Using your POS system as a marketing tool is a great idea, but unless you have the right inventory, customers will probably not demonstrate as much loyalty to your store as you would like. Lack of control over inventory can also have a negative effect on a retailer’s bottom line.  In short, accurate inventory control is critical to your store’s profitability and overall success—and it, too, can be achieved by availing yourself of a comprehensive POS software package.

With the inventory tracking capabilities of systems like pcAmerica’s Cash Register Express, you can easily see which products are selling and which items should be re-ordered, as well as identify any merchandise that just doesn’t seem to appeal to your customers. The end-result: Your store offers the right merchandise, in the right quantities, at the right time—a wise practice overall and a particularly necessary one when retailers must strive harder than ever to maintain their share of customers’ shrinking dollar.

The inventory tracking capabilities of any good POS system also enhance your profit potential by identifying any items that may have been pilfered or broken.  Meanwhile, an integrated purchasing functionality can be used to track vendor lists, manage item costs and generate and receive purchase orders. With Cash Register Express, you can also increase inventory management efficiencies by conducting inventory counts and/or recording the arrival of merchandise at your store using integrated Pocket Inventory software on a hand-held computer.
