Retail Express

Best POS for Grocery Stores

Grocery runs on thin margins and full shelves. Retail Express moves high-volume lines fast with barcode checkout, keeps stock accurate so you reorder before shelves empty, and has room to add stores or online sales.

Common pain points

Grocery POS gaps show up at scan speed and stock

Typing prices at the till

Barcode scanning is faster and more accurate than typing prices at checkout and when receiving stock.

Do not know what is on the shelf

Grocery POS should update stock when you sell and show what is on hand across the shop.

Will not grow with the shop

Cloud POS lets you run the till on PC or tablet and add stores or online later without changing platforms.

Scan speed

Fast barcode checkout for high-volume grocery

Grocery baskets are big and lines move fast. Retail Express scans barcodes at the till and supports multiple barcodes per product, with quick product buttons and predictive search for items without a scan code. Faster, more accurate than typing prices. See POS barcode scan and retail POS software.

Grocery stock

Live stock you can trust across the shop

Stock updates as you sell, so you can see what is on hand and what to reorder before shelves run empty. Retail Express tracks inventory across the whole grocery range, not just takings at the till. See inventory management and retail reporting.

Purchasing

Supplier deliveries and receiving done right

Grocery runs on supplier deliveries. Retail Express handles purchase orders and stock receiving so on-hand counts match what arrives and what you sell, with auto-replenishment to reorder fast movers. See purchase orders and receiving and auto replenishment.

Grow to more lanes, stores, or online
