You may have heard the industry buzz about cloud-based POS systems. Well what exactly is it?
Unlike traditional POS systems which are typically on-site, countertop systems, cloud POS systems are web-based, thus allowing you to process payments through the internet.
Cloud-based POS systems can significantly improve business operations, save time and help increase revenue. Let’s dive into the benefits of cloud-based POS systems.
- Automatic and quick updates. Cloud POS software only needs to be updated on only one computer or device making the process easy and painless.
- Single database in the cloud. If you manage more than one establishment cloud-based POS will allow you to centralize your data across all locations.
- Access from anywhere. Away from your business? As long as you have internet access you can still keep an eye on your current operations.
- Increased security. The data is stored safely in the cloud and not on a device that could be easily hacked or stolen.
- Decreased Downtime Issues. With traditional POS if something goes down you must wait for IT to fix the issue. With cloud-based POS if something goes down (such as the internet) you can keep your business running with your mobile hotspot.
- Mobile Advantages. The traditional POS limits you to only using POS terminals in a fixed location such as a counter. A Cloud POS system allows you to process transactions from any desktop or mobile device.
- Improve inventory management. Since everything is stored on the internet it is updated in real-time. This could also significantly help with businesses that list their current inventory online and increase customer traffic.
Whether you operate a small business, or you manage multiple franchises, cloud-based technology will provide you with the mobility, efficiency and security that you need. Central Retail Solutions is proud to offer a top-of-the-line Cloud POS System, Heartland Restaurant.
