The Hidden Costs of Switching POS Systems

When considering a transition to a new POS System, the four elements below should not be overlooked as they can have a significant impact on your bottom line over time.

Hackers, virus, data breaches, etc. are serious issues that can impact a brand very negatively. No company will benefit from being publicized for customers’ credit card details having been stolen or exposed to fraud. Point of Sale systems have often been identified as a weak link for security in a business, and choosing a secure POS is critical to establish trust with customers and avoid unwanted negative publicity.

Being able to gather data about customers, their buying patterns and what they are interested in puts a business at a strong advantage against the ones who do not collect this information. Relationships with their customers and the ability to send targeted marketing messages are critical, and lacking these insights can be very detrimental to a business and a brand.

The impression customers have when they visit a business, the feel of the place and the brand is critical to the success of a business. With the current rapid technology advances, customers now have high expectations and can be turned off and not return to businesses that lag behind in this area.

Being able to integrate the POS with other business critical applications can save a business valuable time and money by helping them manage employees more efficiently or automatically reconcile accounting data and more

While changing Point of Sale can seem like a large undertaking, the cost of keeping with the status quo can be tremendously higher. Not only have modern tablet-based point of sale systems, like Revel Systems, proven to be undeniably cheaper than legacy POS systems, not being able to leverage the features of modern systems in today’s digital and fast-paced world can be extremely costly. Finally, customers expectations have changed and the experience delivered by a brand can make a huge difference in consumers’ adoption and recurring purchases so serious attention to the in-person experience is crucial.
