Counter sales is a procedure in which a salesperson simplifies the retail counter rush and delights customers with quick billing. Let’s have a look at the blog and learn more about it.
Let’s understand with a scenario.
You are a retail shop owner and have used the software for the last 5 years in your business for sales, accounts, inventory, and billing. But still, whenever more customers come to the billing counter, you need help dealing with them.
You can’t handle the sudden rush and cannot even make a bill for the customer.
Your business software should solve this situation. If the software doesn’t do this, you need to upgrade your software.
How does SWIL Software’s Counter Sale feature work in different over-the-counter sales scenarios?
The “Counter Sales” feature helps store owners with faster billing and smarter operations where there is a huge customer footfall. It allows them to sell items in loose to customers but allows them to generate sales invoices and update inventories later.
It converts the transactions done by you throughout the day into consolidated transactions. And save the data by maintaining a record of the transactions.
This way, it is a time-saving option and eliminates the situation in which you are afraid about how you will manage and update the inventory.
