POS smart gives you option of taking advance booking from your customers.
Used Cases:
Garment Shops:
- You have specialized items. Customers pre-order things from you by giving you advance amount against the orders.
- When the item arrives at your location, you make the final invoice for the customer, and take the remaining payment.
- Customers may have more than one items pending on different booking document at a time.
- Customers can do the usual purchases from you while they have other booking documents waiting to be completed.
Sweet Shops/Coffee Shops:
- You take party orders or cake orders.
- Customers place an order with you for bulk sweets / snacks and pay you deposit.
- Customers may make changes in their orders before the order is actually delivered.
- POS will keep track of changing orders and will keep the final transaction to remove confusion of multiple booking in these cases.
- When the order is finally delivered, you can prepare the final invoice and only charge for the remaining amount.
All Other Shops:
- If your business calls for taking advance money from customers in any case, this feature will be of great use to you.
Advance Booking Document will:
- Track changes in order changes if any.
- Remember the prices agreed upon when the order was booked. When you convert the booking document into invoice,
- POS will apply the prices from booking document and not from current prices from the system.
- In older versions of POS, you could not take advance from the customer if he had any pending invoices in the system.
- But now with the help of advance booking documents, your customers can pay you in advance for a specific booking even if had pending amounts on other invoices.
