A trusted leader in retail data management, Krunchbox is leveraging quality service that is second to none through power of POS data

According to the Statistic Brain Research Institute, only 47% of new retail businesses remain in operation in their first four years. This research explains that many new business owners don’t understand how to run and grow a profitable retail business because many retailers stick to the old-fashioned way of doing business. A little touch of software and technology can automate the boring stuff and bring your business on the fast track. With the technology development, manual tasks like billing, calculating the final bill, adding discounts, etc. can now be automated with POS software. Point of Sale is where the sale is made, whether it’s a mall, market, or a small shop. Going in-depth, Point of Sale referred to as the area of the checkout counter where customers complete the transactions. Thus, for retailers who are considering buying software to manage their business, POS software is the best choice. With a cloud-based POS, retailers can access the store data anywhere and anytime by logging in to the administrator account. Even if you are outside or traveling, you can access the shop’s real-time activities from anywhere. Cloud-based POS is also useful in updating information like offers and discounts while you are out-of-office and have plenty of time to do such work. With the fast and competitive world of retail, shop owners can choose a POS system to replace manual paper-based work management to make better business decisions. The retail business is getting tougher as it becomes more customer-centric.

John Pitman | Co-founder and CEO

Graduating from Cambridge with a degree in Biological Anthropology, life took the first of many twists, and John Pitman spent the next six years with The Dow Chemical Company. After completing an MBA at IMD in Switzerland, the next twist landed him at Coca-Cola Amatil in Sydney, Australia, where he spent four years as Head of Commercial Planning. In 2000, he joined the Sydney based News Corporation- Softbank vehicle, “e-Ventures”, as Chief Operating Officer.
