Software Updates
Part of keeping organized is having all of the software necessary to make this a reality. When using a cloud-based system, the updates require you to simply alter the address in which your browser is pointing. If you are using an app, you can head to the app store, click a few buttons and you will have the updates. This makes keeping your system up to date incredibly easy and fast.
Keeping Track of Employees
You likely cannot be at your business at all times and this is especially true if you have more than one venture going on. This means that you need to find alternate ways to keep an eye on your employees. The iPad system allows you to know things like when they clock in, if there is a difference in sales and customer flow during times when you are not present and who is using the system and when. This is helpful to ensure that everything is being run correctly when you are not there to supervise.
Know Your Inventory
Manually counting inventory is a lengthy and tedious process. This is especially true if you have a lot of products or you own something like a bar where it can be difficult to accurately measure how much of each alcohol was dispensed. Your iPad can track exactly what was rung up so that you know exactly what is selling, how much was sold and when it was sold. Keeping a tight reign on your inventory is critical to achieve maximum profits.
Sales and Promotions
These can be hard to track unless you have a concrete system and most businesses don’t because it is far too intricate. Well, the iPad can help you track sales and promotions to determine if they are doing as well as you had projected. This is important because if a promotion is just not bringing in more business then you know now to duplicate this promotion again in the future, or you can make some tweaks to try and improve it.
