Most of us talk about “Cloud Inventory & POS” without understanding its actual advantages. In this post, we’re clearing the fog that surrounds Cloud Inventory & POS and how it can benefit your business in four simple ways.
1. Real Time Visibility
As the old saying goes, information is power and it’s never been truer than in today’s digital world. It was Edward Demming that once said “without data, you’re just another person with an opinion”. Having data to support your business decisions gives you a competitive advantage. Cloud Inventory gives you the ability to see exactly how much stock you have, at a given time makes you more operationally efficient and reduces the amount of staff time spent finding stock. It also means you will have the ability to take orders on the go.

2. Omni Channel Success
Having a system that connects and talks across all your channels means you have a greater ability to make sales. If your systems can’t talk to each other, then you’re basically living in the 1990’s. Nowadays, there are a number of systems that allow for pre-built integration’s. Cin7’s Cloud Inventory integrates with numerous systems i.e. Xero, Quickbooks, Magento, and Shopify. Being integrated will also mean less need for IT support to run your business.
3. Mobile or go home
Don’t underestimate the impact mobile has had on the way people buy. Businesses and consumers alike. Being able to take the checkout to your customer using tablets or mobile, offers unique advantage and yet again increases your ability to make more sales. With a good Cloud Inventory system like Cin7, you have the ability create a mobile checkout, meaning you’re free to operate pop ups stores, add registers or send quotes on the go. Just in time for the pressures that Christmas shopping brings.

4. Eliminating Data Loss
Being able to store and access all your information from a central, secure location has changed the way consumers and business users operate. It used to be a pretty hard sell to convince people to use things like Dropbox or iCloud. Consumers led the way with cloud adoption and businesses have definitely seen the benefits. Sometimes it’s just easier to leave it to the experts to manage your data. That’s not to say you should be performing good due diligence!
