The POS (Point of Sale) Service integrates with popular POS systems like Square, Toast, and Lightspeed to automatically sync sales transactions into Bakery-IA. It eliminates manual sales data entry, ensures real-time sales tracking, and provides the foundation for accurate demand forecasting. This service bridges the gap between retail operations and business intelligence, making the platform immediately valuable for bakeries already using modern POS systems.
