3 Reasons Why Your POS System Is Out Of Date
1.Moore’s Law
Technology changes quickly. Moore’s Law states computing power doubles every 24 months. Many retail stores around the country are using out-of-date POS systems that are a nightmare for their staff and provide weak sales data. With new systems entering the market often, it is hard to pick the best software to manage your business.
At CP Commerce, we’ve partnered with NCR Counterpoint. No other POS ecosystem allows the customization our clients need to expand their business. Our customers have found we can make all the necessary integrations with warehouse and accounting departments. NCR Counterpoint is what small to medium retail businesses choose to connect their brick and mortar operations to Magento 2 eCommerce stores.
CP Commerce provides numerous support packages to our customers to help them stay on top of updates and other maintenance tasks for their POS system. This allows you to focus on your business rather than digging through complicated POS software.
As a result of COVID 19, commerce has changed tremendously. We specialize in helping our clients run brick-and-mortar and eCommerce businesses while managing inventory within both elements of their business model.
Potential customers are also looking for ‘new’ purchasing options ( ie, curbside pickup). To stay relevant, you must ensure your business can keep up with online retailers. We offer several solutions to physical store locations to implement these new standards into your sale funnel. Customers are used to this functionality and you may be losing revenue as customers look to your competitors with these services.
2.Sync
Is your accounting department having trouble keeping up with in-store and online sales? We specialize in integrating sales and inventory data and reporting it in a useful manner. We can perform specific queries on your data and customize the software around your requirements. No task is too complicated or too small. We love helping our customers succeed!
When businesses first start their venture into e-commerce, many are challenged with staying on top of inventory. If a customer wants to purchase an item and your website says it is available but you have nothing left to sell ( a customer just purchased all 10 items in-store), it is a loss of revenue for your business. More importantly, your customer is frustrated and confused.
We help our customers make an eCommerce store an extension of their physical locations while improving your customers’ experience. A satisfied customer will be sure to spread the word about their experience with your company!
3.Curbside Pickup
As a result of the global pandemic, society was forced to change the way it interacts with one another. This included maintaining 6 feet of distance and purchasing items online and pick up them up curbside. We have the technical knowledge and experience to allow you to provide this cutting-edge service to your customers.
We can integrate your Counterpoint POS system into your eCommerce store, to allow customers to puck a “curbside pickup” option when they checkout. This process can be a challenge for many business owners as it is built on complex technology that constantly changes. Without a computer science degree, it is a challenge to set up this feature for your business. Schedule a demo with us today to show you how easy we can help you get started with NCR Counterpoint and a Magento store.
If your business does not offer these options to customers, it is likely they will visit a site/store that does. Don’t let your business get left behind! Schedule a demo with us today!
Mobile Tools
Many of our clients wish they had a mobile sales point. We had so many requests for this feature, we developed a solution for the Apple App Store. (https://www.mpos-anywhere.com/)
We have leveraged the awesome power of the Apple iPhone to build a mobile full-featured POS system!
POSA is an extremely powerful tool to add to your business. With an app integrated into your CounterPoint SQL environment, you can accept credit card payments and print receipts without a desktop or cash register! You can have the same functionality as high-end retailers and grow your business.
Our customers also love the ability to adjust inventory, receive POs, and print product labels directly from our mobile app. Time is the most valuable resource to your business, and POSA will help you save time and money! This system will work with 1 location or 1000 retail outlets. Its scalability is unprecedented in the POS industry.
Key Take-Aways
Many businesses are afraid to embrace technology. We have heard horror stories of POS systems disrupting business. We build dependable systems that are built for the end-user that can be easily scaled with your business. Most of our clients prefer a turnkey solution, as it’s the easiest way to start creating revenue for your website.
