A garment software is a solution used by any retail business that deals with garments. It’s used in:

1. supermarkets

2. small retail stores

3. Medium Retail Stores

4. clothing store chain

5. Showrooms of ready-made garments

6. Fabric and textile stores

In essence, any business that deals with clothing in any form can use clothing software. No matter the size of the company: from a small local store to an international brand, everyone can benefit from the POS system. Clothing store software helps in:

1. Manage retail operation with precision

2. Focus on the key aspects of the business.

3. Free up the job of completing mundane daily tasks

What are the features of a clothing store software?

Think of your garment management solution as a storage place for all the critical data on every item in your inventory. Sort each item based on different classifications, such as price, color, design, and size. It also produces a unique barcode for each garment. As a result of these data, POS software for a clothing store comes with the following features:

1. Faster sales and payment process

2. Smarter inventory

3. Own purchase management

4. Best loyalty programs

5. Discount and promotion techniques.

6. maintenance of financial accounts

7. Analysis and reports

How does the software help the clothing store?

A garment software system can:

1. Increase sales

2. liquidate shares

3. Ensure better customer service

4. Balance payable with accounts receivable

5. Pinpoint trends and strategize for stronger selling

Even more advanced garment software can be integrated with add-on services like alterations and tailoring that further enhance customer satisfaction. But the most practical and useful part of the system is the barcode. For example, using a handheld device, you can capture the barcode of each garment and then update the inventory balance instead of manually checking each item.

What is a barcode?

A series of lines printed on paper that is attached to a garment is called a barcode. The lines on it are of alternating widths. To the naked eye, all barcodes appear similar. In reality, each line of the code is a character that only the barcode scanner can read and understand.

When scanning a barcode, light sensors convert the tracks into electrical signals. The barcode reader (a software) decodes the electronic signals and converts them into the characters represented by the bars. Creating barcodes with the software is very affordable, as is printing it, and any clothing company can have the budget for it.

Why integrate barcode with the Garment POS system?

To use the barcode scanner productively in a clothing store, integration with management software is essential. When the barcode scanner is compatible with the POS system, it scans each item during the sales process. The information thus collected can be used to maintain the inventory.

How is a POS installed with Barcode Inventory advantageous for the store?

When a garment company merges a barcode system with its management software, it gains access to the following benefits.

• When pricing and inventory management is done manually, the process takes hours, if not days. Teaching it to a new employee is even more arduous. But when a barcode scanner connected with inventory software is installed in the clothing store, the same task can be accomplished quickly. In addition, the time required to train a new worker is drastically reduced.

• A clothing store has the same product available in different sizes or colors. It’s just one of the ways that managing inventory in a garment business becomes painstaking. The variation in prices as the seasons change adds to the complexity. It means that when employees do stock keeping, the chances of a mistake happening are very likely. The very nature of the products sold make it so. A barcode system that automatically transfers all information to connected POS software eliminates this possibility of errors.

• The same item in a clothing store goes through many price changes; it’s part of the business. Continuously and manually updating that change is not a very appetizing or fast task. Barcodes make it simpler. A new barcode can be placed on the garment and new pricing (or inventory) information can be transferred through the garment store management software.

• The tracking of each garment in each store is facilitated with the barcode. Eliminate overhead related to inaccurate SKU tracking.

• To run a successful business, the payout time should be as short as possible. Long wait times make customers feel dissatisfied. When barcodes are integrated with the POS, a single scan transfers the following data:

1. Prices

2. discounts

3. Size

4. SKU number

It means that the time taken to process sales is greatly reduced. Entering the same date one by one would have made the payment time much longer.

• It’s not just the check-out that’s faster; any other process is faster like decision making. When you have accurate data at your fingertips at all times, judgments like which item to discount and which to promote can be made in a jiffy. Save valuable resources such as effort, money and time.
