At a time when almost all citizens are connected, businesses have more than an interest in digitizing their point of sale to stay up to date. It's no secret that in order for customers to stay and spend in a store, their senses must be awakened. We, therefore, play on the visuals, smells, and sounds. But also on the curiosity of the customer by installing modern objects to energize the place. So that the point of sale stands out, there is a multitude of connected objects and tools to adapt as quickly as possible.
A connected cash register
The connected cash register has the same functions as a classic cash register, with a few more details. There is indeed a cash drawer, a keyboard, a receipt printer, a scanner, or even a touch screen. But this latest generation cash register allows above all to manage all these elements from an application or other software.
From this application, it is possible to manage all the other connected tools of the store: touch tablets, digital display cases, etc. The use of a connected cash register also allows for enhanced security since all the information recorded there is on fully secure servers
Inventory management also becomes computerized with this type of cash register. As is the identification of flagship products or the best sales periods thanks to the cash register software. Convenient to organize the next private sale in the store.
Connected touch screens
This is sometimes where the first exchange between the merchant and the customer comes into play. The customer will inevitably be attracted by the sight of any screen in everyday life, by the sight of the one who sits in the store.
With this screen, which we can imagine in the form of a touchscreen tablet, we allow ourselves absolutely everything. The point of sale is huge and it is difficult to navigate? We share on the screen a map of the business. The items sold could not be more numerous? So it's a store catalog that we share on the tablet with, why not, the technical sheets of the products and the possibility of direct ordering.
But it is possible to go even further. What about a tablet with an integrated camera in the fitting rooms? Thus, the customer can take a picture of himself and share his outfit by email or on social networks, at the same time making a real communication for the store.
An electronic terminal
Classic, but practical. Because when the queue at the "info" counter or the salesperson is immense, the customer very often tends to give up or even to leave the store. To avoid the worst, the most judicious is still to install an electronic terminal where he can collect a ticket at a specific time, for example, to come to the counter. In this way, the customer can continue to take a tour of the store, fill his basket or make fittings while waiting without stress for his turn.
Connected bulbs
Light bulbs, there are necessary for all shops. But what about smart bulbs? To boost the point of sale, these are ideal. Associated with another technology, they can be transformed into an enclosure, a video surveillance camera, or even a smoke detector.
A holographic box
The holographic box makes it possible to show customers a three-dimensional product, floating in the air. It can be placed at the heart of the point of sale, or in a window to attract even more people.
With a holographic box, it is possible that the seller controls the presentation of the product through an application. But if tablets are present in the store, then the customer can also be the conductor of the performance before him. Thanks to the hologram, the product image is realistic and attractive. There is no doubt that the customer will appreciate this playful enhancement of the article.
RFID tags
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags are smart tags. Thanks to a scanner, they make it possible to instantly communicate various information: stock, missing references, price, etc. There is no longer any question for the customer to wait for the seller who has gone to check the details in the back room. Nor for the latter to spend a lot of time on Friday evening carrying out inventories.
A "like" counter
The “like” counter can be connected to any of the social networks. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram… it doesn't matter as long as the point of sale has an account on at least one of them. The principle is simple, as soon as a new user subscribes or "likes" the page of the store, the counter is updated in front of the eyes of the sellers and customers present in the store.
