Areas to Emphasis on

Technology

• Technology is the backbone of every business
  today and can be referred as every retailers
  favourite employee The one that comes in early,
  stays back late, participates in every
  organisational event, maintains the office
  decorum and contributes toward the companys
  growth.
• Technology is that efficient employee who makes
  sure your inventory is correct, sales are
  accurately recorded every day, and receipts are
  tallied at the end of each day. It streamlines
  inventory and store management, while allowing
  the store manager to solely focus on their
  customers and competitors.

The retail industry

• The retail industry is one of those industry that
  constantly strives hard to stick to its margins.
  To generate high revenue, retailers are always on
  the lookout for strategies that help to lure more
  customers while keeping their costs in check.
• Now that we are at it, lets familiarise
  ourselves with some other areas where you can
  integrate technology to improve efficiency,
  productivity and revenue.

POS and Payments

• You visit a store with the intention of shopping
  and come out without any purchase. The reason
  being, the sales professional at the counter was
  taking more time than usual, which made you
  impatient, persuading you to leave.
• This situation is very common in retail stores
  that dont have Point-of-Sale Systems installed
  at the checkout. Since the staff must record
  every sale manually, it takes time to process
  each order. Consequently, long lines may form,
  causing frustration among customers which makes
  them less likely to visit the store again.
• Leveraging POS technology can help prevent such
  situations and address many inventory management
  issues that directly contribute to customer
  experience.

Inventory Management

• Inventory management, both in-store as well as in
  the warehouse, has always been an area of
  attention for retailers. Merchandise must be
  added to inventory, then tracked on transition,
  lastly removed from inventory when being sold.
• Having real-time inventory information is
  necessary for retailers to identify the items
  that are running out of stock and know when its
  time to plan purchase of new products to fill up
  the empty shelves .
• A POS system integrated with a robust inventory
  management tool can help manage inventory to a
  great extent and create a better shopping
  experience for customers.

6
Price Auditing

• Price auditing is considered one of the most
  time-consuming tasks for retailers. After all,
  verifying price labels on thousands of products
  with prices charged to the customers is not a
  breeze. Using a hand-held scanner and a wireless
  device like a tablet or a notebook which is
  connected to POS terminals in the store, the
  store associate can check the price labels
  quickly with less effort.
• If there are any differences spotted between the
  POS prices, shelf prices or inventory prices,
  corrective measures can be taken immediately.
