For whom is Retail Pro software designed?
Specialty retailers who are doing great things with their retail business and need a retail software that gives them the flexibility to implement their game-changing ideas anywhere in the world. Our retailers are connecting data from every application for a single view of their business, unifying inventory across stores, channels, and supply chains, striving for operational excellence, and creating awesome customer experiences.
What is Retail Pro?
It’s a retail management software platform with powerful POS, inventory, employee, and customer management, back office, and reporting capabilities.
What are some of the features that come with Retail Pro software right out of the box?
Customer-centric flexibility at the POS – Sales associates have easy access to POS options, including transaction lookup, pending transactions, central customer lookup, gift card balance check, promotions, and customer tax assignments and rebates. On-hand inventory availability lookup – With inventory visibility that goes deep into a particular store (within a single bin or shelf) or enterprise-wide, sales associates can look up product availability and validate items by their inventory image straight from the POS. You can tie this visibility to your ecommerce site and allow shoppers to reserve items from the nearest store. Omnichannel order fulfillment – Retail Pro allows associates to create sales at one location and fulfill the order at any other location, as part of your BOPIS, Click and Collect or other omnichannel offerings. Employee management – You can accurately track employee sales performance by tracking specific employee details for each sales transaction and ensure that correct commission levels are assigned and rewarded for each completed sale.
