Right point of sale system for your pet store

Let me start with saying, You own such a unique business! Yours is not an average business just serving for customer needs. A pet store is about catering for human feelings. It’s all about love and companionship. You’ve probably got in this business because you are yourself a dye-hard pet lover.

However, uniqueness of your business goes far beyond that. For example, most businesses either deal in products or services. Pet stores, normally, sell both products and services. In a pet store, you’ll find dog grooming products and also dog grooming services. Now we are talking specific details that you must consider when getting your next point of sale system.

So, being a pet lover and expert in point of sale systems, I’ve decided to prepare this little list of features that you must look for in your pet store point of sale system:

I’ll start by saying, I would love to see you go with Hike iPad point of sale because I’m part of the Hike team, I know it will tick all boxes and they are the one who pays for my wages and in turn cost of this article.

OK, so here are the 3 important features you must look for when looking for your next pet store point of sale software:

IPad point of sale – mobile, on-cloud

iPad point of sale allows you to serve anywhere within your store. You could be on the floor discussing pet grooming services with a client. With your iPad point of sale system, you can check available appointments and book it right then and there without ever leaving your customer’s side.

Similarly, you could handle your inventory purchase, staff roster and appointments from anywhere. You don’t necessarily need to be in store to manage your store! Such flexibility will help you arrange your day the way you like and probably also free up some of your time!

Point of sale with Integrated Web Store

Your customers would love such extra facility while you save time and increase your sales! Your regular customers would love if they can place an after-hours pet supply order through your website and pick that up the next day when driving back home from work.

Your customers will save time. They can order anytime and won’t need to stand in a queue. You will be able to make an effective use of your day by preparing those orders when store is quiet mostly in the afternoon.

P.S: get a system that has an integrated inventory system so the online orders stay in line with what you have available in store.

OK, so that’s all from me on this topic. Hope it was useful and you enjoyed reading it. Thanks for stopping by!
