5 Reasons Successful Businesses Integrate Accounting Systems with Their Point of Sale

Point of sale (POS) platforms changed the way businesses around the world operate. Business owners are no longer using traditional methods to track their daily revenue, but instead turning to the POS to automate and manage their operations. Capable of a range of functions in addition to revenue tracking, POS solutions also allow businesses to access data concerning payments, labor, and business performance.

Revel Systems—a cloud-based iPad POS and business management platform—offers accounting integrations and custom reports designed to make the lives of business owners easier. Integrations give operators the ability to combine Revel’s POS solution with external accounting packages, like Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB, saving them time and money.

Here are just a few reasons successful businesses integrate accounting systems with their POS solutions, like Revel:

1) Streamline bookkeeping and accounting operations

Accounting integrations allow you to sync data such as sales, timesheets, inventory, and more. These metrics flow seamlessly from Revel’s POS to your accounting package, freeing you from manually sifting through documents or worrying about the “human error” factor during data entry. Enjoy the peace of mind that your data will accurately and automatically sync between your POS and accounting package.

2) Analyze business trends with custom reports
