Ruby2 POS Top Features
From a customer's point of view, nothing matters more than a fast and efficient service with flexible payment and purchase options. This solution will support your in-store, on-the-go, and online purchases with different POS terminal models to choose from. Here are their features in detail:
Secure payments and flexible mobility
Ruby2 POS allows the Pay-at-the-Table option for faster table turns by allowing customers to pay from anywhere and as soon as the check is available. Using the system also increases revenue by offering curbside pick-up, delivery, and catering.
Driving more customers is the goal of every business; Ruby2 POS uses advanced payment methods, such as Alipay, Venmo, Klarna, WeChat, PayPal, location-based merchant discovery, digital coupons, ads, and more. Your customers shouldn't have to worry if they have cash or not, as they'd be accommodated by multiple payment options, including digital wallets, crypto wallets, & mobile phone apps. They also have the option to split payments in a fast, convenient, and easy way.
Graphical user interface
An easy interface is essential for both customers and employees; Ruby2 is easy to use with a user-friendly and straightforward graphical design, customizable control panel, and easily tailored menus on the screen.
Reporting and analytics
Ruby2 POS offers detailed analytics for businesses of all sizes, whether they be single-individual-run small businesses or large corporations. The system gives you the ability to monitor and analyze transactions while also helping process fast and secure payments, making it a good option if you prioritize security. Transactions can be reported based on many factors, including geography, currency, or date. Managers of different levels and departments can get snapshots with summarized transaction data.
Integration support
One of the best new functions of this system compared to its predecessor is that it has the capability to integrate with other Verifone systems and solutions. However, you must connect to the Commander Site Controller to do so.
Some of the other pieces of Verifone technology that you might want to integrate with your business include site management software, customer management solutions, of media solutions. Having the ability to integrate all of these technologies allows for more efficient system use across various locations.
Verifone is well-known for its fuel reporting technology which can be integrated as well, allowing you to control the functions of multiple fuel and convenience stores from a single, centralized Ruby 2 POS system.
Cloud services
Offering cloud services means a seamless buying experience across all sales channels and all devices. In addition, it provides your customers with smooth and easy payment options and integrates payments into an existing CMS platform. Also, their cloud services enable centralized management by connecting all your payment devices from anywhere around the globe. If they need any updates or maintenance, all can be reported by providing detailed feedback about how well the devices are performing.
