The benefits of using an iPad POS system in place of a traditional point of sales system include:
Customer record management
Many EPOS system and software have customer record management capabilities that can tie purchases to individual customers. Therefore, you’ll have records on who your best customers are and what they buy in the palm of your hand. If you have permission to send your customer emails, you can then use the data stored on your EPOS to send targeted promotions and marketing materials, either on
a small or large scale.
Many EPOS systems sync with other industry software like MailChimp, which automates email marketing and makes the whole process faster and more accurate.
Streamlined service
The average UK customer will only queue for six minutes, so you don’t have long to make a good impression. An iPad POS system allows you to take multiple payments at once with seamlessly fast service, reducing wait times and keeping customers happy. What’s more, with a handheld POS, there’s no need for staff to pop to the kitchen to check the availability of a menu item or leave the shop floor to go to the stock room. Staff can answer customer questions quickly and efficiently on the move, freeing them up to deal with several enquiries at once.
Scalability
Your business needs to grow, and thankfully iPad POS solutions are the perfect companions to help you boost your sales. As your operation expands, you may need more EPOS systems so your staff can meet the needs of your customers. Luckily, iPad POS systems are lightweight and affordable, and they contain all the tools you need to expand your business.
Affordability
Lastly, one of the main reasons companies go out of business in the UK is down to poor cash flow management. Therefore, any avenue that saves your business money should be explored. An iPad POS system is 33% cheaper than a traditional point of sales system, but it offers all the functionality of a touch screen terminal, just at a fraction of the price. The affordability of the system allows for a quicker return on your investment, fuelling further growth.
Choosing an EPOS solution for your business
Choosing from the raft of solutions on the EPOS market can be tricky. However, finding the right technology is essential to supporting your business growth.
iPad POS systems will provide all the insight and ease of use of a traditional POS system, with the ability to scale your business flexibly.
