This affects the delivery and installation time
The number of stores and tills naturally affects the delivery and installation time and the less stores and devices the faster it can be done. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that it should take forever if you have many stores. If you choose the right supplier, it can be done quite efficient, so you can move on.
It also affects the schedule whether you’re changing both hardware and software. If you’re changing hardware, or both, it prolongs the process and you will need to have consultants in your stores to install the new equipment.
Self-service solutions and mobile POS
If you’re having other solutions than traditional POS, such as self-service solutions and mobile POS, delivered and installed you’ll need to have consultants coming by your stores. Self-service tills are being installed in the same way as traditional tills meaning that they require a permanent location in the store. If you’re choosing mobile self-scanning with handheld scanners it requires a rack for the scanners that should be placed by the store entrance and tills that are suitable for the solution. Are you on the other hand choosing self-scanning where the customers are using their own mobile phones it only takes tills that are suitable for the solution.
Mobile POS on the contrary is a flexible unit that can be placed in a drawer by the traditional till, so you can take it out when needed. It can also be a permanent part of the staffs’ working day and be put in a belt, so they can bring it with them around the store.
Avoid closing your stores and losing earnings
There are several things that can help you ensure that you don’t have to close your stores and thereby lose earnings when you’re changing your POS solution. If you’re only changing your software, you can choose a supplier who’s offering to deliver and install remote. That way it’s not necessary to have consultants coming to your stores and it will make the process more efficient.
Depending on the number of stores and tills it’s also a good idea to choose a supplier who can make sure that the old system and the new system can run parallel. That way there are no “gaps” in the process where you have to close your stores or where you risk losing critical business data.
