A new year is as good a moment as any to start looking for something better. As a business owner you have probably already reviewed how last year's plan went. The next thing worth considering is replacing the POS that runs your sales — because it is the technology that can decide how well your business does.
A well-designed POS system can help your business turn a profit. Run one that is not up to the job and it can steer you into all sorts of trouble. So if this year's intention is to get a decent POS system, or upgrade the one you have, here are five signs quietly telling you the time has come for a new terminal.
1. You keep running into problems with the old terminal
A confusing system that is hard to use can drag down how well you work, whether that is because it is hard to follow or because the features simply are not there. See whether any of this sounds familiar:
– the screen is confusing and hard to use
– it does not have the features you need
– nobody shows you how to use the system
With Qashier POS, problems like these recede: the features are designed to work, training is provided by people who use the system, and there is a Help Centre to read — all of which keeps your use of Qashier POS running smoothly.
2. Your old POS cannot take new features
You may be another shop that has found the old POS cannot have features added to it: nothing new arrives, the system is not being developed, and it cannot be upgraded when you want to grow the business.
Two businesses of the same type still have different needs. Your restaurant may want extra features such as a food delivery connection or QR ordering. Your salon may need an appointment scheduling feature. Even a retail shop needs a way of checking inventory. The Qashier POS system will certainly meet what your shop needs.
Whether you are a small business or want a POS for franchise businesses, the system supports it. Importantly, Qashier POS is updated and gains new features regularly, so you can be confident our shop management system will keep meeting what you need.
3. The old terminal will not connect to anything else
A POS system with limited connectivity makes the work harder than it needs to be. It is plainly better when a POS can connect to other systems — accounting, e-commerce or food delivery.
Connecting to other systems makes running the business more convenient and lets you extend your market to a wider customer base. Qashier's POS system connects to Xero for accounting, to e-commerce platforms such as Shopify, and to the food delivery systems
of GrabFood and foodpanda. Bringing all of it together on a single Qashier terminal cuts down the number of devices in use, saves counter space, and makes the work far easier.
4. The team is hard to reach
When something goes wrong, a good support team means you can relax about using the system — and problems fixed quickly keep the business running without a stumble.
Choose Qashier as your POS and you get support from our team seven days a week, within business hours, so the business keeps moving smoothly.
5. Your old POS only takes cash
If your shop only takes cash you may be at a competitive disadvantage, because more than one in three SMEs and shops now accept payment through several channels — which makes it an important part of running a business today.
Qashier POS takes QR code payments, and it can also be connected to an EDC terminal to take credit cards, so your business and your customers can transact smoothly and efficiently.
