What does an EPOS system do?

An EPOS (Electronic Point Of Sale) system is used for the accurate taking and recording of payment for goods and services in a shop or any other business that serves customers.

EPOS reads the barcodes on products and makes the appropriate charge. Every time you sell something, it adjusts your stock and can be used to raise orders to replace actual sold stock. This helps reduce out of stocks and stock holding at the same time.

A key feature of Epos systems are that they can help news retailers to manage their Home News Delivery by managing delivery Rounds, Customer Accounts, Delivery Charges, Production of Round sheets, Rounds Billing and Easy Control of Price Changes so that you charge your customers the correct price.

Reduced stock holding helps the cash flow in your business. Once you have input the cost and selling prices into your system, it can work out your profit margin and can also control your VAT and ledgers.

Thanks to the links Connect2U has with three of the major EPOS providers, Smiths News customers can download their delivery note electronically from Connect2U direct to their EPOS system, eliminating the need to manually scan in titles, and saving around 30 minutes per day.

Will an EPOS system help increase my sales?

An EPOS system should increase your bottom line by giving you better control of stock and profit margins. Scanning products through the system cuts out losses suffered by retailers though inaccurate till operation.
