Technology built for your business
Every hardware retailer is aware of how popular smart home products have become. The Home Improvement Research Institute (HIRI) estimates the market for software and products that allow homeowners to control virtually every aspect of their home – from the heating and cooling system to what music will be playing when they open the door – will triple by 2022. Why should your business be any different?
The same innovative technology that allows homeowners to turn on the lights, music and air conditioner as they drive home from work is available to retailers. Store owners can control inventory, adjust employee schedules, check on deliveries, create product sales and promotions, and even do the books from just about anywhere nowadays.
All of this, and much more, is possible with a cutting-edge retail platform that covers all the bases and touches every aspect of your business.
Technology Built for Your Business
For generations, the heart of every business was the cash register and the inventory ledger. Those tools were consolidated when point of sale systems automated and integrated those processes. Retail technology now extends far beyond the checkout stand and the warehouse or receiving dock. A cutting-edge retail platform touches all aspects of business including optimized ordering and inventory management, customer marketing, employee scheduling, accounting, and featuring products online more prominently than Amazon.
As the retail landscape continues to evolve, digital technologies have become increasingly important. Statistics show that retail sales in 2018 totaled $3.7 trillion across all categories, and 92% of those sales were influenced by digital factors such as online marketplaces, digital advertising and marketing, and mobile searches. This trend indicates that digitally influenced purchases are here to stay.
That’s why having powerful in-store tools combined with a strong digital business presence is so important. Paladin Data Corporation provides independent hardware and LBM businesses the tools to keep them competitive in this evolving landscape. Paladin is a single touchpoint to control all aspects of a business through innovative features and integrations.
"I access insights (in Paladin) to do what’s right for my business specifically. I adjust the platform to make it best-suited for what I need it to accomplish," says Bruce Taylor, Bruce’s Hardware.
Additionally, Paladin’s mobile capabilities – Mobile2Deliver, Mobile2Checkout, Mobile2Signature – and Remote Monitoring and Management give retailers the ability to control every part of their business from just about anywhere.
