ERP & POS Benefits

Selecting an ERP system with an inbuilt or integrated POS has many benefits for retailers and hospitality companies. These benefits can include:

• Business Intelligence, Analytics and Reporting - integrating your ERP and POS allows you to easily pass data between systems, enabling you to easily report on information such as average revenue per customer, cashflow and more. 
  
  
• Inventory Management - it's key to know what you're selling in order to more effectively manage your inventory levels. Without any integration between your POS and ERP system, you can't update your inventory levels in real time. This becomes even more complex if you have multiple sales channels such as ecommerce. 
  
  
• Customer Experience - many ERP & POS integration scenarios enable you to centralize customer data including purchase history, loyalty programmes, marketing campaigns and more into one location. This can create personalized physical and digital customer experiences.
  
  
• Real Time Sales & Finance Data - integrating enterprise resource planning and point of sales systems provides your decision makers with real time sales and finance data which they can use for decision making in the moment. Integrating these platforms allows your business to be more agile and responsive to changing demands and problems.

Integrating ERP & POS Systems

There can be a significant return on investment from integrating ERP & point of sale systems as we've explored above. 

Integrating your ERP and POS system typically includes:

• Sales data
• Product data
• Inventory levels
• Previous purchase history
• Payment data
• Loyalty data 

Is POS an ERP System?

A point of sale system is not an ERP system, but a complementary system responsible for capturing in person, physical and over the counter sales and collecting and processing payments via cash or credit cards. POS systems are essential for retailers, hospitality companies and over the counter B2B trade companies. 

On the other hand, an ERP system is responsible for centralizing financial management and accounting, inventory, sales, manufacturing, project management and much more. By doing this, an organization can easily report on its business data and automate key processes.
