In this age of modernization and development, a touch screen POS machine is a logical next step ahead for every business that still uses traditional POS machines. These touch screen POS models are the latest trend in the retail, restaurants, and other hospitality sectors.
This newer POS billing machine simplifies many things – from managing several business aspects to dealing with sales transactions between you and hundreds of customers per day.
Many businesses are opting for these touchscreen POS systems for their excellent benefits and nifty feature sets. This increase in demand has led several different companies to manufacture these machines. Pine Labs is a forerunner among these manufacturers, providing FinTech solutions to its customers.
Ease in Payment Transactions
Billing and payment are an integral part of any business. However, long queues, prolonged billing processes, and payment delays can adversely affect your number of customers. Therefore, a quicker and seamless billing/payment procedure is essential for existing buyers to maintain business with you and attract new customers repeatedly. A touch-screen POS machine eases this transaction much more, offering the following:
- A record of physical money moving to-and-from can be managed.
- If the mode of payment is a credit or debit card, then the customer’s related bank details can be recorded with just a swipe.
- Instead of mechanically pressing buttons and clicking during the billing process, you can navigate through these sections quicker simply by using your finger.
- Invoice generation and printing receipts/customer copies can also be done in seconds due to the better accessibility through the touch screen.
Ease in Managing Employees and Maintaining Record of Employee Related Data
- The check-in time, check-out time of all employees can be noted.
- You can divide work and assign it to the employees. A record of the work assigned to every employee can then be maintained.
- The number of hours an employee worked for the day, and the details of whether or not the employee took any breaks in those hours can also be easily tracked.
- In the latest touch screen POS models, you can also maintain and manage in-depth details about the number of working days of the employees, the number of leaves taken by them, their salaries, etc.
- In shops with multiple billing counters, details of the employees at those counters, how many billings they have done, etc., can also be viewed and managed efficiently.
Managing Sales
In industries like retail, there is a large amount of stock. This stock is billed in not just one but multiple counters. It is a complex task to manually maintain a combined record of all the stock sold in these numerous counters. Hence, it is advantageous to have a POS system machine as it has all the latest features for creating an easy network between all the counters and then maintaining all their records on a centralized system.
User-Friendly
The touchscreen POS machines are not as high-maintenance as the regular manual systems. They do not quickly encounter problems, and they do not consume much time for booting up. If any issue occurs, getting them serviced is very simple. Also, the interface in these touchscreen machines is very detailed and easily understandable. It only takes about a day to get familiarized with the interface and how it works.
Greater Reliability and Advancement in Your Business
A touch screen POS machine has more security and reliability features built-in. Using these systems in an increasingly tech-savvy world increases customer confidence and satisfaction, creating a positive community outlook for your business. This brings in more users and boosts business revenue.
Secure Data Storage
Instead of a physical, on-premises backup, the latest POS system machines come with secure, cloud-based storage solutions that are fault-tolerant and highly available.
Sales Analysis
- Several sales-related analytics, e.g. which products or which section of products are most preferred, which company products are high on demand, which are the least sold products, etc. can be analyzed using the POS.
- The availability of stock, the speed at which various sections of your stock are moving, etc. can also be analyzed through the latest touch screen machines.
Conclusion
Whether you are running a retail shop, a restaurant, or a hotel, a touchscreen POS system will save both your and your customer’s time and help you streamline your business from end to end with the touch of a few buttons.
