SwiftPOS streamlines point of sale with profits in mind
The popular POS system snips off store inefficiencies for a better bottom line.
“The SwiftPOS software creates added benefits for the quick service industry, such as the ability to achieve increased sales with a reduction of staff cost using Order Kiosks and Q busting technology,” said Grahame Day, Managing Director of Samford Software, one of the largest point of sale (POS) suppliers in the Austral Australian Region.
The SwiftPOS system is currently used by a wide variety of franchises, including Boost Juice International and Retail Food Group’s Esquires Coffee Chain.
Other successful implementations can be found in Sushi Sushi with over 70 stores and Foodco with more than 300 installations in Australia and New Zealand. Aktiv Brands has also installed the SwiftPOS system in more than 50 Australian stores.
SwiftPOS has gained popularity for its custom-fit approach to a wide variety of hospitality or retail operations. Quick service restaurants, in particular, get the benefit of “fast, flexible” solutions. Speed is of the essence to the QSR industry, and SwiftPOS quickens the pace of customer transactions, staff processes and back-end management.
The SwiftPOS system hastens order-taking with free standing order kiosks. It can also be programmed to accept orders via the Web or phone, should a QSR require those. “Another enthralling development is the recent release of new voucher technology stimulating an increase in customer loyalty,” said Mr. Day, adding that QSRs can link the voucher feature to Facebook and other existing direct marketing strategies.
For their part, management and staff can easily integrate the SwiftPOS system with a range of hardware including Apple iPads and other hand held devices, even kitchen video monitors and software. Managers have a choice of a centrally located or a Cloud-based system to suit their preferences and operational needs, and can choose to run the system locally with or without an Internet connection.
With one centralized system directing the flow of data, SwiftPOS can produce real time web based business analytics, and improve reporting statistics relating to customer service.
QSR brands with presence in multiple countries are also assured of consistency through SwiftPOS’s multi-language support. “SwiftPOS fully supports multi-language with non-English-speaking franchise stores in several Asian, Middle Eastern and European countries.”
