The combination of online shop and "offline" retail stores becomes more and more important in in retail industry. Starting with in-store pick-up of items purchased online, over allowing items purchased online to be returned at a physical store, through to allowing customers to place orders online while at a physical store. Therefore, a modern franchise POS solution should be able to connect to online stores and a central ERP system for shared stocks. You as a franchisor should use the legal data collected to analyze the buying behavior of your customers, best in combination with loyalty programs.
Central controlling and price management
The central control and the correct distribution of the price across all locations worldwide is one of the most important functionalities. Each professional franchisor requires this functions within a POS software based on the given organisation structure. Unfortunately, in practice, it has been shown that many cash providers still have problems distributing the correct prices or pricelists resprectively for a given time period.
The franchisee partners must be able to quickly and easily add items to its local assortment and be able to combine existing articles to a special price set (for example: menu offers, combo box prices). With one mouseclick, the affected POS should be automatically informed and updated, so the the correct button appear in the quick selection and product bundles are scannable for the cashiers.

- Connection of your native franchise app to the POS system
- Couponing - general marketing discounts
- Central management of vouchers
