How will EPOS benefit my business?

 

Businesses are increasingly using technology to streamline their business operations and improve the customer experience. Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS) technology is affording small businesses across the globe the tools they need to compete against the corporate competition that dominates our high streets. We’ve come a long way from the clunky, glorified calculators of the past. Today’s EPOS has the potential to revolutionise the way your business runs, offering plenty more benefits than simply somewhere to stash the cash!

 

 

Insight

One of the key benefits of EPOS is its capacity to measure and manage business activity in a way that allows you to make insight-driven changes. By building up a clear and accurate view of your business performance, you can set about improving it.

Visibility: There are hundreds of reports available that can be tailored to measure a vast array of information from margins, inventory and sales.

Spot trends: These analytic reports will allow you to spot trends hourly, monthly or seasonally. This will allow you to dedicate the resource you need when you need them, such as having more staff on shift between 6pm and 8pm, or knowing you need to stock extra sun cream in June.

Know what your customers want: Knowing your most popular stock items allow you to discontinue unpopular items, or push surplus stock. You can also see what certain customers are buying and target push promotions to their email or mobile device.

Time

Many business owners testify to never having enough time in the day to do everything required for the betterment of their business. Many admin tasks associated with running a business, such as inventory management, accounting and staffing, are mandatory, mundane and time-consuming. EPOS systems have the capacity to automate features, reducing the time spent faffing in spreadsheets and more time running your business.

Queue management: Advantage and disadvantage of EPOSsystems have the capacity to reduce the average transaction time. This cuts queues, reduces wait times and improves customer satisfaction.

Staff Training: EPOS software interfaces vary from different providers. Systems offering a clean uncluttered interface with intuitive, user-friendly functions are best suited to fast-paced industries such as hospitality and retail. Your staff are your front-line users so they have to be happy with the functionality of the system in order to remain engaged and immersed in your selling processes. A simple system ensures your staff can be operational, serving customers and taking payments in a matter of minutes.

Better use of time: Employees who would usually be stuck in the back with a clipboard, or counting cash in the office are freed up for a better use of their time, serving your customers. More people to serve means fewer frustrated walkouts, more time building rapport and an improved customer experience.

Money

The additional insight afforded by an innovative EPOS system will allow you to manage your finances with ease. With a clear view of incoming revenue and outgoing costs, spotting opportunities for savings is easy.

Inventory Management: Inventory management is the bedrock of good business. Poor stock management impedes cash flow, risks wastage, shrinkage and can easily be taken advantage of by unscrupulous staff. Running out of stock is also a huge blow to customer satisfaction, making you look ill-prepared and unprofessional. EPOS not only eliminates the need for time-consuming stock takes, it also eliminates the human error involved with them. When stock is running low, the system can order more, ensuring you never run out. Anomalous data can also flag up employee theft, which costs the retail and hospitality sector millions in revenue each year.

Marketing: No longer restricted to the realm of print and radio, marketing can be a cost-effective way of gaining new customers, retaining old ones and raising brand awareness. By integrating your EPOS with marketing software you can send out direct email campaigns to your customer base alerting them to events and offers, with a view to boosting revenue. This can be done via email newsletters, push promotions via text or by developing your own integrated app.

Staffing: Staffing costs are some of a business's biggest expenses. By accurately tracking footfall you can forecast when your busiest times of day, allowing you to rota on staff accordingly. This ensures you are only paying for the employees you need, when you need them, cutting costs associated by an inflated staff bill.

Customer Retention

The age of internet shopping has seen consumers becoming increasingly disloyal. EPOS systems facilitate a number of ways in which to promote buying behaviours, keep customers coming back and reward loyalty, much in the same way large corporations do.

Loyalty programmes: By offering your customers branded loyalty cards or the opportunity to earn points and promotions via an app on their phone, you incentivise repeat business. This is also a prime opportunity to collect customer data for marketing purposes, meaning you can tailor offers and promotions to specific individuals.

Improved customer experience: Better inventory management systems empower staff to answer customer queries in a matter of moments, not to mention the queue cutting capabilities. This helps ensure customers never abandon a purchase.

Connect your on and offline stores: By linking your e-commerce store with your physical operations you can ensure you never run out of stock, risking complaints, and reputational damage.

Employee engagement

Your employees are your first point of contact and your brand ambassadors. Giving them the best tools for their job, facilitating great customer service and incentivising staff to perform, boosts profitability.

Incentivise top performers: The sales metrics allow you to decipher who sold, what, when and how often. By identifying top performers you can reward and celebrate staff who exceed targets. By championing this behavior you can encourage a healthy sense of competition among your workforce and encourage them to push themselves, fueling the growth of your business.

