- What is the best POS system for a bookstore?
-
Bookstores need a POS system that can manage and organize a diverse inventory, accept all payment types, and connect to leading ecommerce and loyalty platforms. The best bookstore POS systems will also have online connectivity, with cloud storage and 24/7 access, so business owners can keep on top of their store from any location and at any time.
- What POS integrations should a bookstore use?
-
Bookstores typically require three key integrations in order to remain competitive. Firstly, they should partner with an ecommerce platform to sell books online and build a worldwide customer base.
Next, a bookstore should connect with email marketing platforms like Mailchimp to keep in contact with customers.
Finally, they should link their POS with accounting software to easily manage bookkeeping and financial reporting.
- What is the best inventory software for retailers?
-
With an Epos Now POS system, there’s no need for separate inventory management software or spreadsheets as all of your inventory is stored in your back office system and automated, no matter how many books you've got on your shelves.
You can also set up low-stock alerts so that you know which books to re-order after you sell them and avoid any bare-shelf nightmares!
