Overview

Why use the point of sale as the master source for products?

  1. Simplicity - Point of sale platforms can store all the product info needed to sell online including descriptions, tags, and images. This means you only need to enter product information once.

  2. Accuracy - Point of sale systems have detailed inventory management and pricing functionality that is missing from most online store platforms. This is critical for keeping accurate inventory and consistent pricing across platforms.

  3. Flexibility - New products can be easily uploaded directly from point of sale to your online store. You can also match to existing or imported online products. Basically, you can use the product and merchandising workflow that works best for your business.

This approach saves time and simplifies training. It also allows you to complete your product info before uploading. Side benefit; storing high quality product information in your point oof sale creates a backup of your product catalog, making your business more resilient.
