Shahi Groceries: Canadian Grocery Store Streamlines Multi-Channel Sales Operations
Shahi Groceries is a Canadian grocery store that is a one-stop shop for authentic Indian food products and ingredients.
They have a large catalog where customers can find ready-to-eat meals, spices, and all the essentials needed to recreate their favorite Indian dishes.
The store believes customer satisfaction and keeping customers happy and fulfilled is the key to a successful food and grocery business.
Whether looking for something sweet or savory, the grocery store has it all for those craving a taste of Indian food.
They encourage customers to be their chefs and provide all the necessary items to bring those traditional flavors to life.
OpenCart development services helped them to manage their online store with their physical outlets.
What Challenges did Shahi Groceries face?
Shahi Grocery wanted to sell products in its physical stores and its online website in a seamless way.
They had challenges keeping track of inventory, sales, and customer information across their different selling channels.
It was difficult to manage products and orders on multiple available physical outlets and the online store in real time.
So they needed a point of sale(POS) solution that could connect with their existing online OpenCart store.
To meet this business requirement they contacted Webkul with the help of UVdesk support.
In this case study we’ll come to know about the solution that resolved Shahi Groceries’ challenges.
Solution:
Integrating OpenCart Point Of Sale System
The OpenCart POS System extension provided Shahi Grocery with the system they needed to manage their physical outlets and online store seamlessly.
This eliminated having to manually enter information in two separate systems as the POS system worked even without the internet for placing the orders.
The following image shows the store interface of the POS terminal.
The store staff could take customer orders in person and all the sales, inventory, and customer data would automatically sync with their online OpenCart store.
The below image shows the products and the cart items in the POS terminal.
