Like all other companies in the Philippines, and around the world, laundry businesses are feeling the need to embrace the digital world. One of the best ways that a laundry can cut costs, make their jobs easier, and help customers is to employ a POS system. With the best POS systems, your laundry will start to notice some of the following benefits.
Downtime Protection
No matter what happens people need to be able to wash their clothes and receive other laundry services. If the internet goes down, your connection gets interrupted, or you experience some other problem that causes a downtime a good POS system allows you to still be able to process payments. Not only can you take payments but all of your other features remain intact such as the ability to see your stock and product information.
Easy Loyalty Programs
Laundries in the Philippines have great customers and rewarding those customers can help to build loyal customers. With a high-quality POS system, businesses can easily establish a customer loyalty program that will reward people for being repeat customers. Further, it can help you to greet customers and store information that can help provide a personalized experience. Both factors can help to retain customers and provide a quality experience.
Businesses that maintain loyalty programs are far more likely to get repeat business, especially when the program offers customers something actually rewarding. Think of credit card companies that offer points for spending, it may take a lot of points to earn something but people work hard to get those points so that they can use them.
Employee Management
Scheduling and managing your employees can be difficult and many companies use separate software to manage their employees. With a digital POS system, you can incorporate employee management into one platform. Not only do employees get their own accounts in the POS system but it also allows you to create schedules, manage timecards, manage time-off requests, and more all within the same system. Combining the two systems not only saves money but makes everything much simpler.
Tie Into Digital Marketing Platforms
While there is still physical marketing in the Philippines, a vast amount of advertising around the world has moved to digital platforms such as email marketing and search engine optimization. With the help of a high-quality digital POS system, you can have all of your digital marketing tools built into the same platform that you rely on for processing payments, managing stock, and more. This enables simple digital marketing campaigns that are easy to pull up from your POS and integrates customer accounts that already exist in your POS system into your digital marketing.
Accounting Features
Accounting takes either a lot of time or a lot of money for many businesses. Either they do their own accounting or hire someone to do it. With a digital POS system, the amount of work that needs to be done to manage marketing is cut down dramatically. Digital POS systems can print out all kidneys of reports from employee pay to income to the amount of tax charged. Beyond that though, the systems are highly complex and allow for you to format your own accounting reports and sales reports to get custom information out of the system.
These are just some of the benefits you can get when you move over to having a POS system. Most importantly your business will gain the boost that comes from being connected and you will set yourself ahead of the laundries that have yet to embrace the digital world. It is essential to pick out the perfect POS system for your business though and that means finding one with all of the features that you want and need.