User-friendly: Equipping staff with a simple, user-friendly interface mean staff need minimal training and can be up and running in less than 15 minutes. An intuitive system means the average transaction time is reduced, allowing your staff to serve more customers.

More time serving customers: EPOS reduces the amount of time your staff have to dedicate to tedious admin tasks. Less time on inventory management or cashing the till there’s more time dedicated to helping customers or meeting training needs.

Restaurant EPoS

Restaurant EPoS systems work to speed up the order flow between different working parts of the restaurant. They provide a faster and more reliable interface between the server and the kitchen (with orders being directly routed to the right place). Instructions are printed out clearly in the most appropriate place, helping to speed up service to customers. At the same time, by reducing the needs of waiters to run backwards and forwards giving orders to the kitchen - your staff have more time to spend looking after your customers. Meanwhile simple tasks like providing a bill are dealt with in seconds, no more calculator required! For business owners, you have information at your fingers tips on how different parts of your business are performing, how certain menu items are performing and how different members of staff are doing. You can react to this information where necessary to improve your business.

 

Pubs, Bars & Nightclubs

EPoS systems provide a number of solutions to these environments. They allow speedy customer service while ensuring pricing consistency. Allowing you to make more sales and help keep your customers happy. Meanwhile they provide a very robust method of accounting for payments. As a business owner you can assign different staff to different terminals, make them responsible for their own cash drawers and quickly highlight any problems within your business. At the same time, your EPoS system is constantly gathering data on your customers behaviour. At a glance you can see how promotions are doing, keep track of stock to assist with your ordering and get general information on your business performance. From single locations to huge estates EPoS systems provide vital business information, while providing solutions to the unique challenges of dealing with customers in a fast, cash based environment.

 

Hotel EPoS

In a hotel environment EPoS helps to integrate and record guest activity in all parts of your hotel in real time. From the largest resort hotels with multiple restaurants and bars to small boutique hotels - EPoS handles the challenge of billing the right customer and keeping of track of their spend. At the same time, the general information being collected on occupancy, sales in different areas of the business and staff performance is invaluable to management. Detailed reporting allows management to drill down into the performance of different areas of the business from macro to micro.

EPOS specialist CBE is continuing to expand its already significant presence within the UK, according to retail director Oliver Sheridan.

 


He confirmed that during 2019 the company reached the milestone of 1,000 sites in the UK across the forecourt and convenience store sector, and despite the unforeseen onset of Covid-19, CBE is on target to achieve double-digit growth in the UK in 2020 as an ever-growing list of retailers invest in its Futa EPOS systems.

One notable installation was with Hockenhull Garages, which recently opened ‘The Stage’ Service Station in Wigston.

“CBE is thrilled to continue growing our partnership with the Hockenhulls. HGS is one of many groups within the UK retail sector that has moved to CBE over the last three years,” said Sheridan.

HGS managing director Joe Hockenhull, said: “As a company, we have been working with CBE for just over a year now, and the relationship we have with them is excellent. We installed CBE’s head office solution a year ago, and it has allowed us to operate our business more efficiently, enabling us to control our margins in all our stores from one location.

“Due to the current global pandemic, we have had to embrace new technologies that make the shopping experience safer for our customers. CBE has enabled us to use mobile payments, while the solution also allowed us to integrate with Uber Eats, an online food ordering and delivery platform.

“The support network that has been put in place for us as a company has been extremely helpful and beneficial; we have weekly meetings with our account manager to manage and discuss progress, while also receiving demonstrations on how to get the best out of the system.

“Overall, the turn-around time for calls logged to CBE’s support desk is excellent, especially in comparison to previous till and back-office systems we have worked with. If for some reason, we do not have the response we would hope for with the first line team; we have a clear escalation path within CBE.

“The support and installation teams in the UK are brilliant, we have had many installations in the last year, and all have been managed smoothly. CBE do as much as they can for us to ease the process, while always being contactable after the installations for any issues or queries we may have. The experience has been great so far, whether it is with support or installations. CBE is a fantastic company to work with, and we look forward to availing of the many innovations they have in the pipeline,”

Sheridan said the CBE was also expanding into the hospitality side of the business within the UK, and it has just commenced a rollout of 440 sites to be complete by the end of 2021 which will also see CBE expand into The Netherlands.

“This has enabled CBE to move into new state-of-the-art headquarters in Derby, and as well as doubling our UK workforce we have increased the numbers in our R&D department in Claremorris and now employ 160 highly skilled people within the UK & Ireland.”
