Learn from the experiences of others to avoid these common mistakes:
Picking the wrong POS System
Choosing a POS system is one of the most important decisions both new and experienced business owners will make. A significant investment, it is a choice you want to get right the first time. The brain of the business, the right POS system will streamline your operations, provide a clear overview of your business financials, and help you reach your growth targets. The wrong POS system may be too difficult for staff to learn, may not be compatible with existing equipment, or may not be able to scale up as the business grows. Bottom line, the wrong POS system will cost you money. Not all POS systems are the same, so working with a trusted vendor to ensure the POS system will meet all of your current and projected needs is highly recommended.
POS System Installed Incorrectly
Its an exciting moment when your POS system is installed and ready to go! This excitement is often dampened by unexpected, but common problems. Incorrect installations may result in Wi-Fi connection issues, software and hardware incompatibility, malfunctioning or improperly installed cables, software bugs. It is crucial that the POS system is installed correctly, and it is recommended that an expert assist in, or completes the installation.
Inadequate Support
Even if you have chosen the right POS system for your business, and have had it professionally installed, problems are bound to occur. It is important to be prepared. Not only should training be provided to all staff using the system, but a plan should be in place if the issue can not be resolved internally. POS system down-time is lost income and partnering with the right supplier who provides sufficient support will ensure that down-time is minimal.
