‘It’s a relief that when we sell a product in-store, the system automatically amends our website stock. And when we input new stock we can choose whether it’s available or not available. It will be marked as out of stock straight away, helping us avoid unwanted stock issues.’
– Anastasia Morritt, Owner of Coquette Clothes – Fitzroy, Victoria

FAQs
A clothing store point of sale (POS) is a computerised system that manages the sales process from start to finish, including inventory management, sales tracking, customer management and reporting.
With a clothing store POS, you can manage your inventory easily by tracking the stock levels of all your items in real time. This ensures that you never run out of stock and can quickly reorder items when needed. You can also track your sales and turnover, enabling you to make data-driven decisions to improve your store’s profitability.
A clothing store POS also allows you to manage customer data, including their purchase history and contact information. This enables you to provide personalised customer service and offer tailored promotions and discounts to increase customer loyalty.
First, inventory management is a crucial feature. A good POS system should allow you to track inventory levels, manage stock and receive notifications when items run low. This feature helps you keep track of your stock levels, avoid stock-outs and ensure that you always have the right products in stock to meet customer demand.
Second, a user-friendly interface is important. The POS system should be easy to navigate and the interface should be intuitive and simple to use. This feature enables your staff to process sales, manage inventory and handle customer transactions quickly, saving you time and improving customer satisfaction.
Third, customer management is another key feature to consider. A good POS system should enable you to capture customer data such as purchase history, contact information and preferences. This feature helps you build customer loyalty by providing personalised experiences and targeted marketing promotions.
Finally, reporting and analytics capabilities are important for gaining insights into your business performance. A good POS system should enable you to track sales, turnover and inventory levels, and generate reports that can help you make data-driven decisions.
