Advanced stock & supply chain management

While a basic POS system might work for simple cash and carry retailers, as soon as you have some degree of complexity in your business and omnichannel inventory you need a better POS system that can support you.
‍
With Retail Express, handling a complex product portfolio, moving stock between stores, managing special orders, viewing live ETAs of supply chain PO's and setting up Click & Collect based on live stock availability all becomes simple. During your free demo, we'll show you exactly how our stock and supply chain management features will work for your business model so you can see your ROI instantly.

“We just reached a point where our previous system...was limiting our growth, customer experience and efficiency. As we expanded there was a need for a system that could handle the complexity of multiple store operations”

—Corey Davison, Operations Manager | Johnny's Furniture

Correct data across your whole business

Using Retail Express' Offline POS Mode, you can continue selling even when your connection goes down. With a 99.9% uptime and Microsoft Azure infrastructure, your data is securely managed and updated in real-time.

All of your sales and product data is stored and synced across every store and channel, meaning you don't run into any cross-platform data integrity issues.
‍
Retail Express takes into consideration what inventory is in and out of stock, and it also takes into account all the other conditions, in real-time, such as stock allocated to Click & Collect orders, stock in transit and products currently on order.

"We have the real-time data and features available to us to deliver consistently excellent customer service"

Reporting & integrations at heart

Retail Express' deeper integration with Shopify and other eCommerce platforms allows you to connect multiple stores, offer cross-channel vouchers and promotions, and gives you accurate, real-time data across every store.

The ability to integrate deeply with your business applications is one of our core strengths. When Retail Express say it integrates, it really integrates! 5,000+ customers can't be wrong. This also allows you to make more data-driven decisions based on centralised information.
‍
Retail Express has such advanced reporting features which surpass POS systems x10 the cost and truly reduces your need to use relics like Excel spreadsheets. Deep integrations with Xero, MYOB, eCommerce stores, various payment systems and more, means your sales and financial data is always accurate and the same everywhere.

"Retail Express allows us to get deep insights into the historic sales performance of all items in our portfolio ...we’re able to more accurately make decisions on what to buy, in which quantities and when for each store"

— Neil Cresswell, CFO | Early Settler
