what is epos software?

What is the Difference Between POS and EPOS Systems?

 

 

 

What is a POS and an EPOS System?

 

POS means ‘Point of Sale’ and it is where an exchange for goods or services is made. Essentially, the POS is a cash register that we see whenever we’re out shopping.

 

EPOS softwares and systems are the electronic format of the traditional POS software and systems and mostly operate online, where they store information securely in a cloud.

 

 

Heightened Security

 

An EPOS system tends to have much-improved security protocols over and above the traditional counterpart.

 

The requirement for much-improved security was, of course, essential, since EPOS systems are web-based, which means that EPOS systems are safe to use with little risk that they will be hacked or compromised. Cloud-based security is more for preventing the risk of losing data, e.g. a server failing and then losing the month of sales figures, rather than a hack. This is, of course, a possibility but it is more for the benefit of saving data rather than somebody stealing it.

 

 

Flexible Payment Options

 

How we exchange money is a continually changing phenomenon and because of this, it’s imperative that hospitality providers and other businesses are capable of accepting different payment methods that are currently in existence.

 

From online payments to the traditional credit card payment, through to the modern contactless payments, consumers have many different preferences in which to pay for goods and services.

 

The traditional POS system generally can only accept cash payments and payments made by debit and credit cards. For any business that still uses a POS system, it’s likely not doing them any favours, because they prevent some customers from buying products or using services because they are unable to pay.

 

There is no way for older-style POS systems to accept online or contactless, so as such, they are now considered outdated.

Hardware Flexibility

 

Pos in a box, pos and epos systems

 

In bygone times, POS systems would only work with the hardware that was supplied with it. Typically, that would have been a stationary terminal, cash drawer, as well as a credit and debit card reader.

 

In terms of hardware, EPOS systems are a lot more flexible and many EPOS systems are compatible with iPads and various other mobile devices, which are now commonly used in restaurants, cafes and hotels.

 

Along with this flexibility comes the elimination of costly and bulky hardware that POS systems relied upon. Again, this reduces upfront costs as well as maintenance costs significantly.

 

With software that is cloud-based, as long as there’s a web connection, it’s now possible to gain access to your system anywhere in the venue.

 

What’s more is that many of today’s EPOS systems come with offline functionality, so you don’t have to heavily rely on an online connection. This means that if the internet goes down, your entire network does not go down with it. If that has happened to you before, you’ll know how frustrating it can be. Not just for you, but for your customers as well.

Management of Inventory

 

Because it’s possible to gain real-time access to your inventory from your EPOS system, it’s a far more flexible system of inventory management than what was available with old POS systems. Here at TISSL we currently manage your inventory through integration on a 3rd party system.

 

You can track your inventory from your EPOS terminal, which means that if your stock is running low, you’ll receive notifications. In turn, you’ll never be short of your best sellers, but at the same time, you’ll never be overstocked either. On TISSL’s systems, you can do this on the back office, not on the front of house pos terminal’

 

With the traditional POS system, inventory management errors would sometimes lead to shelves being laden with dead stock. All too often, that dead stock would then have to be ‘shelved’, which would cost time and money.

 

 

Analytics Tools

 

Still, running an older POS system? Do you get sales trends information from it? Charted sales figures?

 

For EPOS systems, these stats come as standard and they offer a lot more functionality too. You get a host of analytics tools with modern-day EPOS systems allowing you to accurately asses how business performance is doing.

 

With our EPOS systems, you can view expenses when inputting the product, you can state the cost price of products and GP and it will calculate your wholesale price.

 

This is a very attractive level of insight to have and it’s something that will serve you and your business well as there will no longer be any guesswork involved.

 

 

Better Support

 

EPOS system vendors provide customer support on a 24/7 basis, which few POS system vendors would offer.

 

Because of this customer service availability, if you’re running an EPOS system, any issues you encounter will be addressed rapidly.

 

But as it is with any expensive software, it’s likely you wouldn’t want to make the investment unless you had dedicated support. That said, if you are looking to invest in an EPOS system, check with the supplying company to make sure they offer a high level of technical and maintenance support.

 

 

Conclusion

 

With EPOS systems you get much more flexibility and data, there’s greater security and the added benefit of more mobility over and above the traditional POS systems.

 

Modern EPOS systems don’t rely on bulky hardware and the software is relatively easy to implement and user-friendly.

 

When you choose to invest in an EPOS system you’ll get far more out of your POS. Rather than merely being a cash register, you now can rely on an all-in-one marketing, management and analytics tool.

Electronic Point of Sale benefits breakdown

EPOS systems will probably pay for themselves within 18 months if you have a high turnover business, the ROI (return on investment) will be longer for businesses with medium revenues however it will still deliver considerable business benefits and provide many of the essential tools and information to make informed business decisions and grow your business.

 

For small operations a cash register will probably meet your needs for considerably less money. Many businesses however decide to invest in an EPOS system uk from the outset, often because they have reaped the benefits before, or because they want to lay a foundation on which they can build upon.

 

In the long term a good EPOS system can save you money, increase productivity and save you time that can be spent driving your business forward. No matter how small a business is, an EPOS system is rarely unnecessary as it will bring in business benefits, these may be simply better reports, faster transaction times or better stock management.

