Key Benefits of EPoS for Garden Centres

Grow

Easily identify best and worst sellers and react accordingly.

Never run out of stock of the best sellers, reduce the worst sellers, turn back into cash and don’t reorder.

Speed

New products once created are live to sell on the till in 15 seconds (slightly longer for multi branch customers).

This helps to maintain accurate stock and sales figures and dumped sales are reduced.

Price changes are also sent to the tills every 15 seconds.

Portability

Use our stock taking gun to perform multiple tasks away from a desk.

We also have mobile printing solutions for marks downs, and tablet solutions for Goods Inwards and table service in cafes or restaurants.

Labeling

Print labels and signage before stock arrives based on purchase orders, streamlining the lorry to shop floor process.

Label data is pulled from the product database, so no need for constant typing of product descriptions and pricing in Publisher or alike.

“We work closely with Open Retail on improvements to our system. As they write their own software they are able to respond quickly to our requirements and ensure that it works for us”

"Your solution for Making Tax Digital is already saving me time, rather than entering figures in to my accounts package everyday, I am doing it weekly"

Matt Cottingham STAVERTON NURSERY
Open Retail's system has really helped to grow my business. Adding products, promotions is really really easy. Creating shelf edge labels in the shop or barcoded sticky labels for plants was all set up for us and works brilliantly. The back office allows you to pull reports quickly so can see the performance of our suppliers. Great for when doing preseasons orders or deciding if something is working for or not. Their biggest attribute is customer service. They always have somebody at the end of the phone to help whether it’s developing the system further or if there is a technical problem.

Steve Minshull MINSHULLS GARDEN CENTRE
