Key Challenges in the Retail Industry
Uncontrolled Inventory & Stock Mismatch
Retailers struggle with stock-outs, dead stock, shrinkage, and manual errors.
Slow Billing & Poor Customer Experience
High footfall stores require fast POS systems to avoid long queues and customer dissatisfaction.

Multiple price changes, discounts, and offers are difficult to manage manually.
