When we walk through neighborhood stores, sometimes we notice that some stores keep their old machines. This in itself does not seem to have anything wrong. If it still works, it is logical that the employer does not want to make a financial outlay to install a POS system (Point of Sale) not yet known.
However, a cash register may pose some drawbacks to the SME or small business. These disadvantages translate into lack of competitiveness and mechanical tasks that, although we do not realize, are an opportunity cost. Why we should replace the old cash registers for POS? In this article we give you some reasons.
Reasons to change a cash register for a POS
There are many reasons to modernize and replace our old machine by a POS terminal. We are going to give you six main advantages for which it is recommended to go to a POS.
1. THE REGISTRATION IN THE INVENTORY IS AUTOMATIC
The first motive that comes to mind has to do with the economy of time. Every time we make a transaction at our store, with the TPV is recorded in the inventory . We do not have to spend hours and hours doing the accounting, transferring information to accounting receipts, because with a good management software TPV is done automatically. Think about the amount of time you've wasted doing this.
2. IT IS EASIER TO FIND THE DATA
When searching for a missing data , for example, with a cash register would take hours to find information. However, with TPV systems we can find it instantly. We can have relevant information, such as how much has been sold each day, statistics of each employee's sales, etc.
3. THERE IS LESS RISK OF HUMAN FAILURE
Then there is the issue of organization. In a POS you have registered all the products you have. Simply press a few buttons on the touch screen for the transaction to take place. At the cash register, you have to mark up the price of each purchase, so the risk of human error is much greater.
4. THE SALES CYCLE IS SHORTER
The queues are reduced and the collections are made much faster. That improves your image as a company; Customers become desperate when they have to wait a long time. Think about the speed with which they charge you in the McDonalds queue. Spend hundreds or even thousands of people a day. Can you imagine what it would be like to do it with a cash machine?
5. YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE THE TICKET
The information that appears on a cash register, even if it is the most modern, is very small compared to the possibilities offered by a good terminal.
6. MAINTENANCE IS NOT SO EXPENSIVE
A cash register machine is a complex machine and requires a specialized technician if it needs to be repaired. A POS is a computer with appropriate software and some peripheral, there are far fewer incidents and is easier and convenient to use.
In short, you save jobs and make life more comfortable to your customers, just ahead of something that will happen in the next few years and is already happening; the disappearance of the cash registers .
Do you agree that this fact is already occurring? How do you manage the transactions in your business?
