Retail - Distribution and Point of Sale

Do you have a retail store environment? Perhaps it's like a traditional 7-11? Or like many businesses, have you opened a retail store to directly sell the products that you buy or produce? Some of these types of stores are built right into the main distribution warehouse.

Regardless, a retail environment presents many challenges, such as:

  • Bar coding with UPC codes
  • Reconciling cash drawers (and sometimes multiple cash drawers)
  • Daily deposits
  • Credit Card Processing
  • Inventory Control
  • Customer deposits and layaways
  • Customer Returns

As a retailer, you need easy-to-use, fast-to-implement software that integrates with your accounting and inventory system. It must allow you to gain insight into your customers' purchasing habits. The bottom line – it must provide a significant return on investment and allow you to manage your business more profitably.

There are many, many Point of Sale (POS) programs available; however, many of the off-the-shelf products do not integrate to accounting - the front office does not speak to the back office.

In addition, the smaller packages do not provide the flexibility and configurability of a more robust system. Some of the more common pains of retail business owners are:

  • How do I accept multiple methods of payments on one sale?
  • How can I have touch screen technology?
  • How can I process credit cards with my POS software?
  • Will I be able to produce accurate financial statements?
  • My inventory is always off – how can I get accurate inventory quantities?
  • Can purchasing be automated and integrated?