 

However, your EPOS system won’t run all by itself, so the big question is how soon you can make it pay for itself. Here’s a few of the benefits a EPOS can bring and how it can help you.

 


 

Save time and money

 

Increase transaction speed and quality of service

 

    Faster transactions can be achieved by using a touch screen EPOS terminals like the Uniwell AX3000, DX915 or HX4500 which are faster to operate, in retail adding a barcode scanner will make the checkout faster too.

    Easy to use touch screen EPOS allow products to be found quicker, operators can be lead through a transaction and training times are often reduced.

    Quick stock searches and level checks prevent customers from waiting around.

    Hand held order solutions like Uniwell Phoenix can be used in restaurant and quick service operations to boost productivity and up-sell extra items. “Fancy a glass of port with that cheese?”

    Accurate billing - If an item is ordered it’s in the POS system so you won’t miss that bottle of wine or cup of coffee off the bill again.

    More efficient transactions - customers will get served quicker and kitchens will have more time to prepare orders

    Manage Promotions - Products like Uniwell AX3000 & HX4000 have an in-built promotion manager so you can create meal deal, and multi-buy promotions to match your marketing campaigns.    

 

Improve business efficiency and productivity

 

    Take control - Back of house tools like EPOS Office and EPOS Sales will put you firmly in control of your POS terminals, allowing quick and timely changes to products, retail prices and menu’s.

    Retailers can run targeted promotions such as happy hours, multi-buys or mix ‘n’ match offers like buy two get one for free, and maintain different price files for different outlets, days of the week, times of the day or special events.

    Faster order processing for restaurants and quick service operations are quickly achieved and more accurate by introducing kitchen order printers or kitchen display systems.

    Better staff productivity - Orders are automatically relayed to a kitchen or warehouse directly from the POS terminal or wireless order pad, leaving staff with more time to interact with customers.

    Reduced Paperwork - Use your POS system to reduce paperwork and save time doing stock takes or reporting.

 

Reduce fraud and shrinkage

 

    Shrinkage is the general term applied to the inventory that goes missing from your store or is unaccounted for in your restaurant. It may be simply unreported wastage or theft, and employee misuse or sweet-hearting where a member of staff provides free drinks to friends.

    Staff ID buttons (Dallas key or i-button) help reduce shrinkage, by using these on your POS system you record all transactions operators, allowing you to report on individual staff members.

    Visibility - Make staff aware that stock levels are being carefully monitored by the POS system and stick up performance charts in the staff room, shrinkage will miraculously dwindle.

    Line checks – quick and random line checks are often more effective than regular stuck takes.

    CCTV integration allows transaction data to be overlaid on top of CCTV footage to obtain a clear picture of what’s happening at the point of sale.

    Search CCTV footage by transaction events such as corrections, voids, no-sales or abnormal sales values. Many systems now allow you remote access to the CCTV.  

 

Better cash control

 

    Know your position At any time during the day, a POS system can instantly report on how much money you should have in your cash drawer or how many of a particular product you have sold today.

    Manager only functions for voids or refunds prevent staff misuse

    End of day cash declarations on your POS system can force staff to declare cash counts before they know what should be in the cash drawer, making variances easier to trace.

    Cash Lifts – Set warning levels to alert you when to make a cash lift

 

Improve stock management

 

    Minimize stock variances with regular weekly and monthly stock checks

    Reduce working capital and interest by optimizing stock holding

    Stock Alerts - Automatic stock re-ordering triggers can compile and suggest orders when stocks are running low.

    Stock analysis - Detailed reports make it much easier to keep the right stock on hand. Many owners who think they know exactly what trends affect them find a few surprises once they have this data from their EPOS system.

    Identify slow stock items, spot sales trends, and use historical data to better forecast your needs.

 

Build intelligence to grow profits   

 

    Fast and accurate reports from your POS system to support business decisions and drive business forwards.

    Get reports anywhere anytime and stay in touch with fast moving retail operations with reports via the internet or have them automatically emailed to your desktop or PDA.

    Better margins - Detailed sales mix reports help you focus on higher-margin items. Re-locating products within a retail store or promoting under-performing dishes in a restaurant can help you boost sales of high-profit items.

    Monitor promotions and discounts to make sure you’re not just giving profits away.

    Manage staff hours to maximize profits. Rota’s, clock in/out and labour schedules help control one of your key costs.

    Compare performance against other stores, days, weeks months and years to build a picture on how your business is performing.

 

Improve customer loyalty and retention

 

    Build a list of your customers - collect their contact details and get to know them better.

    Targeted advertising – offer incentives to your customers so they return on a regular basis. Consider adding discount cards to your POS system or loyalty cards, gift cards and vouchers.

    CRM – Customer relationship management tools can be used to communicate with your customers allowing letter, SMS texts and emails to be sent out.

    Point of purchase advertising can be used to draw attention to items you wish to promote or special upcoming events you may even be able to generate revenue from 3rd party advertising.

 

It’s important to remember that to realize many of the benefits of an EPOS system requires dedication, commitment and you need to understand the information being generated, it won’t do all the work by itself. Without suitable training or ongoing analysis, even the most sophisticated EPOS system will be no more useful than a basic cash register.
