1) Managing Inventory between In-store Sales and Online Sales – Smaller retailers struggle to maintain inventory between their store(s) and ecommerce operations. Often this results in selling items online that are no longer in stock, requirement to manually enter items in both systems, and manual reconciliation of sales between systems. MicroBiz solves these issues with its Magento POS plug-in. This extension syncs products, customers, inventory, and images between POS and ecommerce systems automatically – so that retailers do not need to maintain two separate systems.

2) Creating Targeted Customer Lists for Email Marketing – It can be challenging for retailers to create targeted marketing campaigns. MicroBiz allows retailers to create targeted marketing lists through a variety of sorts and filters – such as last purchase date, birth date, vendor item, department, etc. The lists can be exported for use with popular email marketing apps such as MailChimp and Constant contact.

3) Selling to Different Types of Customers – Retailers often want to sell items at different prices to different types of customers (wholesale vs retail, students, loyal customers, etc. MicroBiz allows retailers to offer special pricing by customer type. Pricing can be based on $ or % discount off retail price, $ or % mark-up over cost or special price. The price adjusts automatically when the item is added to the register.
