Point-of-Sale (PoS) systems have become ubiquitous in literally every sales-related industry, so only the most clueless dispensary owner would remain ignorant of these essential digital tools. If you’ve been debating whether you’re going to invest in a PoS system for your dispensary, consider the following three reasons why every cannabis business should:

​ 1. Accommodating More Sales While Satisfying Customers

In general, people tend to associate higher volumes of business with longer wait times and lower quality support. After all, if a budtender becomes overwhelmed by a long line of customers, the only option is to make them all wait. A PoS drastically speeds up the process of taking each order in a consistent and accurate manner, helping your budtenders sell products faster with less hassle. Of course, this not only leads to a higher turnaround rate, but also a more satisfied customer base.

​ 2. Allowing More Order Flexibility

Although most dispensaries still sell products in conventional weight units like grams and eighths, a PoS makes it possible to accommodate even the pickiest and most unique orders. By letting customers customize their order amount and variety, you help them spend their full budget without leaving disappointed. For example, a customer could request an eighth split into two different strains. Normally, this could be a hassle for a budtender to compute, especially during busy hours, but with a PoS accommodating such a request is as simple as punching the order in and printing a label.

​ 3. Ensuring and Proving Complete Compliance

With compliance being a major issue for dispensaries, it makes sense to have a tool that helps with ongoing recording and reporting. A good PoS serves as both a front-end sales assistant as well as a back-end accounting aid. With the ability to show that your dispensary is only conducting fully legal and compliant transactions, you’ll have the comfort of knowing that your records can stand up to the toughest legal scrutiny. A PoS enforces compliance by making it easier for your budtenders to calculate and adhere to daily sales limits on a per-customer basis.

​ Staying Competitive in a Burgeoning Industry

In closing, another bonus reason why every dispensary should consider a PoS is to keep up with other shops that are undoubtedly already benefiting from this technology. Nobody wants to be the odd ball that fails to advance in an essential area of business operation like sales management.
