Did you know that as part of your Retail Pro Software membership you get access to online video training with My Retail Pro TV? This resource is excellent, as it allows you to learn at your pace, and when it’s convenient for you.
-
If you’re more of a reader, there’s a complete set of documentation available to you with each software installation.
-
If you prefer one-on-one training we have excellent trainers available to cover your questions. They can range from the simple to the complex. Our main goal is to make sure that you and your staff know your Retail Pro software well enough to get the most out of it.
-
Finally, it’s highly recommended that you start your own internal documentation on common processes. The use of a manual and flowcharts will really help new staff become productive more quickly. This will also help you provide a standard experience for customers and vendors.

If you are unsure about how to access My Retail Pro TV, would like to ensure that you have a complete set of documentation, or would like to schedule one-on-one training time, please email us at support@retailbycrs.com or call 1.866.204.5511.

Wanted: The Perfect POS System
.
Ask any successful retailer and they will tell you how important it is to find the right POS system for your business. But where do you start? How do you find that perfect POS system for your business? Easy! Just follow these 4 steps and get that important to-do checked off your list! .
#1: Establish your needs and wants
Before you begin your search, think about what you need (and what you would want) the new system to do. What are the possible transaction types, customer functions, and back office functions that you do on a daily basis? Create a list with all these activity types so that you can easily check them off as you investigate each POS solution. Make sure to prioritize these functions in order of importance.
.
#2: Start gathering information
Start off broad by consulting with peer groups and industry experts
Consult fellow retailers on what POS systems they recommend
Review trade magazines and online publications for articles related to popular POS systems
Ask retail consultants (like us!) for their opinion on the POS system brands they trust
Call retail associations like the Retail Council of Canada for their input on trusted brands
.
#3: Request a demo
Once you have a list of brands you are interested in, visit the company websites or call them directly for more information. Ask for any information packages and request a demo of the program from a qualified sales representative.
.
#4: Narrow your list and follow up
Narrow your list to your top 2 or 3 vendors and then call their existing users. Ask them if they would be willing to discuss their experience with the product with you. .
Once you’ve completed these 4 steps, you should be ready to make an informed decision about your new POS system!
.
If you would like to learn more, contact us today and one of our consultants will be happy to help you.

What is your data worth? Would you like a no cost, no obligation vulnerability test?
..
What would you hand to your accountant if your data is gone? How would you plan for your next buying show without data in your reports? ..
Securing your data is not an option anymore. Ransomware, hardware failures, viruses and more create a hostile world for your data to live. ..
We use the backup rule of three.
..
Tier Three. Three copies of your important data. We backup locally, to our secure data warehouse and to a military grade cloud server.
..
Tier Two. Two different formats. A local data copy and a remote data copy to our offsite server.
..
Tier One. Off-site backup(s). Some backup solutions only include one offsite backup. We include two offsite backups. We backup at our server and then backup again to a military grade cloud server.

Canadian Retail Solutions is listening to Spotify with Sweet Boutique at The_Wealthy_Retailer.

2 days ago

We had a great conversation with Laura Oladokun, owner of Sweet Boutique and learned about her journey into the world of retail.

As a mother of 5 and after 15 years of raising her kids while caring for other children at home, she was encouraged by a friend, some luck and a leap of faith which brought her into the retail world. She felt St. Albert was lacking a boutique for every woman, and Sweet Boutique was created.

Sweet Boutique was established in 2014 as a shop for women to find on-trend, casual clothing as well as accessories and jewellery to complete the look. It has expanded to include all-natural apothecary and children's wear. We strive to find quality pieces that fit every budget and every body, carrying regular and plus sizes. All of our clothing is comfortable, flattering and made of the softest fabrics available. Jewellery is sourced from local designers and the apothecary section is the best we could find in natural hair, body and skin care.
