A robust POS system enhances customer service with quick and seamless checkouts, streamlines store operations by simplifying ordering and inventory management, and drives business growth by collecting vital sales and customer data, providing actionable insights into product performance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, transitioning to a POS system can be challenging for businesses with a legacy of success using traditional methods like hand-written orders, receipts, and accounting. Despite the digital shift in retail, many small businesses still operate manually. Those who have adopted POS systems often wonder how they managed without them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

Tri-County Hardware and Farm Supply<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Dennis Gamble readily admits he is not very tech-savvy. So, when he went looking for a point-of-sale system for Tri-County Hardware and Farm Supply, he wanted something that was easy to operate, intuitive, and would help him in every aspect of his store. He was also looking for friendly, responsive support. After extensive research, he chose Paladin Data Corporation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For the first decade, Dennis and his wife Mary Alice ran the store with a cash register and paper records. Dennis called it “working out of the shoebox.” When they made the shift to modern technology it felt like starting anew. Using suppliers Orgill and Florida Hardware, and leveraging Paladin\u2019s EDI connections, Dennis optimized inventory and boosted revenue.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dennis also purchased all his hardware from Paladin to have a single point of contact for support. The typical POS system includes:\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dennis uses his barcode scanners, Paladin\u2019s Market Driven Inventory Management, and his experience with his customers to place orders and control his inventory. The success of his new system is evident in how much his fasteners section has grown. When he bought the business, it was about 4 feet long. It\u2019s now over 31 feet of aisle space and draws a lot of business.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What a POS can do for your business<\/span><\/h3>\n

Properly utilizing a point-of-sale system can elevate the performance of a business for both staff and customers.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Increases efficiency and accuracy.<\/b><\/span> Ordering, inventory management, and price changes are three of the most time-consuming aspects of running a retail store. Point-of-sale systems and their tools can make those chores easier and less time-consuming, which frees staff to focus on customer service. These tools range from RF units, used to scan inventory, to mobile devices that can help locate items, complete sales away from the checkout counter, and make deliveries.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Improves customer service. <\/b><\/span>Employees needing less time to compile orders, locate items, and change prices can focus more on helping customers. POS systems provide fast, efficient and accurate customer checkout. They also collect customer sales information which allows stores to provide personalized rewards and offers, which further enhances customer service.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Provides data stores can use to run better.\u00a0<\/b><\/span> Only the biggest data geeks like to talk about reports, but getting actionable information about how a store is performing is invaluable. It can tell you when your store is optimally stocked, what\u2019s selling and what isn\u2019t, and helps you stay current with shopping trends. The PaladinNsight\u2122 dashboard puts that information on display, giving you a real-time look at your store\u2019s performance without printing reports.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Helps manage all aspects of business. <\/b><\/span>Facilitating sales, ordering and inventory management are the wheelhouse of all point-of-sale systems.

Not all systems are the same – Do some research<\/span><\/h3>\n

The bottom line in choosing any POS system is asking yourself does this system help my store run better and give me a better chance to succeed.<\/span> Even for stores already operating with a point-of-sale system, finding the system that works best for them can save them time and money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeremy and Denise Page of Lands End Marine Supply in Provincetown, Massachusetts, were operating with a POS that was didn’t fit their needs. They switched to Paladin for its fit and cost-effectiveness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe paid for a lot of stuff we didn\u2019t use. There was little tech support, and you had to pay to escalate (requests for help),\u201d Jeremy explains. \u201cWe checked around and Paladin just seemed to be the best fit for doing what we need without paying for all this other stuff.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were a little nervous. When you switch to something that is less expensive, you think it\u2019s great, but it might seem almost too good to be true,\u201d Denise adds. \u201cPaladin\u2019s been great. We\u2019ve saved a ton of money, it works great, and the customer support is by far the best that I\u2019ve ever had. It\u2019s been consistently good. We\u2019ve been very impressed.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
