6.)Why purchase a POS system?

A POS system pays for itself many times over. Real cash comes from accurate merchandise management such as, improved margins, increased sales, tracking inventory. Real losses are cut from operational improvements. You will see these tangible improvements within a few months of automating. Many retailers see the benefits of their system by adding 8-15% to their bottom line. Another reason would be time. Instead of handwriting purchase orders, analyzing a register tape or re-entering sales into a spread sheet, retailers can let their POS system do the work.

Retail Technologies can make this easy for you if your suppliers can help.  Most larger vendors can provide your catalogs on diskette.  We can use these diskettes with the UPC's, descriptions and costs to build your database for you.  This means all your items will be in your database ready to scan when your system is installed.
