Price, customization and features – are the three things to consider while selecting a multi-store RMS integrated shopping cart solution
Microsoft Retail Management system offers some amazing features to manage retail business. The RMS application, esp. the RMS headquarters offers features to manage multiple stores in an unprecedented way. A multi-store version of an RMS integrated shopping cart takes full advantage of these features of RMS HQ and gives the retailer a complete command over different stores both individually and in a collective way.
However, to select the best multi-store RMS integrated shopping cart, you need to start with care. Frankly, most of the RMS integrated shopping cart providers see an affluent customer in the retailer who wants the multi-store version and they conveniently ask for an enormous sum. So, the pricing of the solution should be reasonable with the additional prices for each individual store integration should be clearly defined.
Ask the vendor to give a real-time demo on multiple stores and check how the ordering system works. Ideally, multiple orders should get processed simultaneously in different stores and the web integrators should be developed in such way that the communication between the RMS integrated online store and every POS systems and the headquarter should be completely synchronized.
Finally, the multi-store RMS integrated shopping cart solution should be 100% customizable to support your business specific requirements. This is no mean a solution and being a retailer if you want a certain feature, the solution provider should be able to develop that at a reasonable cost. At the end of the day, the solution should be primarily what you want for your business rather what the service provider offers.
