Three common mistakes made when buying EPOS
Buy
hardware first and then ‘just’ look for the software to go with it.
Problem
with this approach is that some software requires specific hardware. Even though
it may work, much better to stick with one set of equipment from one supplier
which has all been properly tested and used on other
sites.
Develop
a website before buying EPOS
The very
latest EPOS systems can now integrate your stock in your shop to the stock on
your website. There are huge benefits to doing this and it is usually a lot
cheaper as well. Many retailers waste thousands on websites that are not
integrated with their other in-store systems.
Cheapest
hardware and software
Some
retailers only look for the cheapest hardware and software on the market. So
they purchase unreliable hardware and software that puts their business at risk.
Quality technology costs money and you’ll get what you pay for. Buy with the
next two or three years in mind and buy the best technology you can afford.
Expect to spend 1-2% of your annual revenue on technology. Buying the right
system will easily pay this back.
