ShopKeep Features

ShopKeep has a good selection of features that will work well for most retail businesses and casual restaurants. It has most of the features we looked for in a retail POS system, along with extras such as employee time tracking.

Inventory Management

This POS system supports an unlimited number of products, and you can use its inventory management tools to organize them by department, category, or supplier. Using the raw goods feature, you can track the items that go into a finished product, which allows restaurants to track inventory at the ingredient level. You can set the system to alert you when items are low. Although it can store vendor contact information, you can’t create purchase orders in this system.

Customer Management

You can collect customer contact information in the system and use it to email your customers their receipts. Integration for Mailchimp is available if you want to run email marketing campaigns.

Employee Management

You can create employee profiles, assign individual register permissions, and decide who can access back-office features. Employees can use ShopKeep’s register app to clock in and out, and you can use its reporting features to see when your business is busy and slow so you can optimize your staff’s schedules.

Reporting

Reporting is one of the system’s strengths. It has reported for sales, inventory, and employees. It shows you your sales volume by the hour, which can help you identify busy times when you need to schedule more employees to work. It also shows you which products are your best sellers and which ones you make the highest margin on. You can export report data to another program in CSV, Excel, and PDF formats, and you can access reports on the go using ShopKeep’s Pocket App.

Integrations

In addition to the Mailchimp integration, ShopKeep’s integrations include QuickBooks accounting software and the BigCommerce e-commerce platform.
