POS System Now More Affordable to SMEs Thru PLDT Checkout

Every entrepreneur knows that technology is important to grow ones business because it can help level the playing field. But because of perceived cost concerns, investing in technology is almost always the least of his priorities – especially for start-ups and small businessmen.

For this reason, PLDT SME Nation is always coming up with products and services to help SMEs get an edge in the highly competitive world of business by increasing profits and maximizing efficiency while minimizing costs with products and services suited for their purposes. Recently, in another effort to make business easier for the small businessman, PLDT SME Nation launched PLDT Checkout, a web-based point-of-sales (POS) system that aims to revolutionize how SMEs are doing their sales and inventory.

“PLDT Checkout allows businesses to have an automated process of accepting and recording sales transactions,” said Ms. Kat Luna-Abelarde, PLDT SME Nation Head. “It also lets them monitor inventory levels and gives them real-time access to sales analytics.”

Among the benefits of PLDT Checkout are the following:

· Real time sales information – The system does away the tedious task of polling. No matter how many stores you have, you can access sales numbers, customer information, inventory and other s anytime.

· Off-site access – You don’t have to be in-store to be in charge of everything. As long as you have internet connection, whether you are visiting a trade show, meeting with potential partners, or in vacation, you can still be aware of what’s happening in your store.

· Improved inventory control – PLDT Checkout allows you to manage your inventory more efficiently, thus eliminating potentials to order too little or too much.

· Low cost and low maintenance – With most POS systems, you pay for the package, hardware and software, which usually cost a lot of money. But with PLDT Checkout, you get a monthly subscription of only P2,750, which includes software updates, maintenance and technical support.

· Improved sales – the system gives you access to customer information, which can give you valuable insight on a customer’s preferences and purchase history, which, in turn, can give you the opportunity to provide excellent customer service, which will make them keep coming back to your store.

These and other reasons make PLDT Checkout the small businessman’s new partner in growing his business.

So to all entrepreneurs out there, why don’t you check out PLDT Checkout.
