5 Reasons Why SAP Customer Checkout is the Right Point-of-Sale Software for You!

[elena_vavitsa]

Hello,

In this blog I’d like to show you why SAP Customer Checkout is the right fit for your business when  searching for a point-of-sale system.

A modern point-of-sale system has to be more sophisticated to comply with growing demands of both worlds – the digital and physical. Besides providing an efficient checkout process, point-of-sale systems are often facing various of other challenges.

Let me summarize some of the Challenges:

• End-to-End integration: Point-of-sale systems are no self-sufficient silos, they have to be integrated into the IT architecture and interact with other systems (e.g. warehouse management systems). Master data need to be available within a short time.


• Transparency: It is important that sales and stock information are available in real-time so that important decisions or ordering replenishments can be made fast.


• Legal requirements: Point-of-sale systems need to meet legal and local requirements when selling in different countries or regions. GDPR standards or other changing regulations also need to be considered.


• Hardware: The interaction of soft- and hardware is often underestimated when choosing a point-of-sale software. The systems need to be flexible to run on classical POS devices, but also modern tablets to be mobile.


• Omni-channel processes: A vital component to stay competitive in such digital era is to cover different sales channels. Customers expect to buy online and pick-up in store - click & collect scenarios are getting more popular, not only in times of COVID-19.
