What are the benefits of a point of sale system in a liquor store?

Many people out there are still using a plain old cash register which they believe are meeting there needs. But by switching to a computerized system like we offer, it definitely expands your business, increases your profit, and decreases the time you spend in maintaining that while increasing the control you have over your store and inventory.

Customer Retention - You have to ask yourself this question: How will I be able to retain my customers and not make them transfer to another liquor store? Being able to do price specials on the fly and letting your customers know that you provide a good bargain. It has the ability to print barcodes to the receipt. It can assure customers that they come back at your store to get a 5% discount on their next purchase. Adding them into your customer database and letting them accumulate points to spend as a reward on other items. These are all things that our systems can do to help you retain your customers.

Inventory Control - make better use of your capital by being aware of what is really going on with your inventory. Advanced inventory reporting can tell you what's not selling, offering you a chance to blow it out to replace it with something that does sell quicker. Best seller reports can tell you exactly what your most popular items are. Profitability reports let you know the most profitable item in your store. Automatic Purchase ordering save your time by not having to "fill the gaps", being able to speculate when a product will run out is better than wait for it to ran out or have it reordered.

Integration to Liquor Connect - We connect to liquor connect giving you the ability to make a purchase order right from your point of sale system, sending it right there and then from your point of sale to liquor connect and getting a reply back all digitally. When you receive the order you can match it up with what you have on file and then press receive and all your numbers will automatically update saving you time, money, and it lessens potential human error.

Scanning: When you are using a cash register, there are chances that the scanner does not scan the barcodes on the products. Just by the addition of a pos system and a scanner your bottom line increases by 2.5%. Human error is the leading cause of this. A cashier will read the sticker price of 27.50 and presses 17.50 in the till by accident meaning your out 10$ just on that one item. If you process 500 transactions a day how many times do you think an error will be made without realizing it, and most of the time the only way the customer will remind you of the error is if he/she was charged of too much or not too less.
