Small business owners need to get insights from their purchase data to grow. Point-of-sale (POS) technology not only makes it easy to accept the latest payment method but they also give owners great insight to their business via real-time reporting. With this data, you’re empowered with ways to grow sales, say, through an online storefront.
POS masters Vend introduced a cloud app that collaborates with business owners to sell products in-store and online. Augmenting your customer dataset can help you make inventory decisions, develop a customer loyalty program, and see product performance immediately. No longer do you need to track sales across channels in spreadsheets and hard copy records.
Integrating Vend: Making Your Workflows Seamless
When multi-channel sales begin to flourish, proper customer engagement and inventory management techniques are needed to keep customers happy. Traditional sales methods can’t keep up with changing purchasing behavior or competitors in your market. Given this, it’s important for POS data to be available and accessible throughout the business. Such insights inform staffing strategies through HR apps, merchandising plans through inventory management apps, and customer targeting through marketing automation apps. With data integration, an automatic digital customer loyalty program could have triggered customer spending incentives or for an inventory management program, product re-orders. By itself, Vend is a proper POS system, but it will not manage your workforce or automate your accounting and invoices until it is completely integrated with your other apps.
