Children’s Apparel and Gift Retailer

The Children’s Shop improves business analytics with a robust back office system, and card transactions are secure

The Children’s Shop has been in business for over 30 years and needed a reliable, cloud-based POS retail system provider. The new POS software needed to be easy to use and modernize their operations.

The new POS system had to process card transactions securely, make reporting a simple task, manage inventory, and most importantly, be accessible via the cloud from anywhere.

Children’s Fashion Retail Store Challenges

As an apparel store, the Children’s Shop used an outdated POS system that didn’t keep up with the modern challenges of kid’s fashion retail. Tech support from the old provider was almost non-existent, and the prior software lacked useful reporting features for running analytics.
