Non-food
Great variety means need for flexibility
The fact that stores in the non-food industry don’t sell food means that they can, in theory, sell anything else. That’s why POS solutions for the non-food industry must offer great flexibility and a comprehensive range of customization options to meet the needs and demands of individual chains and stores. This includes flexible POS systems and customizable retail POS solutions.
Seasonal fluctuations:
Seasons, including festive seasons, affect most retail industries, including the non-food sector. At particular times of the year, seasonal articles, like garden furniture, or seasonal activities, like Christmas gift wrapping, may require much attention. Utilizing seasonal retail technology can help manage these fluctuations effectively.
Articles purchased as gifts
In some types of non-food stores, customers often buy articles as gifts for others. This means that some types of stores in the non-food industry typically handle a higher number of returns and exchanges than in other industries. Because their articles are popular gifts, such stores may also handle many transactions that involve selling and redeeming gift cards, gift card balance checks, etc. Our efficient gift card processing systems are designed to handle these transactions smoothly, ensuring a seamless customer experience.
What does it take to be successful in non-food?
- Deployment and integration flexibility, adaptability, and scalability: Markets and technologies change rapidly, and most retail chains have growth and expansion ambitions. A POS solution typically has a lifespan of at least ten years, so it must offer enough deployment and integration flexibility to enable retailers in the non-food industry to scale and adapt to whatever changes may come. This flexibility supports non-food retail POS solutions.
- Unified commerce for consistent customer experience: In many non-food chains, the POS solution works with webshop systems, Click&Collect, etc., in unified commerce or omnichannel ecosystems, where prices, campaigns, and discounts must be the same across all channels. Unified commerce solutions ensure a seamless shopping experience for customers.
- Staff turnover can be high: Onboarding and training of new staff, as well as the related management of access, authentication, and permissions, must be quick and easy.
- Operational efficiency and proactive problem resolution: If something goes wrong, effects are often immediately felt on non-food stores’ bottom-line figures. Any disruptions must be kept to an absolute minimum, and support must be available during all opening hours to resolve problems quickly. Utilizing advanced reporting tools can help monitor and optimize store performance.
