Fashion Boutique Point of Sale

Fashion boutiques generate revenue through retail sales of clothing and apparel items. The best fashion boutique POS systems support the sale of matrix items (items that come in different sizes and colors) and high turnover merchandise. Specialty fashion boutiques can range in size from very small niche shops offering highly curated collections to medium-size stores offering a larger range of merchandise. Given the seasonality in the clothing and apparel business, the smart use of buying, merchandising, inventory management and pricing tools are critical. Another feature of a top boutique point of sale system is the ability to look-up the historical sales of customers quickly and easily from the front register, so that salespeople can see what items can be recommended for add-on sales.
