Have you opened a new business? A new point of sale? Or have you decided to upgrade the computing infrastructure in your existing business?
Be sure to choose the right computerized cash register!
The computerized cash register is the heart of business activity, the tool for management, control and supervision at the point of sale, and it is what will determine what your business will look like!
What does the computerized cash register consist of?
From hardware – the cash register itself, and software – which is embedded in the cash register and includes the important functions for managing sales and the entire store.
You can purchase the hardware and software together, or each component separately.
What should you check when purchasing hardware?
- Can we install the software we chose on it?
- Is the equipment reliable?
- Is there a warranty or on-site service for the hardware?
When purchasing software, it is more complex and you need to check the following points:
- Is the software friendly and easy to operate?
- Does it have all the necessary basic functions as well as more advanced functions?
- Is this software specific to the industry in which I operate?
- Who developed the software and what is their experience in the field?
- What does the provider's service package include?
There is so much software for computerized cash registers..where do you start and how do you choose?
See with your eyes – First of all, we coordinate a demo meeting and test the software in practice: how easy it is to operate, whether it has the necessary basic functions such as sales to the customer, invoices, credits, orders, inventory management, promotions, customer club, inventory management according to my business requirements, reports, etc.
Delving deeper – We examine the basic functions in depth. For example, does the inventory management function allow you to analyze which products sold more and which sold less, what was the selling price and what was the profit on each item? Is it worth going on sale? This data can be the basis for your marketing strategy, if it is clear, accessible and available!!
Looking for added value – We check whether, beyond the basic function, the software has added values that will make managing your business much more effective and lead you to excellent achievements. What are added values?
for example, SMS system for customers.
Checking the parents – Do your homework and find out who the company is behind the software development, how many years it has been operating in the market, and what field it specializes in. It is recommended to talk to the company's customers and ask for opinions.
Most importantly, service.service.service – When there is a malfunction in a computerized cash register, transactions cannot be made and a real financial loss occurs. Therefore, request a service agreement for the software and hardware and check what the operating hours are and how long it takes to handle a service call. Make sure you receive professional, fast and courteous service.
