Advantages of Integrating EPOS with Sage

• Manual Data Entry is no Longer required– When you integrate the Sage software with POS, the POS system gets fully integrated with the back-office business processes. This enables you to access all the information related to sales, customers, and stock from a central database. Thus, this integration eliminates the need to enter data manually, which is an error-prone and time-consuming process

• Provides Real Time Access to Critical Data– One of the most significant benefits of integrating Sage software with POS is that you get real-time access to your critical business data. Your sales team can now be provided with the access to the most up-to-date customer information as well as their purchase histories. This enables them to make informed decisions, find smarter recommendations, and effectively close the deal. Similarly, your finance and accounting teams can access the most recent sales data from the back office and gain valuable business insights.

• Provides Enhanced Customer Experience– Your customers will have a consistent, integrated, and enjoyable shopping experience as a result of the seamless integration of your back-office and in-store systems. For example, after integrating Sage software with POS, your customer would have a consistent experience across both online and physical stores. They would be able to purchase items online and pick them up /return them from/to the brick-and-mortar store

• Enhances Inventory Control– When you integrate Sage with POS, your in-store and back-end systems are seamlessly integrated. As a result, you can gain better control and visibility over your inventory. Each sale causes automated and efficient systems to remove relevant stock items from the retailer’s inventory and initiate other activities such as reordering. The stock also becomes more visible in the back office and the store. Back-office inventory control, for example, can alert sales representatives when an item becomes available in another store, allowing them to maximize the opportunity. With this real-time data, they can make timely and critical decisions about discounting certain slow-moving goods. They can also be notified of possible issues in advance, such as when a product runs out of stock.

• Improves Customer Relationships– When you integrate Sage software with POS, you can get an inclusive display of your customer data that can be accessed by each and every department of your business—both on the back end and in the store. With all this information at their fingertips, your sales team can cultivate more personalized relationships with your customers.

• Easy & Efficient Reporting Features– The EPOS system facilitates effective reporting capabilities on its own. You can get even more reporting options if you integrate it with the Sage accounting software. This assists accountants and finance managers in making informed and timely business decisions. Furthermore, in this integrated system, your customer’s historical data is seamlessly shared between the Sage software and the POS. As a result, they can design deals and promotions to meet the specific needs of a customer. Customers’ purchasing habits can be used to create targeted advertisements and improve customer relationships.
