Beauty retail formats

Built for beauty and cosmetics retailers

Cosmetics and make-up

Sell shades and ranges at the counter, credit each sale to the beauty advisor who made it, and suggest what goes with it.

Skincare and haircare

Track every lot by its expiry date, offer the lot that expires first, and mark down what is close to its date by your own steps.

Fragrance

Sell gift sets as one product with stock taken off each piece, and sell a pack by its own printed code where you track units.

Beauty and wellness stores

Run your own loyalty programme, with plans, cash back and a member's status on the till, across every store.

One till

One till on the counter, the tablet and the phone

iVendNext POS is the same till for every industry, on the counter, a tablet or a phone on the shop floor. A beauty store switches on what it needs in the same app; there is no separate beauty till to learn.

  • Pick the member, and see their plan and cash back on one key.
  • Scan a dated product and sell it from its lot.
  • Credit the sale to the advisor who served the customer.
  • The till keeps selling when the connection drops.

Connected beauty retail

One system for every counter and store

Manage loyalty, dated stock, offers, returns and online orders across every store.

Your own loyalty programme

  • Your own plans and tiers, with cash back on what members buy, held for your return window and then credited.
  • Members move up to the plan their spend reaches, and each plan can carry its own member discount.
  • A code texted to the member's phone before their account is used at the till.
  • Or points earned and spent at the till, with the balance shown during the sale.

Dated stock and lots

  • Track each lot with its expiry date, from receiving to the sale.
  • Offer the lot that expires first, and keep expired lots off the online till.
  • Mark down lots close to their date by your own steps, with one press a day.
  • Sell a pack by its own printed code, and refuse a unit marked sold.

Offers and coupons

  • Buy one get one, a fixed price for a set, a discount on the whole sale, and coupons, by date and store.
  • A welcome coupon for a first purchase only, or a coupon only for your members' group, checked at Pay.
  • Products that go together suggested at the till when one is scanned.
  • Gift sets set up as one product, with stock taken off each piece.

Returns that suit cosmetics

  • Choose which products can be returned, and in how many days.
  • Return with the receipt, part of a line or all of it; stock and money follow the original sale.
  • A return without the receipt needs a manager's approval, and an exchange settles in the same visit.

Beauty advisors on the floor

  • Credit each sale to the advisor who served the customer, for your commission report.
  • Sell from a tablet or a phone at the counter or on the floor, on the same till.
  • Ask customers after the visit how it went, and see the answers by store.

Stores and your web shop

  • Out of a shade here? The till shows which other store has it, and orders it for the customer.
  • Send your products, prices and stock to your WooCommerce shop, and bring paid web orders back.
  • Web orders picked and handed over in store, with who collected each one.

Less stock lost to its date

  • The lot that expires first offered first.
  • Short-dated lots marked down by your own steps, while they still sell.
  • Expired lots kept off the online till.

Offers that hold their rules

  • A welcome coupon checked against a first purchase, and a members' coupon checked against your members' group.
  • The same offers at every till that runs them, by date and store.

Every store and advisor in view

  • Sales by item and store, stock by store, and gross profit.
  • Each advisor's sales in your commission report.

FAQs

Beauty and cosmetics POS software FAQs

Common questions about beauty POS, loyalty and dated stock.

What should a beauty store look for in POS software?

Beauty POS software should handle checkout, loyalty, coupons and promotions, products with expiry dates, returns rules per product, and the advisors who serve customers. Retailers with several stores should also look for stock across locations, central pricing, a web shop link and selling offline.

Can we run our own loyalty programme?

Yes. With Customer-owned loyalty you set your own plans, tiers and cash back. Members, plans and cash back are kept in your iVendNext, and the cashier sees a member's plan and cash back on one key. A service hosted by CitiXsys, the company behind iVendNext, reads new customers and sales to work out the cash back. The app is installed with a key from iVendNext or your partner.

How does iVendNext handle products with an expiry date?

Each lot carries its expiry date from receiving to the sale. The lot that expires first can be sold first, and an expired lot is not offered at the online till. With Expiry markdown, lots close to their date take your own markdown steps, and the till rings each lot at its own price.

Do I have to replace my ERP?

No. iVendNext runs your stores beside the ERP that keeps your books. It connects to SAP Business One, SAP S/4HANA, Acumatica, NetSuite and Sage X3, and your partner connects any other ERP with the iVendNext partner kit.
