software for accounting, inventory, sales, payroll etc. 

Hence, a single system which can occupy everything you need to have is a must. This will help you track your business.

CRM: Nowadays, feedback from the customer is the ultimate form of reward you can get in retail marketing. 

Keeping a Track of customers along with having details of them to create proper royalty programs and discounts and letting the customer 

know you remember them can boost up your sales in the generation X and generation Z cultures. 

Safety: Now, integrating everything onto a single platform, although decreases efforts, but at the same time risk everything you have. 

And don’t forget the most precious thing you have, the customers data. All of these things including details of employees, your sales records, 

your account details all must be super confidential along with levels of access.

GUI: You can’t afford to train your employees for a month on a technology which is hard to master. 

Neither you can hire trained professionals for it. Hence, the user interface is considered one of the most important features 

to choose while selecting a retail software. Easy, catchy and understandable are the keys to it.

Reports: Nowadays, the competition is so big that you have to plan based on your past experiences with your customers. 

More than half of the customers in shops are repeat customers. Having intelligent reports based on your sales and predicting 

future sales of products and services you are offering can help your business grow exponentially.

Now, there are obviously things that you have to come across specifically for your kind of business or retail shop. 

Hence comes the ultimate feature you have to choose, which is-

Customizability: Almost all of the companies based on retail software solutions are giving customization for your POS or retail software system 

to make your business run in your own way. PAIT BIZ Pvt Ltd, a retail software solutions provider 

and hardware AMC company brings you one of the finest set of experienced professionals who will help you 

choose the correct POS for your business and also suggest you what you need to be the best in your contemporaries. 

In the end, it’s all about winning the race to the heart of your customers.

applicability to a mobility of the cashier, this type of POS fits perfectly for you all.

third-party mobile apps that can be used to authorize and authenticate the customer
without human interference.

Terminal POS: These are enhanced software- hardware integrations which provide
you all in one facility ranging cash drawers, card readers to inventories and employee
management. Most of them are generally based on cloud platforms and require continuous
connection to internet. They are majorly used by full-service restaurants, grocery stores,
salons, electronic stores etc.

All in one POS: Well this is the true future. Everything at a single point. They are literally
everything that we discussed above on one single platform. They can be sued at any

Unique Features of POS that will Effectively workout for your Supermarket

Supermarket chains are the major source of grocery and everyday items in every household in countries like India, USA etc. Running a successful supermarket means you have to take care of inventory, sales, shopping environment while not compromising with customer benefits and satisfaction.

Talking about how POS can be a life savior is like stating the obvious. Let’s look into the most required functionalities your POS system needs when you want to be successful with your supermarket:

• Inventory management
• handling inventories and tracking sales from multiple locations
• Third Party software integration
• Smart reporting systems
• Employee management

Due to the rapid advancement in technology, the supermarket owners are now aware of what kind of facilities tech can provide. They want both offline and online presence to maximize sales, endure profits and spread their market reach. Hence apart from the features that it provides, a good POS must be omnichannel and should be available on different platforms.

Now, looking at the side where the only option is to compete and win among your contemporaries, you must have some extra qualities to make your customer more than just satisfactory, because it’s human tendency to seek for more comfort. Let us look at how your POS can be modified according to your customers, your sales and your ease of handling things in your supermarket-

Supermarkets are known for discounts on all the items from their MRP. A generation Z POS is able to print the discounts and update itself automatically. Also, introducing coupons and profit club cards are now a trend. Customizing your POS to work on coupon and discount recovery from the cards can prove to be very handy when it comes to sales on large scales. Knowing the customer value by his/her past experiences with your supermarket and deploying loyalty programs is now being incorporated by many stores and have proven to raise the sales status.

Keeping many POS systems across the large area in your supermarket can improve customer satisfaction due to ease of checking out as well as getting customer care support live from the cashier and staff itself. Although, all the systems will be integrated into a single system which can handle and check live status of different POS systems in your supermarket.

Integrating cashless payment to your POS is now a necessity. But it has been taken to another level. Some supermarkets are inculcating self-checkout methods where your POS will handle everything and the customer can swipe and do the checkout himself.

A supermarket describes how much the scale of the store is. To handle such a large amount of items, a good amount of employees are required. A smart POS software can handle the number of hours worked and send live status report of infringement(if any).

You must make sure that your customer and sales data is safe. Installing POS with variable authentication systems with the administrator as a handler can not only keep your data safe from employees or someone else, but it also shows your customer that your data is in safe hands.

I guess that there are solutions available to everything, whether it is a problem faced by your customers or by you to handle your supermarket. It’s just that how quickly you understand the difficulty or problem you are facing that decides your fate among your contemporaries.
