In the fast and technology-driven world today, the manner of the business collecting payments either boosts or unravels further development. And regardless of whether you are in the retail, hospitality or a fast-moving customer-centric business, how you process transactions determines everything related to customer satisfaction to the flow of money.
Basic till and standalone card machine are now in the past. Modern customers want everything fast, convenient, and with a variety of ways of paying, such as contactless cards and mobile wallets, buy-now-pay-later, etc. Companies which do not achieve these expectations will find themselves on the losing side to speedier rivals.
Nevertheless, modernisation of payments is not a matter of adaptation to the new technology. It’s about smoothing out the entire process of transaction: the time between the sale takes place and the money arrives will jump into the bank.
A lot of companies continue to use different systems of EPOS, inventory, payments. Although this arrangement can appear to be a cost-effective solution initially, it tends to cause a whole range of inefficiencies - approx. manual reconciliation, large amount of administration time, poor data visibility, etc.
These problems can easily put growing businesses in serious trouble. Any inventory error caused by manual activities, slow payout or even customers abandoning you due to slow/manual checkouts all play a role in your bottom line. The thing is that you require a payment solution that works hard to the extent that you do.
The EPOS and payments can also be a game-changer. It made work day to day easier because it allows all your tools to work with one easy to use platform. Faster transactions, automation of reconciliation, real-time reporting, and less time managing the administrative side with more time to attend to customers.
It also gives your business the power of data. So, you would like to know what sells the best on weekends? Or which employee does the largest number of transactions? These insights are what you are provided with using an integrated solution that enables you to make smarter and faster decisions.
Any small business depends on its cash flow. An excellent payments provider will not only be super-fast at processing transactions, he or she will also make your money move faster to your account. Seek out T+1 (next-day settlement) so that you can maintain the strength of your cash flow, avoid the overdraft and enable you to better plan and manage either stock or payroll.
One payment system is not the other. Trying to select a provider, one should not focus on the rates alone. Factor in the support, the hardware, how easy it is to set up and how stuck you are in unhelpful contracts. Clear pricing, friendly service, quick withdrawal must become a matter of course and not features.
When you are prepared to strengthen your payment system, find a method that integrates EPOS and payments, and that makes a robust solution. And that is the kind of solutions IPOSG Payments provides: flexible, swift, fully integrated services to fit business in the modern world.
