Unlike retail stores, thrift stores work differently. For the most part, they need to track inventory, especially since most of their goods comes from donations. Operating as a not-for-profit or as charitable institutions, these shops must tag unique items, the moment they are received and account for the inventory present in the store. It is these distinctive factors that make it important to get a customised POS system, especially for thrift stores.
Thrift store employees are always hard-pressed for time. Therefore, they need systems that are easy to use and operate, without having to navigate across complex modules. The POS should also be enabled on the tablet, smartphone, or cash register so that there are no issues with accessibility.
With countless items donated daily, employees cannot calculate each of them by hand. OVERSEE POS allows you to tag your inventory with only a simple data entry requirement, which is also automated. Just scan the barcode or the price tag of the item to add it to the inventory. Once sold, the item is automatically removed from the list.
If you are a charitable organisation, then provide customers with the ability to round up their purchases. When asked, customers are comfortable rounding them off. It is also a great way to increase charitable profits. Even if you are not a charity, you can give your customers the option so that another welfare organisation your choice can benefit from such sales.
Colour-coded tags are a great way to coincide with the turns you choose, especially if your thrift shop is working on rotational sales. Based on the calendar, the discounts are automatically applied. It saves a lot of time and energy is also an excellent marketing strategy.
