Beat The Summer Heat – 5 Ways Your POS System Helps Keep Your Business Cool

Imagine a scenario where the weather is only getting warmer, your shop is packed with customers shopping plus staff managing sales, returns and restocks, and your AC is struggling to cool everyone down. The truth is – this is the reality for most retailers in Malta and is the perfect set up for tension, errors and poor customer service.

But it doesn’t need to be this way.

Here is how XtraPOS Cloud can help you beat this year’s summer heat:

1. Benefit from the Mobile App

No matter where you are, you can help your in store staff with stock counts and transfers using the XtraPOS Cloud mobile app, now available for Android devices. Having a mobile app available means staff don’t need to be directly at the till when managing stock, providing greater flexibility and control and leaving the till available for sales staff. 

2. Manage your seasonal inventory

 With customers now searching for sunglasses, swimwear, fans and SPF products, it is important to ensure your stock levels are up to date in order to avoid stockouts or overstocking. XtraPOS Cloud provides you with extensive control over your inventory via advanced purchasing management and streamlining of orders, suppliers and deliveries, meaning you will always be stocked and ready to sell.

3. Create Independent Staff Quickly

Need seasonal staff to help keep things moving? XtraPOS Cloud has an intuitive and easy to use interface, featuring various dashboards with straightforward reports and data. This means new staff require minimal training and can perform independently within a short period of time. Furthermore, clients can access training videos via our website for further guidance (hyperlink), ensuring constant support.

4. Expand Without Extra Stress

Opening up a pop up spot or kiosk? XtraPOS Cloud allows you to manage multiple stores from one platform, displaying sales, inventory and staff data for all your outlets. Avoid extra hardware, separate systems and benefit from seamless cloud synchronisation.

5. See What Sells Best When The Heat Is Out

Ever wonder what customers are seeking when temperatures are insufferable? With XtraPOS Cloud’s live reporting capabilities, you can view hourly, daily and even monthly insights into your sales trends, inventory and staff performances. This allows you to create enticing promotions, schedule restocks and allocate certain staff when demand peaks.
