Making Entrepreneurial Hustle Easy with Pine Labs PoS App Ecosystem
Selling products is half the battle won for an entrepreneur. What’s equally important is to build an unmatched experience for the merchant’s customers so that they can keep coming back.
In addition to managing the customer experience, merchants running small or large-format retail stores must focus on managing inventory, tracking campaigns, invoicing, running promotional campaigns, GST compliance, etc. These tasks are time-consuming and take the focus of small and medium retailers away from their core competency areas.
India’s rising digital payment ecosystem
Several initiatives by the government such as Startup India and Digital India along with financial literacy initiatives by the banking regulator have helped the fintech industry in India grow steadily, and in fact, making it one of the fastest-growing markets globally1. The RBI’s motto “Cash is king but digital is divine” sums up the pace of digital payment adoption in India. The emergence of new digital payment modes has empowered consumers with secure and simple ways to pay at the point of sale. Given how customers are embracing digital payments and especially contactless payments, businesses have no option but to upgrade their payments infrastructure to be in tune with the times.
