Aldi POS Description
Managing today’s stores, supermarkets or other types of retail institutions can prove a bit of a challenge considering the multitude of electronic devices involved such as cash drawers, card readers, receipt printers, monitors and so forth.
Fortunately, you can rely on the services offered by specialized software solutions like Aldi POS.
The utility undergoes a streamlined installation process and upon launching it for the first time, you are met by a rather unusual user interface. The first element that stands out is the app’s floating dock that provides you with quick access to the app’s main features.
Packs a useful set of features
Feature-wise, Aldi POS recommends itself as being a very useful app for all those who are looking for a straightforward way to improve the accuracy of managing inventories of their retail shops.
Probably the first things you should know about this utility is the fact that it can act as a comprehensive POS, comes with support for barcode scanners and bundles basic functions for stock and transactions management.
Besides this, the app allows you to manage its database, as well as user and customer-related data. Additionally, it also packs useful auto sales reporting engine and tools for creating trading, profit and loss statements.
One clear fact – learning to use this app requires a bit of patience
Unfortunately, it is its interface that lets it down the most. With typical POS software solutions such as this, looks are not that important but what it actually matters most is functionality.
We are not saying that Aldi POS has a non-functional GUI but rather that is not what you would call intuitive. In principle, you are required to find your way to various windows to get tasks done with Aldi POS.
And working with its multiple windows, you are bound to discover that more often than not, going through even more windows is necessary in order to perform even the most elementary tasks.
Additionally, this is an application that packs a large lot of buttons which are not only different in size on each window, but they are also positioned almost randomly all across its multiple windows.
The benefits of using a POS, but not without some drawbacks
Granted, with a fair bit of practice, you can get the hang of it, but the truth of the matter is that Aldi POS’s interface lacks consistency which makes it a bit counterintuitive and frustrating to work with.
All in all, if you are looking for comprehensive POS system and you are willing to go through a relatively steep learning process, then Aldi POS should, at least, be on your list of apps to try out.
