What is a retail POS system?

More than checkout: till, stock and customers in one

A retail POS system is software, with matching hardware, that lets you take payments in your shop while keeping track of your products, stock, customers and figures. With Count-IT, it all sits in one cloud system: whatever you sell at the till appears straight away in your stock, your reports and, once connected, your webshop and accounting.

Customers expect speed, convenience and a personal approach. That is why anyone can start using the till straight away, including new or temporary staff, while you keep control of purchasing, margins and stock behind the scenes. Read how the till works, step by step, in the knowledge base on the POS.

Fast checkout

Put receipts on hold, process returns and discounts, split a payment across several payment methods and print or email the receipt or invoice. A customer display lets the customer follow along.

User-friendly for everyone

Staff switch users with their own PIN, and you decide the button layout per location or device. Security codes for refunds, discounts and the cash drawer keep you in control.

Real-time insight into your figures

View turnover, margins and sales analyses per product, product group, employee or location, and export reports to PDF or Excel.

Inventory management and purchasing

Stock per shop and warehouse, minimum and maximum stock levels, an email when stock runs low and an order proposal you check yourself before the purchase order goes out. More in the knowledge base on stock and purchasing.

Variants, barcodes and labels

Work with size and colour variants, bundles and serial numbers. Scan barcodes, including GS1, and print your own product labels.

Customers and loyalty

A built-in CRM, customer-specific price lists and a points-based loyalty programme, fully integrated into the till.

Gift cards

Sell and redeem gift cards at the till, including partial redemption and an expiry date. An easy way to generate extra turnover.

Omnichannel with your webshop

Products, prices and stock stay in sync between shop and webshop, so you never sell what is no longer there.

Basic checkout during an outage

Count-IT is an online system, but during an internet outage you can still do basic checkout at the till; receipts are synchronised later. Day closing, cash counts and cash expenses are all part of it.

Which kind of shop?

A POS system that fits your type of shop

Every shop works differently. This is how different retailers use Count-IT.

Fashion and clothing: sizes and colours

A clothing shop sells the same item in many sizes and colours. In Count-IT you create one product with size and colour variants, each with its own barcode and its own stock. You see immediately which size has sold out and which branch still has it, print labels for a new collection and handle exchanges and returns at the till. Gift cards can be partially redeemed.

Specialist shop: expertise, service and repairs

In a specialist shop, from bike shop to delicatessen, it is all about expertise and service. Register serial numbers, take in repairs and work orders, and sell by weight with a certified Digi scale and price or weight barcodes. With the CRM, customer-specific prices and loyalty points you build a bond with regular customers. Set up products and prices with the knowledge base on products and pricing.

Multiple branches

One POS system for all your branches

Whether you have one shop or several branches, Count-IT shows you per location what is being sold, what is in stock and what needs reordering. You move products between branches, count stock per location and compare performance at a glance. User rights groups determine who can see and do what.

  • Central product and price management for all shops
  • Reports per location, employee or product group
  • Stock counts per location and full stock-takes
  • Volume discount on Full from the second till per location
Compare

Separate till + separate packages vs Count-IT

Many shops use a stand-alone till, a separate webshop, a stock spreadsheet and a loyalty card system. This is how that compares with one integrated system.

Checklist

What to look for when choosing a POS system for your shop

You will use a POS system every day for years. Ask these questions before you choose, including to us.

A POS system for a small shop

Running a small shop with one till? Then above all you want to get started quickly and without hassle. Try Count-IT free for 30 days, then choose between Light (€35) and Full (€69) per till per month, excl. VAT. Inventory management, purchasing and integrations are part of Full. If you grow to more branches, the system grows with you.

  • Inventory management: does the till use the same stock as your warehouse and webshop, including across several branches?
  • Variants: can you manage sizes and colours as variants of one product, each with its own barcode and stock?
  • Webshop integration: which platforms are supported and what exactly is synchronised?
  • Payments: does the till connect to your card terminal, and can you split payments?
  • Outages: can you keep selling if the internet drops out for a while?
  • Tax requirements: does the system comply in every country where you sell, such as Germany or Belgium?
  • Costs: what do you pay per till, and are support, updates and users included?
  • Switching: can you import your product file, and do you get personal help getting started?
