One of the most important decisions you'll have to make is whether or not to purchase a POS system for your business. At the same time, before purchasing the POS, any business owner must ask themselves how they can increase their profits.

Calculating your profits

As technology got better and began becoming the epitome of information and its storage, naturally, data collection became the norm as the computer age advanced. Using technology to get the knowledge you need to flourish in business has become the standard, from Google search data to traffic analytics to data about your health recorded in your Fitbit. To compete stores must choose the most efficient cash management systems along with a POS that will help you subsist.

A good Android POS system's profit calculation is more than just a cost price and sale price total. Taxes on purchases and sales, stock shrinkage in its various forms, and losses from discounts and promotions must all be taken into account by the POS reporting system. After that, the software must calculate a profit margin in both percentage and cash terms.

You can not only assess where you're missing your goal markup with these reports, but you can also understand why – the reason for missing your goals. Then you may decide if you need to risk a price increase or whether you can achieve the goal markup by reducing shrinkage or eliminating the product from a promotional line.

Sales Reports

Quantity sold, days and times of sales, blank figures, and data on which staff are making sales can all provide more insight into why a product is or isn't profitable, allowing you to make the best selections possible. The quantity sold versus the predict product profits must appear well-balanced, failing which you might want to investigate your areas of loss. The days and hours at which a product is sold may signal that it should become seasonal, and that it should be archived during the winter or summer months to avoid becoming an unproductive line during the slower months of the year.

Employee sales data is also extremely important. The POS results may show that some employees just have higher sales abilities for specific products, indicating that encouraging increased interaction between employees about those products could help the rest of the team boost sales on a low-performing item.

Stocks and inventories

While customers, sales, accounting, banking, and transaction records are all divided into categories in the android POS reports, it is the stock reports that hold popularity among the retailers. These reports current stock levels, as well as information on available stock and stock value. There's also a stock margin comparison page, discrepancy reports, history, a dedicated non-selling stock page. In other words, a mountain of data is at your disposal to ensure you invest in merchandise that jumps off the shelf and into the basket of a customer.
