Important Functions Performed by Cannabis Store POS Systems
Cannabis store POS systems are an essential component to your ability to effectively manage your operations. They perform a variety of important functions that are critical to your success:
- Streamlined Sales and Checkout Process – Cannabis store POS systems improve the speed and efficiency of your sales transactions, helping you avoid long checkout lines that can negatively impact your customer experience.
- Age Verification Compliance – It’s important to comply with age verification laws when selling alcohol and tobacco. The most advanced cannabis store POS systems come equipped with integrated ID scanners and age verification features that ensure you never accidentally sell alcohol to underage customers. This helps you avoid costly fines and legal issues.
- Inventory Management – Tracking inventory levels manually is an extremely time-consuming process that creates numerous opportunities for errors. Cannabis store POS systems provide real-time inventory tracking, low stock alerts and automated purchase orders to ensure you always maintain optimal stock levels.
- Sales and Customer Data Analysis – POS systems capture valuable sales data that allows you to analyze sales trends, identify top-selling products, track customer purchase history for marketing efforts, and make informed decisions that will help you boost revenue. You can often receive this analytics data in graphical form that makes it easier to understand.
- Employee Management – Cannabis store POS systems allow you to assign employee roles and permissions, track labor costs and productivity, and monitor staff activity to reduce theft and human errors.
- Promotions and Loyalty Programs – You can use your POS system to easily set up promotions, discounts and customer loyalty programs that will incentivize repeat business and increase customer lifetime value.
Benefits of Using Mariner Business Solutions as Your Cannabis Store POS System Provider
Mariner Business Solutions’ CannaPoint system is one of the leading cannabis store POS systems, and it offers a wide range of features that make it ideally suited for your business. These include:
- Multiple Location Data and Product Aggregation – You can manage several business locations with this POS system, even if you’re using different operating systems at each store. If you have multiple stores, instead of having to enter new products or customers into every store’s database, a centralized database can be maintained. With a central database, you can easily view comparisons of each store’s activity, sales, profits and COGS from one database. In addition, distribution of products can be easily facilitated to receive products in one location and then automatically transfer them out to the individual stores.
- Hot/Cold Analysis Report – CannaPoint’s detailed reporting breaks down sales and beginning/ending inventory for the month by category/subcategory.
- Bottle and Case Identification and Tracking – This feature allows you to purchase items in one unit (i.e., case) and sell them in another (i.e., bottle), making it easy to track these products separately even though they were received as one item.
- Individual Package Barcode – You can attach a unique barcode to an individual selling unit to eliminate pricing errors at the point of sale registers.
- Multiple Barcodes – You have the ability to enter both your store’s barcode and the vendor’s barcode. This is especially helpful since many products have different UPC codes based on season and packaging.
- Age Verification – CannaPoint makes it easy to perform customer age verification. You can use either a handheld scanner or a small ID reader which scans the front and back of a customer’s ID simultaneously. This age verification is seamlessly integrated with the CannaPoint software. CannaPoint validates the ID and automatically alerts your cashier if there are any problems.
- Customer Loyalty and Engagement Programs – You can track retail and wholesale customers, giving you the ability to seamlessly charge different prices for each customer type. You can set up A/R charge accounts for customers. You also have the ability to set up frequent shopper programs and offer gift cards, contract pricing, and other perks that will boost customer loyalty.
- eCommerce Website Integration – Upload inventory, customers and prices to your online store and download customer orders into CannaPoint for seamless fulfillment.
- Tips Tracking – If you take tips or would like to in the future, CannaPoint’s tips process allows you to easily track the amounts and the cashier/sales rep for each tip. Reporting by each cashier and to the accounting system is provided in the software.
