Introducing IPOS: Your Business’s New Best Friend

As a business owner, tracking your goods or services can be challenging. From low stock reminders to invoicing and receipting customers for purchases, to name a few, it can be quite overwhelming running a business. However, things can be easier with a good inventory and bookkeeping app.

What is IPOS, and How Does It Work?

IPOS by Smartware is a retail business solution equipped with tools such as point of sale (POS), inventory management, sales analytics, and customer relationship management (CRM), which enable  SMEs and Large-scale businesses to run their businesses seamlessly.

IPOS is a super helper for businesses. As a business owner, IPOS helps you keep track of all the things you sell (like toys, clothes, etc) and makes it easier to sell them to customers.

By connecting all the important aspects of your business—from the things you sell and the number of items you have available to how much you’ve earned—IPOS simplifies your operations and enhances your efficiency.

What Can You Do with IPOS?

With IPOS, your businesses can perform a wide range of tasks to enhance their operations, such as:

Goods & Service Tracking: Monitor stock levels, receive alerts for low stock, and track product movement. With IPOS, you know when you are running low on a particular product and when to get more.

Point of Sale: IPOS Point of Sale handles different methods of payment. Whether the customer uses cash, a credit card, or even a digital payment method, IPOS makes sure the payment is done safely and smoothly.

Sometimes, as a business owner, you want to make your customers happy by giving them a lower price. The IPOS Point of Sale makes it easy to do that. If there’s a discount or a special offer, IPOS will take care of reducing the price, just like applying a coupon.

Sales Reporting: It helps you keep an eye on what’s happening in your business over time. It can tell if a lot of people are buying toys one week but maybe more clothes the next.

The Sales report also knows what customers like to buy. For example, if many people buy red toys or big shirts, it remembers that. This helps you know what people enjoy getting from the store.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM): It keeps track of what each customer has bought before. It’s like having a shopping diary that shows what they picked out from the store.

So, IPOS is like being a friendly helper who knows all about your customers and helps you make them happy. It keeps all the important details, so you can give your customers a great shopping experience.

Purchase & Supplier Management: Keep track of suppliers, orders, and incoming inventory.

Multi-Store Support: Manage inventory and sales across multiple store or branches.

Who Can Use IPOS?

IPOS is like a helpful friend that works well with all sorts of businesses. It’s great for stores like boutiques. It’s also suitable for small or medium-sized businesses (SMEs).

And you know what’s even cooler? Big shops with many branches, like Ebeano, Shoprite, or Justrite, can also use IPOS. So, whether you have just one shop or many, IPOS is here to make things better for you.

How Many Users Can Be On IPOS?

In a big business setup, there can be three types of users on IPOS: Basic User, Manager User, and Admin User. Let’s explain what each means:

Admin User: This is like the boss of the store or place. They’re the owner and have control over everything and they decide how many users to add to IPOS.

Manager User: Think of this person as someone who takes care of the store. They manage things and make sure everything runs smoothly.

Basic User: They are the cashiers or the friendly faces at the front desk who help customers.

A store can have more than one cashier or manager, but the business owner (that’s the Admin) decides how many users they want to add.

To sum it up, in a big business, there are three main types of users: the boss (Admin), the manager, and the front-desk helpers (Basic Users). For smaller businesses, there’s usually just one person managing everything.
