Specialty stores are small stores which specialize in specific niches of merchandise sales and services.  You can normally expect to find an extensive range of products, high levels of service and expertise, centered on the particular item or niche the store specializes in.

For a Specialty Store, the point of sale system should be more than just a cash register. Good Specialty Store POS software can be a powerful tool for managing store inventories, tracking customers, creating marketing campaigns and discount programs, and more. Detailed reporting on sales trends, inventory, and customers will provide insight on where a business is headed, important sales trends, store profitability and more.

RetailPoint POS software is the preferred point of sale solution for Specialty Stores and Specialty Store chains. With RetailPoint, specialty shops can easily manage the most critical areas of their business with relative ease. Advanced Inventory features automatically track all inventory for receiving to sales. Inventory controls allow retailers to set minimum and maximum stock levels for each item in the store. The "max" field identifies how much of item will fit on the shelf, or how much of an item to keep stocked between ordering dates. The "min" field is used to indicate how low the stock should get before ordering more of an item, this is a useful tool to prevent over-ordering slow moving items. With RetailPoint powering a specialty store point of sale system, tracking customers and creating focused marketing campaigns is simple and easy. RetailPoint functionality allows specialty shop retailers to create their own customized discount card programs. With these programs the buyer can register to receive a scannable member card or key chain for lower prices within the store. Once the customer registers a complete customer profile and sales history can be kept for the customer. These profiles can then be used for special promotions and marketing efforts.

In a multiple store environment, each location has "live-time" access to customer, inventory, and sales information.  Inventory can easily be searched to find out which locations are currently stocking the item being searched for. Stores can easily research sales and past service regardless of what location the customer originally visited.
