Meet Mark. He is a proud owner of a coffee shop chain that has three outlets in three different locations. Mark is happy with how things have turned out for him and his business.

But, there’s a problem…

With three stores, in three different locations, Mark has to deal with three sets of decentralized financial reports, inventory records and sales spreadsheets—all the while trying to manage the operations across all the three cafes efficiently.

Mark finds the job very tiring and cumbersome. Sometimes, managing everything smoothly and in a streamlined manner, can become humanly impossible.

Where there’s a problem, there’s always a solution

In case of Mark, the solution lies with deploying a cloud-based POS system.

What is a cloud-based POS system and how it can help Mark?

Cloud-Based POS – What Is It?

A cloud-based POS system is a type of POS system in which all data is stored online, rather than an on-premise computer or server. It’s like when you store a file in Google Drive or Dropbox. This online platform is referred to as “the cloud”.

From a Local Hardware to a Cloud – What Difference Does It Make?

First, you don’t have to spend on expensive server and storage hardware purchases.

Second, since the data is stored online, it can be accessed from anywhere.

Third, syncing the data with an online platform means that you receive updated information in real time.

How This Solution Helps Mark?

By deploying a cloud-based POS system across all his coffee shops, Mark can efficiently supervise, control and streamline his business operations.

• All the financial data can be accessed in real time through one single platform. Mark would know how each of his coffee shops are performing in terms of coffee sales.
• Mark can monitor the operations by reviewing the periodic financial reports, even when he is not in the country, cloud technology allows access virtually from any part of the world.
• Mark can remotely perform inventory management for each of the four shops—yes, even when he’s on holidays.

All this, and every other task that Mark can perform on a standard POS system (analytics and customer management). He can do it on a cloud-based POS system as well—albeit more efficiently, conveniently and productively.
