As we welcome in another new financial year, looking back on the past twelve months you probably see the times when your business thrived, and you can also pick out a few moments where things could’ve gone better. Looking to the year ahead, you must be asking yourself: “How can I do even better this time?” Foresiight is here to provide you with the answer.
We have been supporting small to medium sized Australian businesses for more than 35 years now with our business management software solutions. Based in Queensland ourselves, we know how to best help Australian small businesses like yours succeed.
Whether your business is run through a physical, in-person location, or if your sales are done entirely over the internet through an online store, business management software is the key to speeding up your sales to reach a higher level of success. Here’s how our business management software solutions including our flagship product ProfiitPlus can improve your sales.
How Things Used to Look
To keep things simple, let’s look at a single business as a case study. Here’s how a hardware store POS (Point of Sale) system might have used to run, and how a lack of efficiency in sales can drag down other aspects of running your own business.
Every time that this hardware store makes a sale, regardless of whether it’s in person or online, that sale needs to be processed. A big sale, like a load of timber and an assortment of fasteners for a big job takes a lot of time. Even smaller sales like a single hammer needs processing. It all adds up to a lot of work that needs to be done. Calculating the customer’s expenses, any sales discounts they might get, GST, it all just takes so long.
But that’s not all. Once that sales data is recorded, it’s still not finished. That data needs to be used to update the store’s inventory levels and accounting books. And if the customer’s data isn’t collected as well, then when it comes time to send out promotional materials then the store is doing so blindly. It doesn’t all need to be like this though; there is a better way.
How it Could Look with Business Management Software
Queensland hardware stores, or any business for that matter, can do better with business management software. With ProfiitPlus, the hardware store that we mentioned now has a POS system that operates automatically, and when their sales system works quickly so does everything else. Now the store’s inventory records and accounting books are updated automatically, immediately, and 100% correctly every time a sale is made.
But it gets even better, because that business management software is also retaining customer data that the business owner is then using to build effective and memorable marketing campaigns. Their messages are now going out to the people who will respond to them the most. With speedy sales the whole business starts to do better.
