Point of Sale Automation for Retail Businesses

Streamline your retail business with sophisticated point-of-sale automation.

The Key Elements of Point of
Sale Automation Systems

There are several functions and features in your POS system that could potentially be automated. The primary function of POS automation is to streamline operations by making the system itself responsible for certain basic or repetitive functions that may otherwise be managed by a member of your team. To make automation work for you, we will:

  • Assess the current state of your system and establish criteria for automation

  • Link Access2Payโ€™s automation capabilities to your broader business goals
  • Determine which of your business functions should be automated
  • Implement automated functions

  • Assess how well the automated functions are working for your business and its goals.

When you automate your POS system, you can enjoy the following benefits:

  • Fast Access to Information: You can use automated search systems to locate information you urgently need for a customer or to manage your inventory, for example. Automation places data at your fingertips.

  • Better Customer Service and Upselling: You can track customer behavior and purchase histories, and use the systemโ€™s features to make recommendations or even automate marketing campaigns through social media or email, for example. Automation helps you connect with your customers and provide better service to them.
  • Extract Whatever Data You Need: Draw automated reports based on a range of criteria and variables whenever you need them, wherever you are. You can even set an automated report request that instructs the system to send a sales report to you via email every day at the close of business.
  • Streamlined Operation: You can connect to your suppliers rapidly to minimize the amount of time you have to wait for stock replenishment. You can even create automatic replacement orders so your system either gives you an alert or automatically sends an order for new stock. Automation makes it easier to run essential functions in your business – especially repetitive tasks that need not take up your staff membersโ€™ time and energy.
  • Manage Your Staff: You can automate your software to clock employees in and out and track their sales and other performance indicators.

FAQs

Automated Point of Sale Systems

What is POS automation?

POS automation is a part of POS system design that involves the automation of specific features, reducing the need for staff members to carry out these functions actively. It is a time-saving feature that boosts efficiency and enables staff members to focus their energies on those aspects of the business that require more time, attention, and talent.

The exact features you choose to automate will depend on your business and its goals. Maybe you would like to receive reports via email at a certain time of the day, week, month, or year. Perhaps you would like to boost your marketing efforts by creating automated, personalized emails to certain key customers. These are just a few examples of the kinds of functions that can be successfully automated.
