Our garden center POS makes your business bloom

Each business has different requirements for finding the best retail POS system, especially in the garden center industry, but it should improve the efficiency and profitability of business processes across all aspects of the green industry, from landscaping services to inventory tracking and plant SKU tracking, even while managing omnichannel retail.

Garden center owners like you can expand customer bases regardless of store locations, all by including an ecommerce site like Shopify, so you want a POS that integrates with your chosen platforms. Your perfect garden center POS system will also fit your budgetary requirements, help you adjust to customer preferences, and incorporate financial reporting and storage of customer information, even across multiple locations for full scalability in your system.

With an Epos Now POS system, there’s no need for separate inventory management software or spreadsheets as your inventory levels are stored and automated in your back office system. When you sell items and collect payments, whether online, through mobile payments or your main checkout, your retail technology adjusts your real-time inventory, updating sales analytics and dozens of transaction reports so you always have the latest sales performance metrics. You'll always know what to restock and which products are underperforming.

Plus, get automated stock updates sent straight to your email when your seed inventory is running low. Handily, you can also archive out-of-season products for easier holiday product management, using historical reporting for easier seasonal demand forecasting.

The best POS system for small businesses largely depends on the needs of your business. Our Epos Now POS system is perfect for smaller lawn and garden centers as it has all of the functionality you need to run a complex garden center business, plus over 100 integrations and apps to customize the system to your needs, whether you're after sustainability and eco-friendly practices, or a digital transformation. These include accounting integrations such as Quickbooks online, QR code integration for table service in your garden center cafe, business management apps like Workforce.com, and many other popular business tools.

However, the ideal system offers a lot more than an app store. Epos Now's powerful hardware and software combination offers quick tag scanning, label management, and a smooth sales process. Epos Now also offers credit card processing with online payment gateways, contactless payments, e-wallet and pay-by-link functionality.
