Why do I need a website for my business ?

To be clear not all businesses desperately require a website and that’s perfectly fine. But we believe that there is no better digital addition to a company than a website with Lynx South Africa, the reason for this is as follows:

  • Free advertising 
  • Builds an online presence of your business allowing your business to reach customers and clients across the country and internationally.
  • Provides a sense of security for clients or customers who have just discovered your company. If people can see that you are proud of your company or brand, to a point where you have a digital space for anyone in the world to interact with your business, they are more likely to trust your brand or company on the first interaction.
  • Allows you to not only sell your products at your brick-and-mortar locations but online across the world.
  • Reduces the amount of client-employee interaction as details about your company can be accessed online instead of having to visit or phone your offices to understand what field or department of work your company is involved in.

Integrated POS and Online Store Database

Any business owner or Entrepreneur that sells products or services from their physical store and online will understand that having a linked database is of utmost importance. It creates quite an issue when your last product in stock is sold in your physical store while someone has just purchased it online. This occurs when you have two separate databases one for your online store and another for your brick-and-mortar store(physical store). With Lynx we have made it a priority to resolve this issue and have successfully done this with one of our international providers.

 

With this software your online store and brick-and-mortar databases are processed as one database remotely. This ensures, amongst other things, that if the last product in stock is bought online it can not be purchased in your physical store and vice versa. Below we will take a look at some of the most popular features of this software and how it can increase productivity in your company by creating a more efficient and effective workflow.

Client/Customer Groups

For companies who have bulk and frequent buyers this software offers a feature where you can create a customer or client group with an associated discount in percentage or monetary value. Using this when a representative from the relevant buyer comes to purchase products or services in bulk the cashier can select the customer group and as they scan or add  the products to the till list the “Total ” amount will automatically be discounted with the associated discount. This removes the chance of human error and ensures that all transactions are correctly processed. It ensures the transaction is as fast and efficient as possible. It also keeps record of all these transactions so that you can go back in the future to review past sales made in the event of a query or audit.
