A software solution that retailers use to manage customer interactions in stores, including customer service and checkout.
An omnichannel POS ensures the store is part of a unified customer experience across a retailer's sales channels. It provides visibility into available inventory across channels, provides for checkout of mixed carts, including items for pickup or shipping, and enables associates to provide service for orders made outside of the store, such as a return or exchange for an online purchase.
The role of retail store associate is evolving as the store's purpose evolves. It is becoming more complex as stores transform into omnichannel selling and service hubs and experiential showrooms.
Today, a store associate's responsibilities may extend beyond traditional ones like checkout or inventory management. Store associates are becoming sales consultants, brand ambassadors, and omnichannel guides, helping customers navigate their buying journey with product and customer service expertise.
Because today's shoppers have higher expectations.
Stores are no longer just places to complete buying transactions. Customers now expect to have flexible control of the buying journey—deciding when, where, and how to purchase and return—and expect to be appreciated the moment they walk into the store. Stores need solutions to support anything a customer's purpose is for visiting a store with a personalized experience that elevates the retail brand.
The advantages of cloud-based POS over traditional, on-premises systems include accessibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Automatic updates, advanced security, data backup and recovery, and easy integration with other systems make a cloud-based POS more robust, resilient, and adaptable than traditional systems.
