HOW WALK-IN CUSTOMER ON NP TILL FEATURE CAN HELP RETAILERS

Queue Busting

One very basic purpose this feature serves is queue busting. As you know, long queues at the checkout counter can mar the customer experience. And if you start collecting walk-in customer data at the cash counter, it will take time and the next customer will have to wait longer.

This is where the facility of entering walk-in customer data at non-payments tills comes handy. You can not only gather walk-in customers’ information but also keep the check-out experience fast for your customers.

SMS Marketing

Since walk-in customer data is collected at different non-payment tills, you can collect large data sets and expand your sms marketing campaign.

Identify Abandoned Carts Customers.

Sometimes, customers pick up items and collect bills at non-payment tills but they change their mind at the last moment and don’t make the final payment at the cash counter. If customers’ information is collected at nonpayment tills, you will have a database also of the customers who never actually purchased or abandoned a few items. You can also use this information to contact customers and ask for the reasons of cart abandonment.
