- What integrations should I have for my charity shop POS system?
-
In the complex environments faced by charity retailers or hospitality businesses, you need integrations that will simplify your day-to-day operations and let you focus on your fundraising events and your mission.
First, your best option is to synchronise your charity retail POS system with one of our accountancy apps. This will streamline your financial admin and give you a better overview of your ingoings and outgoings. QuickBooks or Xero are excellent options, with millions of combined users worldwide.
Then, a staff management app will help you handle the volunteers and staff members you coordinate daily. Ensuring their skills are best applied in the right place is important to get the most out of your volunteers and team members. For instance, if you operate a charity cafe, your kitchen staff shouldn't be assigned to sort through financial donations. Deputy is a great team management app that's sure to help you.
Our award-winning app suite covers almost everything you could need from your POS system. Loyalty programs are helpful in that they encourage people to visit your shop again and again. Digital receipt integrations can help cut down on paper usage and costs. In the end, it's up to you to decide what would work best for your charity but our knowledgeable team are ready and waiting to assist you.
