Specialty Retail Store Point of Sale
Specialty retail POS systems support the sale of a wide range of merchandise targeted at specific niche markets. Specialty retailers compete against larger general retailers by offering convenience, deeper selection, unique and hard to find merchandise and high levels of personalized service and expertise.
Specialty Retail Store POS specific features in MicroBiz for Windows include:
- Sales commissions – can be calculated for each item based on the sales amount or the gross profit and track commissions by employee to measure productivity.
- Multiple shipping addresses – ship to any of the multiple shipping addresses maintained for each customer, or ship the same selection to multiple recipients.
- Special orders/back orders – allows you to track special order items from the customer order to receiving, to inventory to the POS transaction.
- Group pricing or discounts – based on customer level or group.
- User defined product record fields – to track manufacturer, specs and other specific item information.
- Email marketing – deliver targeted campaigns by querying and downloading customer data for use with popular email marketing applications.
- Up-sell and suggested items – auto prompting at register triggered by the type of merchandise being purchased – so a customer buying a one item can be told of a sale on a related item or accessory.
- Kits or bundles – allows for bundling or grouping of merchandise, accessories or other related items to be sold as a package at point of sale.
- Layaways – collect deposits while holding the item out of inventory.
- Multi-dimensional inventory grid – to easily manage multi-attribute items such as merchandise with size, color and style or height, width and length attributes.
