As a business owner, it is becoming increasingly important to have integrated systems that work seamlessly with each other. A comprehensive network designed to make business easier.  It’s no longer just about purchasing a POS system alongside everything else but about purchasing a complex POS system to integrate with every aspect of your business. A POS system that is able to communicate customer data, track sales, assist in stock management and refine accounting processes is the key to success.

At Acumen Computer Systems, we don’t just sell you a POS System but we provide ongoing support and customisable integrations that assist in streamlining your business processes.

Why do you need Integrations?

Adding integrations to your POS system can help you run your business more effectively as you usually heavily rely on your POS system to perform tasks such as inventory management. Having one system to help you perform all of the tasks you need to do at the checkout, not only makes it easier for your business to make sales but improves the customer experience. Using integrations with your POS system also means when you’re busy your store hands, sales representatives or cashiers aren’t flustered and confused with how to handle sales.

Acumen have quite a few integrations to choose from, here are five integrations you should consider adding to your POS System:
