As a medium-sized apparel retail chain, you have between three and twenty-five locations. It can be challenging to organize all the information from those locations. POS retail software systems are the wave of the future. Large businesses with big bankrolls have been using POS retail systems for a number of years. You may have thought that POS retail software systems were out of your league. However, there are companies who cater to businesses your size and have advanced technologies that will help your business.

Many of the original POS retail software systems required bulky servers and IT specialists and lots of overhead. None of that is necessary any longer. Companies that provide POS retail software system services now use secure servers at their central location which your existing hardware can connect to. POS retail systems actually work with Windows, UNIX and Java applications so you don’t have to have special training on a new system. There is no server to lease or buy, just a secure Internet connection. Technical support is included in the POS retail package and web-based training allows your employees to be trained on your time-table. The prohibitive long-term POS retail system contracts are things of the past. Monthly pay as you go subscriptions are the new method for POS retail system billing.

POS retail software system companies that offer Software as a Service (SaaS) are the wave of the future. They provide easy support and years of experience. Of course, you definitely want to go with a company that has installed thousands of POS retail software systems so you know that they have the experience to tailor the POS retail software system to your retail chain’s individual needs.

How does it all work? Using the POS retail company’s central server to house your information, all of your locations are interconnected. With an inventory matrix that contains information from each location you can much more easily stay on top of things and get the right merchandise to the intended destination at the right time. The beauty of the hosted POS retail system matrix is that it is updated in real time. As a customer makes a purchase, the item is not only charged to their credit card, but it is also removed from the inventory list in real time. This allows you to always know how much inventory you have at any given location through the POS retail system.

Some of the benefits of the hosted POS retail system are the fact that you can keep your customers happier. If you see that certain items are fast-sellers at certain locations but not at others, you can move your inventory. If a person wants a different size, your salesperson can immediately determine whether that size is at another location and arrange to have it shipped over. This will increase sales. Another benefit of using the POS retail system is that you will be able to reduce costs by having a constant, real-time knowledge of your inventory. Reducing costs will save you money.

Your business can move forward into the 21st century, increasing your profitability as you allow the service company to manage your data while you manage your business.
