You bought Clover to take payments.
But are you using it only to take payments?
For many business owners, the answer is yes.
The customer taps a card, the transaction goes through, everyone moves on.
Meanwhile, there may be tools sitting inside your Clover system that could help you understand sales, manage inventory, organize employees, communicate with customers and simplify other pieces of running your business.
The question is not always: “Do I need a new system?”
Sometimes the better question is: “Am I using the system I already have?”
Look Beyond the Checkout Screen
Depending on your Clover setup and service plan, there may be tools available to help with several areas of your business.
Sales and Reporting
Instead of waiting until the end of the month to wonder how things went, reporting tools can help you see sales activity, busy periods, refunds and trends.
Inventory
For businesses selling products, inventory tools can help organize items and make it easier to see what is moving and what may need attention.
Employee Management
Scheduling, permissions, time tracking and other employee tools can help take some administrative work off your plate.
Customer Engagement
Promotions, rewards, feedback and gift-card programs can help turn a simple transaction into another opportunity to build a customer relationship.
Online and Remote Payments
Depending on your business, your payment needs may go well beyond the counter. Online ordering, invoicing, virtual payments and other options may help you get paid in more ways.
The Best Tools Are the Ones That Solve a Real Problem
Having ten features does not mean you need to use all ten.
The goal is not to make your business more complicated.
It is to find the tools that make something you already do easier.
If inventory is taking too much time, start there.
If scheduling is frustrating, look at employee tools.
If you want customers to come back more often, explore loyalty or gift cards.
If you are always trying to figure out what sold last month, take a closer look at reporting.
One useful tool can sometimes make a bigger difference than an entirely new system.
