What if it just became reality in the form of a modern credit card machine?
Today’s smart point of sale systems
As soon as you receive your system from your merchant service provider, you will begin to be amazed by what it can do for you. Of course, fast and secure payments are at the foundation, protected by tokenization and capable of accepting funds from numerous methods and sources. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
The secret to the multiple talents of smart credit card machines is their database software. This repository can hold details about your complete product catalog, your customers, and their buying patterns. It also integrates with your accounting program, enabling you to complete all of your bookkeeping and payroll tasks.

Learn more about how your credit card machine can enable intelligent ordering, richer customer reactions, and insightful sales and employee reports.
Inventory management and ordering
Your credit card machine connects to peripherals, including barcode readers that scan each piece of merchandise when it arrives. You are then able to follow the progress of every item you sell: how long it sat in your warehouse, when it was bought, and by whom.
Additionally, the POS connected to your machine has tools that can keep running counts of quantities in real time. You can even be notified when you start to run low so that you can re-order in plenty of time.
Better customer service and interactions
When people are able to obtain what they want without a delay, your business gains credibility as well as customer trust. Enhance these essential elements by using POS software that lets you customize and send emails. This makes it easy to share valuable information about your shop, products, and staff, ultimately driving more sales.
As your reach expands and shoppers become more excited about what you have to offer, you will find that your client base broadens. But just how do you keep track of your growth? How do you know where you are succeeding and which areas require additional attention? The solution lies in your system’s reporting features.
Employee and sales reports
With just a few clicks, your modern credit card machine taps into its treasure trove of data. It gathers and organizes these pieces of information into reports about employee productivity, inventory quantities, customer buying behaviors, and even profits and losses.
Your system has you covered whether you're tracking top-performing staff, identifying trending products, or reviewing return and refund activity from the past month. It provides the insights you need to make informed decisions and optimize your business. If you have not yet experienced the numerous benefits of a smart terminal for yourself, why not make now the time that you revolutionize virtually every aspect of your store’s operations? Contact your merchant service provider today to get started.
