Retail Software Up-take in Ireland

Hi All, Just a quick note I’d like to add this week in relation to the up-take of POS software in retail here in Ireland,

In researching our market here with retail software I found quite a few published documents on the up-take and the benefits of POS software and the lack of should I say, I found that over 75% of retailers are still using old ECR’s (electronic Cash Registers) and gaining little or no value for these machines,

When I looked deeper into this I found the many retailers just did not feel the need for EPOS mainly due to the fact that our economy has been so strong for the last 10-15 years or so and that having up to the minute reports and a good over-all picture was for many retailers not needed they could afford to lose money without any consequence as things were going so well ( a few points here and there wasn’t an issue ).

Well folks times they are a changing, there is still a lot of money to be made out there in retail but things are getting tighter and most retailers are seeing the need and benefits of EPOS and most wish they’d done it earlier (some could have probably retired on what they supposedly didn’t care about) again all is not lost why don’t we look at the big retailers what are they doing to keep their customers flooding in well I’ll tell you.  

Investing in the future and making themselves EPOS sound to drive forward into the future and it’s not just big retailers who can do this a good EPOS system doesn’t have to break the bank you too can have a system as good if not better that the big retailers and have it tailored to your specific business.

There is an investment and a time investment of course but think of this if an EPOS system saves you 5% per annum and you turn over 1 million thats 50 thousand I wish I could sell an EPOS system for 50k so think about it if you spend 25k and save 50k its really a no brainer.

If you want to have a look at a super EPOS system that won’t break the bank have a look at this Microsoft RMS.

By the way don’t be afraid to ask us any questions on anything relating to I.T in retail.
