2. Store sales and sales returns, as well as recording sales receipts/invoices
3. Recording of transactions and the movement of goods into or out of the store
4. Recording of other costs 
5. Performance recording from the store sales team
6. The creation of automated reports can be directly available to help analyze store activity, starting from sales reports, stock of goods, gross profit per-item, store costs, to store profits and net losses.

2. Minimize and Prevent Administrative Errors 

Because POS helps entrepreneurs operationalize their business automatically and integratedly, various possibilities of input errors or other administrative errors can be minimized.

This can facilitate the course of the business, because even the slightest mistake can interfere with the incoming data for analysis needs and financial statements.

3. Make the Transaction Process More Structured  

The work of the POS system will give birth to automatic financial reports without the need to be made manually by the entrepreneur.

The report will then be analyzed so that the results can help entrepreneurs create the right strategy and execution to optimize sales.

Meanwhile, suboptimal aspects of the business, such as slow-moving (undersold) stocks, can be identified to be inputs in future strategies.
