point of sale (POS) and Retail Management Solution In the dynamic and very competitive world of retail and wholesale, small to mid-sized companies (SMEs) face unique challenges. No matter the size of your business, a successful company requires vision, execution, and a powerful scalable business platform. To succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace, retailers must find innovative ways to compete, ways that are not solely based on price. To effectively stay in business and maximise profitability, retailers must accurately manage variables, reduce operational costs, maximise efficiency, ensure top class customer service, and collaborate with suppliers. Many retailers face a daily struggle to be competitive due to operational inefficiencies, which, for a large part, can be easily rectified. They lack proper technological solutions and find themselves struggling with legacy systems that are incompatible, non-integrated, or in extreme cases, depending on spread sheets to analyse critical operational data. All of these are extremely inefficient and time consuming. Most retailers need an end-to-end integrated business management solution that can provide them with the real-time insight they need to make accurate and informed business decisions. SAP Business One Retail is an end-to-end retail solution that covers everything from point-of-sale (POS), store management and planning to customer relationship management, online shopping, and completely integrated ERP.

MULTI-BRANCH AND FRANCHISE Most retailers say that running a single store is challenging but manageable. With more experience and earnings, retailers often decide to spread their wings and open new stores. However, as they expand, they often complain that their systems are unable to cope with the increased transactions, staff, and management required. Many retailers try to apply the same formula that worked in the 1 or 2 stores. Interconnecting stores via multiple systems that do not interact with each other can prove expensive, especially considering the investment required for communication and IT infrastructure, as well as license and support fees. How can a retailer expand efficiently? By choosing a retail management system with multi-store POS capability, such as the SAP Business One Retail Management solution - a cost-effective, fully integrated POS solution. With SAP Business One Retail, all data is centralized - for ease of access from anywhere, anytime. Because all store data is in one central database you can access reports and manage store inventory across your multiple locations, to give greater centralised control of your stores and allow you to make better strategic decisions.
